Plemmirio Vacation Packages

POSITIVES: The property is right on the beech. A sea view from the terrace was magnificent. Our delux double room on the second floor was light and airy. The bed was comfortable and bed sheets clean. Towels changed daily. We visited in early March so the heating was on, but you can adjust the temperature yourself. The hotel is conveniently located only a couple of minutes away from the bus stop for Taormina. The hotel lobby was pleasant and the hotel grounds clean and tidy. The outside swimming pool was closed but it looked pretty small for such a large hotel. The staff were pleasant. NEGATIVES Sparsely furnished bedroom. An extra chair and a small table would be good. Generally, parts of the building outside need maintenance (crumbling facade on our terrace). Scrambled eggs at breakfast looked and smelled strange. Generally the food quality did not seem to be very good. We stayed at a relatively quiet time but when a new group of guests arrived we could hear the noises, doors closing and showers running at night. The spa was closed for maintenance so not much to do around the hotel. In summary, a pleasant stay and a good value for money but some changes in the upkeep and a better food quality needed.

The access to the property appears to have been designed to keep you there for your stay...

Palazzo Vecchio Taormina is an amazing hotel! It is a Palazzo that has been wonderfully and tastefully renovated. My room had an incredible view of the sea and the bells from an old church nearby. Waking up and looking out of the window and facing the morning light was unforgettable. I have stayed in many top hotels around the world- besides the above, what distinguishes this hotel is the people working there- the staff at the restaurant (Armando, Vincenzo) are outstanding. The staff at reception as well! I had a massage with Giovanna that was perfect after a morning hike from Castelmora to Madonna della Rocca to Taormina - highly recommended! All in all a fantastic experience at the Palazzo Vecchio where the staff made me feel so welcome!

Lovely views over Isola Bella and super helpful & friendly staff.

The property doesn’t have a pool, only a spa that you have to pay for. My kids were really disappointed.
