My family, friends and I, a total of 11 people stayed at this hotel. It was our last hotel during our trip to Italy this past June. We stayed at two previous hotels, one in Sorrento and one in Rome and after Taormina we stayed in Palermo. All of which were great in their own way. Hotel Villa Riis, to... More

After a long tour of Sicily, Taormina and the Villa Riis was supposed to be our grand finale! Sadly nothing about this place was in the least bit grand. Having booked a room with a sea view, we were initially shown to our room on the ground floor with a stunning view of the car park. Our stay therefore began... More

we spent three nights in Villa Riis and we are more than satisfied. Excellent location right in the centre of Taormina. Service was perfect, rooms clean, furniture a bit used. We will be back soon! More

We had booked the Hotel Bristol and were transferred to the Riis - we were at the end of the season and the hotel was mostly empty.

I took my mum for a weekend break to Taormina and we were very pleasantly surprised with this hotel. The location is excellent (close to Excelsior Palace and San Domenico hotels), the view from the terraces magical and the swimming pool feels set in the clouds. Decor is moorish/baroque villa style and the gardens seem to hang down towards the... More
