Our stay at the Hotel II Piccolo Giardino was wonderful. It is conveniently located in the heart of Taormina. Breakfasts were delicious and we ate them every morning in their outside terrace area. Vincenzo was extremely helpful before and during our stay.

Clean and comfortable room. Ideal location, just a block off Corso Umberto and a short walk to the Teatro Antico di Taormina. Breakfast was very good and the views from the fourth floor were amazing. The front desk attendants were very helpful and service was overall great.

We had a wonderful time at Il Piccolo Giardino - the hotel is in a great location with direct access to the pedestrian streets of beautiful Taormina. The cable car to Mazzaro is also only a 5 walk away. The hotel staff were so lovely and accomodating and provided us with information and recommendations. We enjoyed the simple buffet breakfasts. The rooftop pool is small but offers a nice view and a place to cool off the in the summer heat. If you have a car I would recommend using the valet service, which gave us a small discount on our parking but was also super convenient as the car was only ever a 10 minute wait and we didn’t need to walk/climb the stairs in the heat. We are returning to Taormina next year and would definitely consider staying here again.

Plus points:
Property is well located in the main town and all staff were friendly, helpful and amazing.
Breakfast was ok but plenty of places to go out and get something nearby.
Views from the hotel were great as well.
Negative points:
Pool area especially the decking area needed some repair and maintenance.
Room was ok but shower had no pressure and kept running hot and cold while using it. Also shower could have done with a better clean.
Lift was out of order for a couple of days.
Other point to note:
If you like a firm mattress you will sleep well in the beds.
