This hotel was comfortable, clean, and in a perfect location. The staff at the front desk were wonderful and very helpful. Our son got sick while we were there and they were extremely kind and helped us line up a doctor’s visit. Would definitely stay here again if we return to Taormina.

We thought the overall stay was okay. We had two major issues including our safe that was not working that we reported the first day and nothing was resolved. The second issue being our AC was making all kinds of loud noises whether it was on or off. When we reported this to the maintenance staff, nothing was made of it. Made the nights at times unbearable. Would still recommend the stay, but our experience was poor at times.

Amazing staff and excellent location to all the shopping and restaurants. Very good breakfast options and a wonderful outdoor courtyard to enjoy morning coffee and breakfast. Can’t say enough about how well we were treated and the restaurant recommendations provided. Will be back to Taormina and will definitely be staying at the Hotel Piccolo Giardino.

The location and staff were excellent. Being close to the main pedestrian street it did have considerable noise at night and the city began "waking up" around 5:30, which shortened our sleep. Breakfast was also pretty good.

Nice little hotel with pool. Though changed hands last Nov so restaurant and bar not yet open. Management, upon our request, changed our room to a larger room which was really great of the. Breakfast simple but plentiful. Staff (all). very friendly and helpful. We have stayed at this hotel over 6 times now 2022/23. 2024 they were booked and this year 2025. Was great to get back to a place you can call home. Good bang for the buck, or Euro! I would like to personal thank the management for making our stay and wonder week in Taormina!

Horrible! Booked 4 rooms for 3 nights in heart of summer and they had no air conditioning in rooms from 8am to 10pm. And they lie and mislead public by conning them into believing that their system was “down”. Bathrooms were dirty with mold and paint/tile chipped. Drains clogged so showers flooded rooms. Toilet flushers popping off walls. They advertise smart TV’s but connection was so weak that not even basic cable available. It’s in a great location, had a pretty pool deck, and decent breakfast but that’s about it! Whole place was one giant false advertisement
