We loved our stay at Hotel Medousa. The staff was very welcoming and happy we were there. It’s a smaller staff and it was great to get to know each other! The room was perfect and the location was easily walkable to everything in town. We ate at the restaurant and had drinks at the garden bar multiple times. The food and service was wonderful and we would absolutely go back.

I had a great night at the hotel and honestly could’ve stayed longer, I was just there for the night because I’m based somewhere else for the month of March. Host who greeted me was very kind and communicative. The room was extremely comfortable and cute, the little terrace is nice to have as well. The amenities in the room are good with a little fridge, a nice coffee maker, good products, and slippers. The location is also very convenient. I would 100% recommend this location if you’re considering booking at.

Friendly greeting by Carmen on arrival who enjoys a laugh! Perfect location to explore Taormina centre, 15 seconds to the main strip but still outside of the hustle and bustle. Great sized rooms and the staff are very accomodating. For couples, cheeky shower, for mother and son maybe not. Helped a lot to be able to park at the hotel and have the valet service.

What a wonderful place to stay. The staff were all lovely and Loris was especially helpful. Message in advance for instructions if you are driving - it’s simple enough but you need the instructions of where to bring your car. Paying for the hotel to take the car and park it was a great choice. Our suite was lovely and being so well located by the gates to the old town was just perfect

I can’t say enough about the staff here! So kind, thoughtful, and go above and beyond! The property is in a great location and the breakfast terrace is dreamy. I stayed in two different categories. The 1st floor room is huge, and well taken care of with tons of closet space and a sitting area. The upper level room was smaller and more cozy, but had an incredible walk-out balcony with lounge chairs. I would definitely stay here again the next time I am back in Taormina.

We stayed at Medusa Suites during our time in Sicily and it truly exceeded our expectations. The facilities are very well maintained, the rooms are spacious, clean, and stylishly designed. The air conditioning worked perfectly (very important in August) and the beds were extremely comfortable. The location is excellent — quiet yet close to the main areas. The staff were friendly and always willing to help. You can tell it’s a well-cared-for place with attention to detail. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended.
