Hotel Villa Schuler — Hotel in Taormina

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Villa Schuler in October 2024 for four nights. As the leader of a group of 28 traveling through Sicily, I was a bit anxious about ensuring that our final stay in Taormina would meet everyone’s expectations. However, Hotel Villa Schuler proved to be a perfect choice and far exceeded my hopes, providing each member of our group with an experience that was truly unforgettable.

Villa Schuler’s location is unbeatable – just a quick stair climb away from the main pedestrian street in Taormina, making it easy for our group to explore the town. The hotel has an inviting, charming ambiance that makes you feel like you are staying somewhere truly special. We felt instantly at ease here, and many in our group mentioned that it was their best hotel experience ever.

Gerhard and Christine Schuler, along with their son Andrea and the entire team, welcomed us with a level of hospitality that felt genuine and personal. They hosted a cocktail reception for our group, where Mr. Schuler shared the hotel’s rich history and offered us advice on making the most of our stay at the hotel. Every interaction with the staff reflected a careful balance of professionalism and warmth, especially the reception team – Claudia, Mariangela, Elena, and Simona – who went above and beyond to accommodate our needs with grace and kindness.

Our rooms were exceptionally clean and thoughtfully appointed making it clear that the Schulers paid a lot of attention to detail. The views from both the rooms and the common areas were breathtaking – the kind of panoramic views that make you stop and appreciate the beauty of Sicily. An unexpected but delightful surprise was the lush, expansive garden, which was meticulously maintained and provided a peaceful escape from the busyness of the town. Mr. Schuler even led a private tour of the garden for some members of our group, showcasing its unique plants and tranquil atmosphere.

A heartfelt thank you to Mr. Schuler and the entire Villa Schuler team for making our stay so memorable. They have truly created a special place that combines the warmth of family hospitality with the elegance of an exceptional hotel experience. We felt like part of the family, and every member of our group left with a deep appreciation for the care and dedication that went into every detail...

The hotel’s location is absolutely perfect — close to everything, yet peaceful and authentic. The interior design is full of character, with beautiful spaces that make you feel like you’re in a historic movie set. The breakfast area and the views are to die for — truly breathtaking! The breakfast itself is generous, beautifully presented, and delicious. The breakfast staff are simply wonderful — special thanks to Rosita, who is the absolute highlight of the hotel. She makes every morning feel special. Now, about the room — we made a mistake choosing one without a sea or garden view, and instead ended up facing the courtyard, which really has no view at all (just rooftops). So definitely make sure you book a sea-view or garden-view room — it’s worth it. We wanted to upgrade, but the hotel was fully booked. The check-in process could definitely be improved. If you arrive by car, note that parking can be stressful, especially in the dark. There’s little information beforehand about where to leave your car or how the valet service works — we arrived tired, driving through narrow one-way mountain streets, and it was confusing to find where to stop. The valet eventually parked it in the garage, but clearer instructions would help a lot. Also, check-in itself was slow — after a long trip (and being visibly pregnant), I would have appreciated a bit more understanding and flexibility. Instead, everything was quite procedural — passports, luggage, forms, photos — it would have been nice if they’d simply let us rest and finalize those details later. Housekeeping did a great job overall — very clean and nicely arranged every day. So, in summary: • Breakfast & staff: absolute highlight — amazing team and presentation! • Housekeeping: excellent. • Reception: could be more attentive, flexible, and better coordinated. (They even once gave out the wrong car from the garage!) Despite these small issues, I would definitely return — next time I’d just make sure to book a sea-view or...
