Hotel Villa Greta - Taormina

room standard did not match website photos and the room was noisy and smelled of cigarets :-(

The hotel must be renewed. The furniture is old, the bathroom had a bad smell and the shower was not working properly. The owners are friendly.

The hotel has a very nice location with views over the sea and Mount Etna (that was the reason for booking it), however I had a very bad experience with their staff, including the owner. First of all, the room I was offered was different from what I booked and didn't have central heating. The air conditioning system was providing only cold air and I […] was freezing during the night. However, I am allergic to air conditioning and could not have used it anyway. The hotel should mention that they only use air conditioning for heating. It was cold in the bathroom too, as the room/bathroom have only a wooden roof. The shower cabin was tiny! When I checked out the owner was not available to talk to me about my complain and one member of the staff came with ridiculous excuses as they only use air conditioning in Italy and if I can't stand it I should not return to the country! One good point for them: the room and bathroom were very clean! But the surroundings were quite in a mess because they were doing some refurbishment! I could not enjoy my stay there! Devamı

For a low budget stop over,fine! Staff friendly and helpful. We only stayed one night, room and toilet were clean, air-conditioning worked very well

Lovely little hotel. Clean and staff are very friendly. Much better than I expected from a 2 star hotel. Only a few minutes walk down a lot of steps to main part of town. Views from balconies are amazing. Very reasonably priced...would definitely recommend it.

Well after being greeted in a nice way we was taken to are room, which was in a nice location but i did notice a smell of damp in the entrance hallway. the view was very nice, & on a clear day you can see mount etna.. me and a friend stayed here for 2 nights out of 8 days in italy:) we had a comfortable quite night in the room which was good after […] our long journey.. The only thing that really could of been better with the room was if the shower could of been bigger i'm not a fatty but i found it hard to move which was i bit frustrating... morning breakfast was rubbish!! & there only seemed to be one guy, who was trying to do everything like.. help other guests at reception answer the phone attend to the dinning room, of which there was 8 guests at the time, waiting for there breakfast service and he seemed very stressed which i CAN understand, poor guy:( Anyway if i remember we had, a croissant, a bread roll with no choice of jam "I hate cherry". a coffee that was nasty, just tasted of coal dust!!! was i really in italy? I then noticed that every one else was ordering a cappuccinos, at extra cost no doubt, i guess they didn't think too much of the house coffee either we did get some cornflakes...yippee but only after having to wait ten minutes for them to refill the milk jug and at one point, i did ask the waiter, receptionist, maybe even the cleaner if i could have a boiled egg as i had seen a finished one on another table. and he abruptly answered NO! omg sorry for asking!!!! we noticed the drying room for the towels in the afternoon, it seemed to be in a very damp area, and all the towels were hanging there, and it was raining now so it couldnt of helped much when we got back to our room after a long day exploring beautiful taormina all i was looking forward to was a nice "tight" shower.. lol unfortunately when i went to dry myself, the towel was damp, in fact all of them were!! did they change the towels i wondered, i think they did. it was just that Devamı

I arrived in Taormina in the evening without a reservation anywhere. I found an internet cafe and booked this room. When I arrived, they had not yet received the email regarding my reservation, however they accepted my reservation printouts and were very accommodating and polite. This hotel has a nice restaurant and bar, with a nice breakfast and a […] great view of the coast. Other than the shower not working, it was an excellent experience. Devamı

The hotel has a beautiful view from the dining room and the food and beds are good. However, it is not suitable for anyone who has problems with steps. We counted over 200 steps from the lower street level to our room. We arrived by car and the hotel only provides street parking on very steep narrow streets. We asked for a non smoking room and that […] was perhaps the problem. The location of our room was at the end of the garden had no balcony like a number of the other rooms. Some of the furniture had broken handles but the worst was that we had a toilet that was leaking around the base (it was fixed during our stay) and our towels were not changed during our 4 day stay even though some of the linens were dirty because of the leaking toilet. We also were told initially that breakfast would not be served until 9 am which is pretty late if you want to make excursions. Later we found out that you could ask for breakfast as early as 6 am if you let the staff know in advance. Devamı

We are budget travellers so our priorities are maybe different from couples who are looking for a resort holiday, with this in mind Villa Greta would score 10/10 easily. Taormina is a spectacular place to spend a few days, longer if you enjoy days down at the beach below the town. This hotel would not be suitable for anyone with mobility concerns, […] buggy with young children etc. It is accessed from the town up a well lit path, mostly steps climbing for approx 10min so when you arrive with bags it is essential to take transport, the Castelmola bus (at least every 30min) or the town bus, both are used to tourists and know where to let you off for your hotel. Great spot for sight seeing as you are halfway up to Castelmola, and near to Madonna della rocca, you can use the paths or jump on the town bus if you are not so keen on a walk. Breakfast was a simple enough affair, pastries, jam, meat, cheese, rolls and cereal - my only criticism would be that it would benefit from not being quite so formal, be nicer and more relaxed - if it was help yourself. We didn't eat in the restaurant. We never had the need for much interaction with the staff but they seamed pleasant and helpful. The room itself was very dated and mismatched but that really didn't matter as it was clean and secure. Bathroom was practical. Telly and aircon both worked fine. We spent all our time either out or on the balcony, 2 chairs, a table and the best view possible, town below, Etna to the right - constantly changing with the clouds and light. We had some pretty bad weather but the lightening just added to the view again. After 4 nights the walk home did start to tire, but a change into comfy shoes and 10 minutes later you lost your envy of the town hotels. Would go back in a second, and highly recommend to all like-minded tourists. Devamı

we spent two nights there. everything is just perfect except for the location and a lady working in the daytime.

nice terrace directly on the room with beautiful view good bargain

For the price of the hotel per night and the location, this hotel was not worth it. The Shower in the bathroom was the size of a coffin and not comfortable at all, we had to open the door to the shower in order to wash ourselves. The air conditioning sucked and you had to walk miles with your luggage. The best part of the hotel was the view, it was […] spectacular. You are miles away from the beach as well so either pay more to be right in front of the beach, or get a hotel on the mountain that is ok with a great view. Oh and the restaurant in the hotel is expensive, you can eat for about the same price in the center of Taormina. I wish we had payed a bit more and stayed somewhere else. Devamı

Hotel Villa Greta is ideal if you want a reasonable priced break in Taormina and good value for the price charged. Dont be put off by the dated appearance as the rooms are clean and comfortable with maid service daily and although the bathroom did not look like much everything worked and the shower excellent for rubbing off the dust of travelling. Greta […] appeared a bit formidable at first but when asked for anything flashed the most wonderful smile and tride her best to accomodate needs. She searched around to try and find me an adapter to charge the mobile. The restaurant on the terrace was the ideal romantic setting under the stars and moon with etna in the background looking down on the lights of Taormina. The waiters accomodated my sons faddy eating and specially made him chips which he said were the best he ever tasted and at 4 euros a bargain in Taormina. They also did not mind if I only ate a starter and made it feel like a banquet. Food was delicious and great variety for a small restaurant.Equally the breakfast is the best I found in Sicily if you ask for coffee a small bucket arrives with a jug of hot milk fresh bread and different jams, meats, cheese every morning. The staff made me feel special even though we stayed in the budget room and did not have much to spend. The steps may be difficult for someone with mobility problems or small children. The gardens are spectacular and we had a wonderful sense of privacy and were pretty much left in peace. Devamı

Oppholdet på Villa Greta startet dårlig med maur på badet. Men en velvillig og serviceminded betjening gav oss raskt nytt, rent og maurfritt rom. Hotellet er litt slitt og krever at man er god i trapper. Det er maaange av dem - og det føles litt trangt i trappeløpene. Men rent og skikkelig. Frokosten var herlig, og utsikten er upåklagelig. Herlige terrasser […] m solstoler utenfor rommene. Utsikt mot søndre Taormina, Etna og sjøen i retning Giardini Naxos. Akseptabel gåavstand til sentrum (kortest om man går trapper), men det går også busser. Det er få tilgjengelige parkeringsplasser, men hotellet anviste plasser i gaten utenfor. Devamı

Situé en hauteur, entre le centre et le village de Mola, l'hôtel a des chambres spacieuses et chaleureuses. Le petit déjeuner (généreux) se prend dans la salle de restaurant dont la vue sur l'Etna est simplement magnifique, on y passerait la journée. Les gens de l'hôtel ont été discrets mais efficaces. On a pu garer la voiture sur la route à côté de […] l'hôtel sans pb. Nous avons été emballés par la ville et par ce lieu. Devamı

hotel ubicado en la ladera de la montaña lo que hace que todas las habitaciones tengan vista al mar y al Etna. Buen desayuno, la habitación un poco justa para 4 personas.

ECONOMICO BEL PANORAMA TITOLARI CORDIALI E DISPONIBILI, NELLA CAMERA NON MANCA NULLA IN PIù C'è IL POSTO AUTO QUASI GRATUITO.UNICO NEO PER ANDARE SUL CORSO SI DEVE CAMMINARE PER 10 MINUTI ABBONDANTI DI SCALE! COMUNQUE OTTIMO!

La más destacable de este hotel son las maravillosas vistas que tiene del Etna y de la costa de Taormina.

In base alla cifra che abbiamo pagato tutto sommato e proporzionata alle condizioni generali dell'hotel. Va bene per chi cerca una struttura conveniente e che vuole risparmiare. Buo panorama.

Hotel muy agradable, con vistas impresionantes de la costa y el volcán. Habitaciones muy cómodas con terraza muy bonita.

Questo albergo dispone di una bellissima vista sul mare di Taormina ma i punti positivi si fermano qui: l'albergo e diventato troppo vecchio e avrebbe bisogno di una ristrutturazione generale delle camere.

Ajaessamme rinnettä ylös meinasi usko loppua: voiko täällä olla hotelli jossain? Ja missä kaupunki on? Mutta hotelli löytyi ja todella uskomattoman ihanan, suorastaan henkeäsalpaavan maiseman keskeltä. Hotellin parvekkeelta näkymä oli aivan uskomaton. Vain kahden tähden hotelli, mutta todella ystävällinen palvelu ja NIIN ihana paikka, että enempää tähtiä […] ei kaipaakaan! Hotellilta alas lähti aika jyrkästi alamäki, välillä portaat ja taas katua alamäkeen. Kävellen alas pääkadulle oli 7 minuutin kävely, ylöspäin takaisin hotellille pari minuuttia enemmän :) Suosittelen! (paitsi ei huonojalkaisille) Devamı

Belle vue à partir de la terrasse des chambres. Bon rapport qualité-prix. Compter 15 minutes à pied du centre ville de Taormina. Personnel d'accueil aimable.

Accueil parfait dans cet hôtel : hôtesse charmante! Chambre un peu monacale mais nous trouvions cela assez original en, fait. On dort dans un lieu calme, accroché à la falaise et dominant toute la baie de Taormina. Rien de très pratique pourtant, des escaliers et encore des escaliers, pas d'ascenseur, évidemment. Petit déjeûner très correct et repas […] du soir absolument délicieux. Très agréable séjour dans cet hôtel, beaucoup trop court! Devamı

très bien situer pour accéder au centre historique. belle chambre avec accès a très beau jardin méditerranéen avec une vue exceptionnelle. très bonne prestation.une bonne adresse.

L'hotel est sur les hauteurs de Taormine mais pour moi un atout car toute la ville est en étages donc les 12 minutes de marche dans les rues en escalier jusqu'a la rue principale vous feront partager le mode de vie de cette ville et surtout vous permettront de profiter du magnifique panorama sur l Etna depuis votre terrasse et lors du petit déjeuner […] puis d'aller faire un tour au Castello à proximité avec un poit de vue encore plus beau. Certes, l'hotel est vieillot mais c'est aussi pour cela qu'il est si bon marché. Un conseil : ne garer pas votre voiture dans les parkings très onéreux de l'entrée de la ville malgré les prescriptions des guides touristique sous peine de devoir monter les rues en escalier de la ville avec vos valises ! Vous pourrez vous garer dans la rue de l'Hotel gratuitement. Sans conteste un très bon rapport qualité prix à Taormine et un bon souvenir ! Devamı

Das Hotel hat einen wunderschönen Ausblick über die Küste und den Ätna. Unser Zimmer war sehr geräumig und sauber. Das Hotel liegt am Hang und hat viele schmale Treppen, die in verschiedene Etagen führen. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit und man sprach deutsch. Das Frühstück war OK. Den Corso Umberto erreicht man zu Fuß in ca. 10 Min […] uten. Devamı

Acogedor, familiar, fácil de encontrar, vistas panorámicas y preciosas. Trabajadores y honestos. Sólo pasamos una noche allí, pero el sitio es encantador.

Dommage que les chambres soient aussi sommaires, car l'emplacement est parfait avec une vue sur l'ETNA et la baie depusi le petit dej...

L'hotel è in una splendida posizione, impone 600 metri di camminata in salita (fattibilissima in 10 minuti) per rientrare da Taormina centro. Grande la camera posizionata su terrazzo con ottima vista panoramica, bagno comodo e con doppio lavabo. Unico appunto, considerate le scale per raggiungere le camere dall'ingresso dell'hotel sarebbe gradito un […] servizio di trasporto bagagli. Devamı

Hotelli sijaitsi muutaman sadan metrin päässä keskuskadun toisesta päästä. Kävely hotellille sisältää lukemattomia porrasaskelmia. Hotellin edestä tosin kulkee oranssi paikallisbussi, jolla pääsee näppärästi kulkemaan ympäristössä - vie mm. alas rannalle saakka. Bussi liikennöi noin 1,5 h:n välein, yhdensuuntainen matka maksaa vain 0,5 €. Hotellista […] on upeat näköalat! Huoneeseemme kuului oma terassi, jossa 2 rantatuolia. Suurimmassa osassa huoneita parveke. Hotellin ravintola oli erinomainen! Hieman hintavampi mutta rutkasti tasokkaampi kuin perus pizza-pasta-ravintolat. Ruoka oli herkullista! Alkupalat/-ruoat n. 8-15 €, pääruoat n. 10-25€ ja jälkkärit n. 5 €. Huoneet siivottiin joka päivä. Huoneesta kuitenkin löytyi viimeisenä iltana yksi torakka. Palvelu oli erittäin ystävällistä! Aamupala oli vaatimaton mutta ihan ok. Joka päivä 1 croissantti, hilloa, mehua, kahvia, pari sämpylää, hedelmäsalaattia ja tomaatteja. Ainoastaan leivänpäällinen vaihteli, joskus oli pari siivua juustoa, joskus kinkkua. Devamı

Un hotel avec vue panoramique sur la baie de Taormina et le volcan Etna. Chambre correcte avec terrasse. Petit déjeuner face au volcan!

El hotel tiene unas vistas impresionantes y las instalaciones están muy bien (acordes a la categoría del hotel). Tiene muchas escaleras,no es apto para personas mayores o con problemas de movilidad. para los demás, las vistas compensan con creces las escaleras. Está a 10 minutos del centro de taormina andando. Es muy silencioso y muy fresco para ve […] rano. Devamı

bellissimo e molto particolare rispetto al costo comunque onesto. la vista è molto bella e suggestiva così come le atmosfere. cordialità ottima. grazie e alla prossima....spero però in una stanza con terrazza. grazie. rossella

Villa Greta es una muy buena opcion para alojarse en Taormina. Hay que tener en cuenta que esta hacia arriba, por lo tanto son como 600 metros en subita entre escaleras y cuestas. La vista desde el hotel es increible tanto de dia como de noche. Las habitaciones son sencillas con duchas pequeñas pero cómodas .

The hotel owner calculated enormous high internet fee (€25 for a couple of times) without warning us regarding the price. They came with the high price when we checked out. We coud'nt do anything about it. If we knew, we would not have used it. We agreed on the price regarding a extra night. It would be the same as the previous nights. Afterwards, […] when checking out, he came with a higher fee and was not reachable by phone. After a long discussion with the elder man who does not speas English at all we managed to lower the fee.

Det var ganska svårt att hitta hotellet då hotellingången ser ut som en telefonkiosk där man ska gå in och ner för en brant trappa ner i berget. Man ska inte ha svårt att gå i trappor för att trivas i Taormina med omnejd. Hotellet har en fantastisk utsikt över Naxos bunkten, men för att komma till hotellet krävs en slingrig färd upp på serpentinvägarna. […] Hotellet och Taormina är helt klockrent för par i alla åldrar. Absolut den mest romantiska stad jag varit i med mysiga restauranger och affärer. Städningen var superbra, rummen väldigt spartanska men mysiga och personalen väldigt trevlig och tillmötesgående. Frukosten var helt okej. Väldigt bra hotell för det priset! Kan varmt rekommendera hotellet för dem som inte vill sitta på rummet och uggla. Devamı

маленькая семейная гостиница - изумительныйе виды вокруг, номер уютный, персонал исключительно доброжелательный и приветливый. Высоковато карабкаться, но в Таормине все так. Ресторан дороже, чем в городе, но качество еды значительно выше.
