Relais 147 is an exclusive boutique B&B set at number 147 of Corso Umberto, Taormina's iconic pedestrian street. Located in a historic residence with original frescoes, Sicilian artwork, and a refined design, it offers a unique stay that blends privacy, comfort, and understated luxury.
With only 5 accommodations – including the Family Suite, Master Etna Suite, Jonio, Umberto, and the “I Mori” Standard Room – each is individually designed and features air conditioning, Wi‑Fi, minibar, espresso machine, private bathroom, and in some cases, a panoramic terrace.
Behind an antique 17th-century door lies a hidden garden with Mediterranean plants, outdoor Jacuzzi, solarium, and lounge area. A small indoor gym and wellness space for massages complete the offering for guests looking to relax in peace.
A rich breakfast is served daily in the garden or in the elegant indoor dining room, featuring fresh pastries, local produce, and homemade specialties. The atmosphere is welcoming, with attention to detail and service.
The relais is within walking distance of the Greek Theatre and the cable car to Isola Bella. It offers free Wi‑Fi, airport transfers, concierge service for excursions, daily housekeeping, and an external parking option (upon request).
Despite being in the city center, the relais is remarkably tranquil. The hidden courtyard provides a peaceful haven away from the bustling street, making it ideal for couples and travelers seeking a relaxed atmosphere.
The staff – particularly Rohid and Salvo – are consistently praised for their kindness and professionalism. Relais 147 receives glowing reviews for cleanliness, ambiance, and service, making it one of the top-rated B&Bs in Taormina.

His Opinion: Sehr schön renoviertes Anwesen mit ansprechend ausgestatteten Gemeinschaftsräumen und Gästezimmern. Die jungen Gastgeber sind freundlich und hilfsbereit, ihre Restaurantempfehlung hat unseren Geschmack genau getroffen. Die Lage ist zentral günstig gelegen, aber gut von Straßenlärm geschützt. Absolut empfehlenswert!

His Opinion: Beautiful place to stay inside the city, lovingly decorated and with the most beautiful patio and terrace. Very nice hosts. Only getting very large suitcases there is a bit cumbersome. Otherwise the perfect place; whether you want to stay in or go out. Highest recommendations. Will surely try to come again.
