We recently stayed at the San Pietro Hotel in Sicily, and what an exceptional experience. The room was perfect, boasting a breathtaking views from our beautiful balcony. The hotel had a recent upgrade and the interiors in all areas were absolutely gorgeous. The breakfast spread offered a wide variety of options. Although the hotel is located away from the city center via a long windy road leading to , this added to the charm, and the complimentary private shuttle made transportation easy. Must give a special mention to the wonderful Virginia, the guest service manager, who was incredibly helpful, friendly and the best staff member we’ve ever encountered. Highly recommended San Pietro

Located slightly away from the centre but free shuttle provided so no hassle at all.

The hotel has a great location over looking the sea,the staff were very nice, rooms were lovely but i would expect this any way at the price they are charging.The have a shuttle service to the town which is very good.

The only thing i did not like was when at breakfast i asked for some fresh pineapple and the lady who was seeing was very rude and told me to have what was left in the fruit container.I would expect a 5 star hotel to keep replenishing all the food on the breakfast service.I did not want to complain because i wanted to enjoy my holiday.But any way if the manager asked her or his breakfast staff the lady concerned will know what i mean its a shame but its true. Thank you.

Great location, epic views and lovely recent refurb.

Cocktails were horrendously expensive and food recommendations were not great, but we didn’t have a good meal in Sicily

We loved everything of it. It has probably been the best holiday experience in many 30 years travelling. Location, Sea View, Room, Food, Restaurant… Everything. But the most important has been the service: VIRGINIA (incredible host one of the best), Micaela (outstanding help and support), Andrea at reception, Luigi at Batu Restaurant (extraordinary service - above and beyond) and the super Chef Luca and Bar Expert Marco… But also Roberta, Danielle, Yelitza, Angela, Rafael… OUTSTANDING!

Only thing: The facade needs a renovation that is coming next year and the Gym needs a couple of more training machines (running, biking…)

An absolutely incredible hotel. Perfect location, away from the main hustle and bustle of Taormina centre but not super far out. Easily walkable (albeit up a hill!) although the hotel offers a free shuttle every evening (just book in advance). The bedrooms were beautiful and so comfortable. Breakfast was amazing and so much choice. Also loved the late night bar, the cocktail menu was fabulous! Overall a brilliant experience, would definitely come back!

Pool area could do with a bit of TLC We hired a car and although there is parking at the hotel, we got charged for it! They don't make it super clear in the T&Cs.

The room was large and comfortable with a fabulous balcony and view of the sea. The staff were always friendly and went out of their way to help. Breakfast was amazing! The location was perfect - just a short walk (up a nearby staircase and through a stunning communal garden) to the main street of Taormina and the beautiful greek theatre.

The pool was a great size and had a fantastic view, but it was not available for early morning swimming (laps) or beyond 6pm. It was common to get back from a long and hot afternoon and be refused access to the pool for a cool down dip. As it is daylight (and hot) for another 2-3hrs, this seemed a shame - the pool was a big reason for booking the hotel in summer.

Beautiful, newly renovated hotel in a great location! We loved our 4 days in Taormina. Our room was spacious with all the necessary amenities! We had a really nice sized balcony with amazing views of the Ionian Sea. But what makes this hotel amazing is the Staff! Truly the kindest, most welcoming hosts we ever had! Shout out to Virginia at the front desk for making us feel so welcomed and her exceptional work ethic! Breakfast in the gorgeous terrace was great! The shuttle between the hotel and Taormina was a lifesaver! Don’t hesitate to book this hotel. Can’t wait till we come back.

This was my second stay at the Grand Hotel San Pietro, and it was just as incredible as the first. The breathtaking views, luxurious yet impeccably clean rooms, and the genuinely kind and attentive staff made every moment feel special. The buffet breakfast was a highlight, offering a delicious variety of fresh, local options to start the day perfectly. The hotel’s serene location near the heart of Taormina, combined with its top-notch amenities and welcoming atmosphere, make it an absolute gem. I can't wait to return again!

Wonderful location with a spectacular view of the Ionian Sea and Isola Bella and a walking distance to the center of Taormina. (They offer a shuttle if you prefer not to walk). The hotel is very elegant. The rooms were renovated recently and they have fine decorations and a nice view. Staff is very friendly and it made our stay special. Breakfast has a good selection, including some typical Sicilian sweets. Beautiful terrace with pool and a nice gym with great Sea view.

Can't complain. Everything was perfect.

Incredible hotel. Amazing modern rooms - we had the most amazing view overlooking the water and absolutely loved sitting on our balcony which was stunning. The pool is beautiful and big, and it's really easy to get into town - it took us around 8 minutes to walk!

The only thing we didn't love was the breakfast - it was very average and basic, and if you wanted to order anything fresh (i..e eggs) it cost upwards of 20 euro. For such a nice hotel, I expected a better breakfast but we still absolutely loved our stay!
