We experienced outstanding service from all of the staff, the breakfast buffet was lovely, lots of options and all homemade. We had a fantastic dinner in the restaurant one evening, which we booked ahead of our trip.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (569 reviews)

From the moment we stepped foot in the NH Collection Taormina we were treated amazingly. We were given a briefing and showed a map (with lots of great recommendation's) from the concierge staff, which really helped us get a great grasp on what to see and do in the area; with only a few days there this was really helpful. The hotel itself is stunning & the room we stayed in was gorgeous with amazing views and all the luxury you could imagine. We will 100% be back and give rave reviews to anyone who wants to listen! :) Thanks for making our stay unforgettable.
