The location and staff were excellent. Being close to the main pedestrian street it did have considerable noise at night and the city began "waking up" around 5:30, which shortened our sleep. Breakfast was also pretty good.

I stayed at Hotel Piccolo in Taormina and unfortunately had a very poor experience from start to finish. We were first placed in Room 108, where the air conditioning unit was leaking, the balcony door wouldn’t lock (which felt unsafe), and the shower backed up with visible mold. We also noticed that walking barefoot in the room left our feet completely black — clearly, the floor hadn’t been cleaned properly. We were then moved to Room 401 on the top floor, but the elevator was broken, so we had to carry our luggage up several flights of stairs. That room smelled strongly of sewage, had urine left in the toilet when we arrived, and the shower gurgled loudly for long periods. Again, our feet turned black walking around the room. After showering, my girlfriend developed a sore throat and wheezing, which we believe was caused by poor air quality or mold. Despite raising these issues with the hotel staff, they refused to offer any refund or take responsibility. With no real solution offered, we ended up booking another hotel across the street for the rest of our stay at our own expense. Taormina is beautiful, but this hotel was a major letdown. Poor hygiene, unclean rooms, and a complete lack of support from staff — I would not recommend Hotel Piccolo to anyone.

Hotel was right off the main street so convenient but during dinner service it was very loud with musicians and chatter. Not a big issue as it usually quieted down by 11pm. The lift was broken and we were told at check-in it should be fixed that day. When we checked out 4 days later it was still not functioning and we had seen no one working on it for days. Hotel uses very strongly perfumed cleaners. We had to ask that they not clean our room as the smell was so overpowering it was making us sick. Breakfast was ok. Room is very basic with no storage, and very small, even by European standards.

Our stay here was terrible. The room was not as advertised. The bathroom was dirty with mold inside the shower, the shower did not drain properly so ended up standing in our own waste water. Some of the staff were not very helpful with our concern and basically told us there was nothing they could do. The outdoor pool area was worn out with a broken ladder which is dangerous. The only shining light was Vincenzo at the front desk who was very helpful. I would not recommend staying here.

Plus points: Property is well located in the main town and all staff were friendly, helpful and amazing. Breakfast was ok but plenty of places to go out and get something nearby. Views from the hotel were great as well. Negative points: Pool area especially the decking area needed some repair and maintenance. Room was ok but shower had no pressure and kept running hot and cold while using it. Also shower could have done with a better clean. Lift was out of order for a couple of days. Other point to note: If you like a firm mattress you will sleep well in the beds.

We had a wonderful time at Il Piccolo Giardino - the hotel is in a great location with direct access to the pedestrian streets of beautiful Taormina. The cable car to Mazzaro is also only a 5 walk away. The hotel staff were so lovely and accomodating and provided us with information and recommendations. We enjoyed the simple buffet breakfasts. The rooftop pool is small but offers a nice view and a place to cool off the in the summer heat. If you have a car I would recommend using the valet service, which gave us a small discount on our parking but was also super convenient as the car was only ever a 10 minute wait and we didn’t need to walk/climb the stairs in the heat. We are returning to Taormina next year and would definitely consider staying here again.
