Adults-only hotels in Taormina

In Taormina couples' tourism is not a niche, it has been the norm for generations, and it shows in the kind of hotels the town has built. The catalogue shows five properties, all checked by hand: they are also the only ones in the province of Messina.

The Greek theatre and the pedestrian centre

The monument everyone wants to see is the Greek theatre, looking onto the sea and Etna, and for precisely that reason it should be visited as soon as it opens or in the last time slot. The rest of the centre is a succession of alleys, churches, palazzi and gardens, with shops open late. It is pedestrian, and that helps evening silence a great deal.

Isola Bella, Mazzarò and the sea below the town

The town stands high up, the sea lies below: the reference beaches are those of Isola Bella and Mazzarò, reached by going down. They are small and fill early in the warm months, so early morning remains the best choice. Anyone who prefers walking will find paths and day-long excursions in the Etna area, a short way off.

On timing, spring and autumn are the best seasons here: comfortable temperatures, good light and a town that becomes breathable again after the peak months. In those weeks it is also easier to find a place in the properties that do not take minors, which remain few even in a town like this. It is worth remembering that booking agencies offer no dedicated filter: the feature has to be hunted inside the descriptions, and that is exactly the work behind these pages.
