Church of the Immaculate Conception

What an experience! Great location in the heart of where you need to be

The hotel is about 20 minutes up a very steep and winding road above Taorimina so it's not convenient to go back and forth. The decor is dated, but the hotel has an old world charm and the setting is beautiful. The back of the hotel looks at Mount Etna and the wonderful pool faces it too. The breakfast was nice and had typical Sicilian pastries. They could update the decorations in the rooms and lobby.

This hotel is one of a kind exceptional. My sister, father and I stayed for 4 nights and on arrival we were immediately welcomed by wonderful staff and the hotel owner, who informed us they would feed us very well and look after us. This couldn’t be more true. Firstly, the food here is unbelievably good - the Pachino tomatoes are the sweetest you’ve ever tasted and the menu is delightful. So many choices for delicious fresh fish and the vegetables from their garden are delicious. The olive oil, vegetables and even the wine is grown by them. The atmosphere is really special, Villa Giulia somehow manages to create a wonderful calm environment where you feel at home instantly. The service was amazing, everyone who works here is lovely and it feels like you are welcomed into a Sicilian family immediately. Thank you so much for a perfect stay Villa Giulia.
