Palazzo Vecchio – Historic charm in the heart of Taormina
Palazzo Vecchio Taormina is a luxurious 5-star boutique hotel set within a restored 19th-century palace overlooking the city’s ancient walls. Located on Salita Ciampoli, just steps from the Duomo and Corso Umberto, it offers a refined and intimate retreat in Taormina’s pedestrian zone.
12 unique suites blending colonial, baroque and Moroccan styles
Spread over three floors, each of the 12 suites has a distinctive design: neutral contemporary tones on the first floor, Sicilian baroque on the second, and Moroccan flair on the top floor. All suites feature bay views, elegant furnishings, Wi‑Fi, minibar, safe, and modern comforts.
Exclusive spa with hammam and Jacuzzi
The private wellness area includes a six-seat Jacuzzi, hammam, and a serene relaxation zone—offering guests a moment of peaceful luxury and well-being during their stay.
Fine dining & rooftop cocktails with a view
The on-site restaurant, Monsù, is located in a charming winter garden inspired by colonial orangeries. It revives noble Sicilian recipes from the era of the “Monsù” chefs. The Blue Sky Bar, perched atop the tower, serves cocktails with breathtaking views of Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea.
Prime location with bespoke services
Rated 9.6 for its location, the hotel offers the perfect base for exploring Taormina on foot. Services include a private beach shuttle, elevator, concierge, two bars, free Wi‑Fi, and 24-hour assistance for a seamless luxury experience.
Belle Époque ambiance meets modern hospitality
Meticulously restored by architect Andrea Perra, the hotel reinterprets aristocratic elegance and Grand Tour romance through a fusion of design styles and timeless Sicilian allure.
Tailored experiences & rooftop terrace
In addition to wellness, guests can enjoy curated experiences such as Etna excursions, Ape Calessino tours, and gourmet tastings—all enhanced by an unforgettable rooftop suspended between sky and sea.
