Hotel Inn

Hotel Inn sits on Via Francavilla in Taormina, the hillside Sicilian town perched 200 metres above the Ionian Sea with the snow-capped silhouette of Mount Etna on the horizon. The hotel offers a restaurant, bar and a terrace from which the famous theatrical backdrop of the Teatro Antico — the Greek-Roman amphitheatre whose stage opens to a panorama of sea and volcano — is just minutes on foot. Taormina's main pedestrian promenade, the Corso Umberto, runs the length of the old town connecting the main town gate to the spectacular Piazza IX Aprile belvedere. The nature reserve beach at Isola Bella is reachable by the hotel's beach shuttle or on foot down the cable car, and the concierge arranges day trips to Mount Etna, excursions to the hilltop village of Castelmola and boat tours along the Ionian coast. Hotel Inn is a practical, well-placed base for travellers exploring Sicily's most celebrated coastal town.
