Metropole Maison d'Hôtes Taormina

Just as they are unlikely to ever forget the extraordinary beauty of Taormina, guests will remember their stay at the Metropole Maison d'Hôtes long after they have departed from this stunning Sicilian hotel, a unique establishment which offers an enticing combination of the island's traditional architecture, contemporary Italian design and world class hospitality.

Metropole Maison d' Hôtes occupies a splendid 18th century palazzo, in the center of Taormina. Perched on the rocks almost directly above the sea, the hotel enjoys breathtaking views of the Bay of Taormina. The interiors are equally impressive, featuring a fascinating amalgamation of antique elements and classic designer pieces. Honeymooners will be spoilt for choice, having to decide between one of the hotel's split level Junior Suites overlooking the water or the "Intimate Terrace Spa" with open air hydromassage pool.

A small privé is available for working lunches and intimate business meetings.
