The hotel was lovely with a gorgeous view and the location was perfect to walk into the main shopping and dining area. The staff was fantastic and took amazing care of us. They even gave us a bottle of prosecco when the found out it was our anniversary. They served a fantastic breakfast each day. The only issue was the metal shade that was supposed to roll down to block light from coming into the room was broken and we told the front desk clerk who was going to try to fix while we were out but was unable to. Because of that we were up at 630am each day due to the blinding light that came into the room. If you don't mind getting up that early on vacation it would not be an issue. Overall the room was nice and we greatly enjoyed our stay there.

FANTASTIC. Location was beautiful, both the hotel itself and the natural setting of Taormina and the gorgeous views of the Mediterranean. The breakfasts were superb --- the best we had in Italy by far. But the main reason for our great experience was the warm and friendly staff, led by the wonderful Antonella, as well as the kind and helpful Marco and Mario. Would only ever stay at the Pensione Svizzera in any future trips to Taormina. We truly hated to leave.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, with suggestions of places to visit and good local restaurants. It is in a great location and within easy walking distance of all the attractions and the bus station. The hotel was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the breakfast varied and plentiful. We would stay at this hotel again.

While I am sure the property has very nice units, our room was tired. Literally no view and noisy from the street. At 250 euros a night plus 25 euros a day for parking, we didn't feel we got a good value.
