Mendolia Beach Hotel - טאורמינה

מלון מתוחזק לעילא, צוות מצוין, ארוחת בקר הטובה ביותר שאכלנו בסיציליה, יחס אישי ביותר, מומלץ בחום

Wonderful staff, cleanliness and very close to all amenities.

Good value for Taormina, which is otherwise very pricey. They did family rooms with sea views. Own entrance with own key. Private parking (at cost). Beautiful view. Excellent breakfast.

Neither of these points are the hotel's fault! However, it's at the beach, rather than in the old town, so the considerable cost of the cable-car has to be factored in as you may not want to do the steep walk up and down the cliff at night. Sharp shingle beach, so bring flip-flops or similar.

MBH is a family-run 1950's hotel with a dozen or so rooms just above the beach, A walk down a set of steps across the road takes you to the Mendolia Beach club, a seperate facility on the sand with beach chairs and a restaurant/bar. It is a five minute walk to the cable car which goes up to the town center of Taormina. This is one of the best values we experienced in Italy. The reason is the room. We loved our room. If you can handle a short flight of stairs after the topmost elevator floor, reserve room 129. It is a small corner suite with separate sitting room with complete kitchenette, bathroom and small bedroom. It offers a spectacular view of the bay from it's private balcony, with the bonus of a side patio complete with a dining table. This room is exactly what we envisioned when we planned our trip to the Amalfi coast and Taormina. Breakfast buffet was average to good. Typical variety of (too good) pastries, cereal, ham, cheese, etc. Hats off also to the ever-present, friendly and helpful Mario, who was a delight.

Like many rooms in Italy, the shower was small and drains very slowly and despite our bes efforts, always got the floor wet. The room has it's own 20 gallon (or so) hot water tank, so long showers for two people in a row are out. The sitting room has two day beds to sit on instead of a couch or comfortable chair. Understand the reason for this. Just saying...

A very well located hotel - all aspects were as per the reservation, staff heplful and friendly. Breakfast was adequate but no cooked food apart from a boiled egg.

No dislikes

The view, the big balcony & the shower in bedroom

Location - fantastic views with easy access to cable car. Wonderfully spacious rooms. Although on busy road - very quiet. Generous breakfast. Helpful staff.

Nice place, nice hotel. Far from city center, but funicular is just one block (5 minutes) away. Quite many nice restaurants available all around (by the beach).

We had to carry your luggages one floor up by stairs (our room was a quadruple one and has an independent entrance). Other kinds of room have elevator available.

Small cozy hotel with lovely views from the terrace. Good location close to the sea and funicular. Very good breakfast.

location.. location.. location.. our room with a huge balcony with the beutiful view of Isola bella was exeptional..

the bathroom need an urgent treatment..

I loved this hotel. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable. The view is spectacular and although the road is just below it was not too busy or noisy. The breakfast was great with lots of choice. I recommend the cakes and of course the cappuccino served with a smile. The price was very reasonable considering the location and included use of the Beach Club. The swimming was great. I agonized about where to stay on this trip but was very pleased we chose to stay below in Mazzaro. It was tranquil compared to Taormina but only a three minute walk to the cable car to town.

It was all good.

The position of the hotel and balcony room, the breakfast and efficient and friendly breakfast man. The use of the beach club. Proximity to the cable car up to the town. Good nearby restaurants.

beautiful view, included use of private beach, short walk to cable car to Taormina, nice balcony

parking, even to unload baggage, was a problem; room was small - only just adequate; parking an extra Eu.12

The hotel is in a beautiful location and also close to the funicular up to the city. The breakfast was outstanding. The staff was very helpful and worked with us when we had a miscommunication about the original reservation. They made a stressful situation come to a satisfactory conclusion. I enjoyed our stay and only wish it was longer.

Had an appartment on 4th floor, great view of isola bella with a terrace and a balcony.

Shower a bit tight, beach facilities though good, staff weren't helpful or friendly. I got up and walked away from the beach restaurant having been ignored for 15 minutes....i.e. use the sun beds but not the restaurant.
