Beautiful views, amazing gardens, fabulous pool and friendly staff. Good location between the beach and the town - walk down to the cable car to avoid the steps up to town. Spent many happy hours just at the hotel on the balcony looking at the beautiful view and using the pool. If you love cacti then this is the place for you!

We loved Terra Rossa! The grounds were beautiful, the pool was lovely, and the apartments were stylish. Only things I can offer to mention is that there is a steep 10 min. hike down to the beach or up to the town center— but it’s good exercise! Also, we tried to keep the kitchen clean but still got ants (in a damp dish towel). We would definitely stay there again.

I couldn’t falter my stay at Terra Rossa. A small residence set among beautiful gardens with great views. We had a studio overlooking the Isola Bella Island. The patio is perfect sized for an evening unwind. The studio provides everything you need and is cool. The pool area is never too busy. Staff are friendly and helpful.

We had a wonderful 12 days in residence 1, a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment with kitchenette. The view from the balcony was absolutely fabulous! It was a joy to sit out and look over Isola Bella beach! The grounds are beautiful and lush with well maintained gardens and the pool area was perfect! There were plenty of umbrellas and chairs and it was never too busy so was quiet and relaxing, also a gorgeous seaview. The walk down the Isola Bella beach or up to Taormina was definitely a challenge with more than 300 stairs each way but we didnt mind as it allowed us to walk off all the pizza, pasta and gelato we consumed! Overall I highly recommend Terra Rossa as a great place to stay as a base to explore stunning Taormina.

We really enjoyed our stay overall, lovely apartment and beautifully kept gardens / pool area, with a stunning view over Isola Bella. All staff were friendly and helpful. The location worked well for us as a base to explore Taormina and visit Isola Bella beach. Parking was easy, spacious free car park short walk from the residence. We were advised by reception not to drive into Taormina centre, but to use taxi / cable car instead. However, we found it much more convenient to drive. Parking in the centre is not an issue as there are large car parks (e.g. Porta Catania) that charge reasonable prices - cheaper than taxi / cable car for a group.

Steep hill but AMAZING

Genuinely amazing property. Beautiful views everywhere! Amazing owner with communication. Only thing to note is that it’s important to be able to walk up steep hills if staying here. More than worth it.

Nice place to be based. Views to die for. Suites are a little dated, but overall cannot be faulted. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. The Residence Terra Rossa is halfway between The town of Taormina and the beach at Isola Bella which meant very steep walking to either of the places.

We had room 16 (panoramic room) and the views were amazing. This property is mid way between the beach & town, an excellent location. The pool is fantastic, again with a great views of the bay. The only downside was the cable cars not working !! Lots of steps but kept us fit.

This property is ideal for a quiet break. the gardens and views are really remarkable. The area is so quiet. Its probably not so great with children as there are 200 steps to town or same to beach otherwise its taxis which cost a bit. Breakfast was great for the view, pehaps a little pricey for the content. Beers and wines from reception were great value. The nearby beaches are very crowded.The town of Catania is beautiful, less busy at night than daytime. The theatro is splendid. Would come again.

We spent an idyllic week at Residence Terra Rossa in April. We found the landscaped gardens inside the gated property to be delightfully peaceful with beautiful views of the coast below. The manager was extremely helpful with directions and information ahead of our arrival, making our late evening arrival and self check-in very smooth and stress free. The pool was lovely, if a little chilly at this time of year. Breakfasts were excellent, and such a beautiful vista to sit and eat on their terrace. All the staff we met were very friendly and helpful, and language was never a problem for us (being only English speakers). We enjoyed walking down the steps to the beach, and up the steps to the old town. A lot of steps as Taormina is such a steep hillside town, but it meant we did not need to drive around or worry about parking. We were a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens) and would definitely stay here again.

Stunning views of the Middeterenean Sea

We stayed 10 nights in early June and were very happy with out visit. We rented a studio that overlooked the sea and spent every morning and night just enjoying the views from our patio. The rooms were comfortable and clean with a basic kitchenette area to cook some simple meals. The kitchen was not very inspiring as a dining area so we spent all meals on the patio that had a really nice table set. The pool area offers great views of the coastline and the pool is inviting for both children and grown ups. The hotel is located at about 100 meters above sea level and sits right between the Isola Bella beach and Taormina town. Both can be reached by stairs just outside the hotel. Closest restaurants are by the beach but you will find better restaurants in town. Walking to Taormina town was perhaps a bit exhausting since we had a stroller and had to climb quite steep streets to get into town instead of using the stairs. Taormina only have one small grocery store in town so I recommend shopping groceries ahead if you come by car. The hotel offers beer and wine at a decent price. All in all, a really nice visit with stunning views. Good value for money but be prepared to walk a lot of stairs.
