What they say about us
Only real reviews from TripAdvisor and Google Reviews.
We loved every minute of our stay at Villa Schuler ! We can't recommend it enough! The staff was so welcoming and helpful in every detail, we felt so well taken care of that it felt like home! The view is spectacular of Mount Etna and the sea and the hotel owns a beautiful private garden where you can stroll on the way to the nearby shopping street. There are many cafe's and restaurants in the vicinity.
"We got married at Hotel Villa Schuler in September, and the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we began planning, the team went above and beyond to make our wedding day seamless, beautiful, and stress-free. Every detail of our ceremony was thoughtfully organized, and the staff was absolutely incredible—friendly, professional, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect.
"Last August / September we again visited beautiful Taormina and stayed in Hotel Villa Schuler for the 8th time. As always, we were amazed by professional and friendly service, fantastic hotel location and amenities. Located a bit away from the main street Hotel Villa Schuler is an oasis of calmness but at the same time it's just a few steps uphill to "all that jazz" at Corso Umberto.
"Amazing, magical place. Full of character, charm, exquisite water views EVERYWHERE, terraces, lush fairytale gardens with iron tables and chairs tucked away around every corner. And the location is perfect- you can walk through the gardens, open a private gate and walk right up to town. Marco, Simone and every staff member is wonderful, warm and accommodating. Thank you Villa Schuler!
"Recently spent two days with my family and grandkids at Hotel Villa Schuler. The hotel was beautiful, location was incredible with beautiful ocean views and very close to Taormina city center. The staff was absolutely fantastic. So kind, friendly to us all. Helped us out with tips on where and what to see, restaurants to eat at. I can't thank them enough for their kindness and service. I would highly recommend staying there if you're planning on visiting Taormina, you'll most certainly love the experience.
"A gem of a hotel in Taormina! We stayed for 2 nights in the Sea View room, and everything about the hotel - the aesthetic, decor, staff, and service - was top quality. Can’t wait to be back. We unfortunately opted out of the breakfast, but if we were to do it again, I’d definitely include it. We caught a glimpse of the breakfast setup from our balcony, and it looked absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this hotel - great value, beautiful ambience, and a wonderful overall experience.
