Villa Schuler

We have just returned from our stay at the villa. We loved that it was a family owned/smaller boutique hotel. The hotel is located a street below the main Corso or walking street and sits on the side of the mountain with splendid views. Our room was one of the top floor suites with a large balcony. We loved to watch the sunset and boats in the bay below each day. The staff were very accommodating and helpful to organize dinners and a day at the beach. Breakfast was wonderful with many options. If you want to be right in the middle of town and able to walk everywhere easily then this is the hotel for you! However, once you step into the garden it is peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

If you’ve read some of the reviews before this one, you know Hotel Villa Schuler is a diamond among the many gem accommodations of Taormina! My wife and I seek out places to stay like Villa Schuler and we found possibly our favorite stay from a long and varied list of travels! For all the reasons that can be found in the other reviews here. As for our personal experience, we found all the staff to be absolutely wonderful. We truly felt like we were treated as friends and not just hotel guests to be waited on. When we arrived at our room, we were delighted to find that it was unique in that it had 2 balconies! As far as we could tell, ours was one of only 2 like this. We recommend room #6 or the one directly above it. I’m guessing the suites on the top floor are even better but obviously with a higher rate. An added feature of the corner room with the 2 balconies is that it created great airflow in the room. Always very comfortable. This trip was so great and largely made possible through the incredible Hotel Villa Schuler. For better or worse, Taormina seems to be experiencing rapid growth at the moment because of The White Lotus series. If you want to be a part of the old charm and beauty of Taormina, choose Hotel Villa Schuler. You will fall in love with it!

‘Heaven is a place on Earth’. This is how I felt with every step I took whilst walking around the beautiful gardens from Villa Schuler in Taormina. We chose this amazing villa as it has one of the most scenic views around the coast to Etna and the sea and every morning for breakfast we would admire the surroundings that looked like a painting. Our room was at the third floor and we’ve had a lovely terrace with two sunbeds and we even got to enjoy some sun baths during this time of the year, which was amazing. The staff was extremely nice & helping and it made our stay truly incredible. If you want to have a beautiful and relaxing stay in Taormina, I really recommend this hotel. Cannot wait to come back soon!

We loved our stay at Hotel Villa Schuler! The room and bathroom were very large in size and filled with amenities. And the location! Beautiful views of the coast from our room and the back entrance through the gorgeous garden puts you right in the city centre. The staff were so friendly and extremely helpful. Cannot recommend this hotel enough if staying in Taormina.

We stayed 4 nights in Taormina as a base for both exploring the Ionian Sea side of Sicily and experiencing the wonderfulness of Taormina. Villa Schuler was perfect because: the location allows 10 minute walk to spectacular ancient temple at the top of Taormina, steps away walk to main street that goes through town, private short cut through back gate to town (after passing through beautiful garden), very attentive staff, space available for any guest to read, chat, sit on 4th floor solarium (if rainy) and porch as well as large terrace on hillside a few steps down from registration desk. Turns out that nice to have small turnout by Villa Schuler for pick up or drop off by car (because extremely narrow streets with limited parking). Highly recommend choosing sea view (so you have small private balcony) and prepaid breakfast (so you don’t worry about cost of specific choices to order).

I stayed in 3 hotels as I traveled through Sicily for 12 days, and this hotel was hands down a 5 star. From the amazingly friendly staff, to extra blankets in the room. From a clothesline in the bathtub to lines with clothespins on the balconies. The view of Mt. Etna and the ocean. The food! The baggage handler, the amenities, this hotel is as good as the old Waldorf Astoria in NYC! The owner is so kind and

Beautiful hotel in exceptional location close to everything. The room was quite large and well appointed. We looked at the inside courtyard and garden. That was very quiet and comfortable. Some rooms have an amazing view of the ocean and coast. We absolutely loved our stay at this fantastic hotel. The staff went out of their way to help with whatever we needed. The breakfast on the outdoor terrace with a view was spectacular. The food very good and the service excellent. We drove and it was not too difficult to reach the hotel. As soon as we got in the tight parking area the staff welcomed us and took the car to the garage. We hope to stay at this wonderful hotel and town again and we highly recommend it.

Great place. Economical, great location, really what you would expect from a good 4-star hotel. Amazing views, nice gardens. Good breakfast. Very friendly staff with good advice on local attractions and restaurants and really no downsides.

Amazing staff and amazing hotel. Beautiful location and attentive and personable employees who give advice and help with any wishes you have. The hotel is very close to the Main Street and the places to see, but quietly placed with a view to the ocean. Can wholeheartedly recommend this hotel for anyone staying in Taormina.
