Excellent Location in Taormina - Need improvement
The hotel is in an excellent location to access all the important landmarks in Taormina. The hotel shows a lot of wear.The carpets, besides being worn, do require some deep shampooing. Breakfast was good. The attention form the owners was very good. Parking is a major issue. You get charged for parking but you park on the street to some assign areas. The street is one way street. You need to park so close to the wall that the driver cannot exit unless he/she jumps over the center console. If you feel that parking when you arrive is thought wait until you have to turn around the car to leave.

Avoid this place
After booking a reservation at Villa Chiara through Expedia, we tried on several occasions to contact the hotel via phone and email to confirm check-in time. We received no responses and when we showed up for our reservation we were told no reservation existed under our name despite several confirmations from Expedia. We stayed at another hotel in Taormina and would recommend that others do the same since they don't honor reservations.

Great family run hotel
This is a nice little family run hotel. The general areas are starting to look a little tired, but the rooms are clean and light and the bathroom recently renovated. Location is great. Close to the Main Street yet quiet. We had a car and it had to be parked off site at extra cost, however it was a full valet service, so it worked well. I would recommend this hotel to other travellers.

My family and I loved our stay here! The staff were very knowledgable about the surrounds, activities to do, and were more than helpful with whatever questions we had. Breakfast was fantastic, the room was clean and had everything we needed, and the hotel is right next to the main street!

Excellent economic central family hotel
A really friendly, centrally located small hotel. Tricly, but free parking in a narrow dead end. Some trafic noise, but highly recommended as a very cheap, friendly and central place to stay. Spending 3 times as much in a 5* hotel would bring very little extra benefit.

Villa Chiara
Great location just off main entrance road, and close to shops and restaurants. Hotel is a bit 'old style' which has its own appeal. There is no lift, so our host lugged suitcases up the stairs for us. The first room had no view, so we had to ask for a room with a balcony for the second night. The host was very friendly and obliging, and breakfast was good. It's a good budget hotel in a beautiful town.

Deludente.
Doccia con tenda volante che si appiccica al corpo. Odiosa! Camera con finestra alta a soffitto. In fase di prenotazione Bastava solo mettere la foto con questi servizi per dare la possibilità di scegliere o cambiare. Io non avrei prenotato e avrei pagato volentieri qualcosa in più per avere la camera con una finestra decente e il bagno con box doccia.

Emplacement parfait pour flâner à Taormina
Très satisfait de ce séjour. Ultra propre. Le petit déjeuner est presque parfait, très copieux avec des produits frais. À un prix imbattable. L'emplacement est excellent, juste au dessus du Corso U.Emmanuele. Les gérants sont adorables et font tout pour faciliter le séjour. Rien à voir avec l'accueil aseptisé d'une chaîne hôtelière. Nous avons utilisé le parking de l'hôtel pour notre monospace avec quelques sueurs pour faire demi tour. Fiat 500 recommandée mais Taormina n'est pas faite pour la voiture.

Un albergo da scegliere solo per la posizione!
La posizione dell'albergo è buona perchè vicinissimo al centro. Tuttavia, una sorpresa inaspettata al momento di pagare l'hotel: il parcheggio che sembrava essere incluso fra i servizi ma è costato 20 euro, in un posto molto scomodo! La colazione, poi, non veniva servita prima delle 8,00: mai sentita questa! Albergo da ristrutturare: camere vecchie con parquet!
