This place was a blessing after a booking from Expedia that I had fell through at the last min. The owner of the property is amazing! When you meet good people you know instantly. The hotel sits in a very good location to town just a short stair walk to the main strip and if you need a taxi that’s also very convenient for the location. The location is very central to everything, and the place is very affordable and clean as well, nice air conditioning, good size TV, the list goes on. Checkout was at ten but we were able to leave the luggage to walk around and get a bite before are train left. We had a discussion with her before she left abd they’re doing more renovations to the property, like adding handicap access, better access to bringing luggage etc. If you’re looking for a great starving hesitate to book here!
Fue muy bien, los dueños súper amables, típica pareja italiana, graciosos, atentos, con chispa. El local bien ubicado, desayuno rico, el estacionamiento 20 euros. En general un muy buen valor x el precio.

Excellent Location in Taormina - Need improvement
The hotel is in an excellent location to access all the important landmarks in Taormina. The hotel shows a lot of wear.The carpets, besides being worn, do require some deep shampooing.
Breakfast was good. The attention form the owners was very good.
Parking is a major issue. You get charged for parking but you park on the street to some assign areas. The street is one way street. You need to park so close to the wall that the driver cannot exit unless he/she jumps over the center console. If you feel that parking when you arrive is thought wait until you have to turn around the car to leave.
Doccia con tenda volante che si appiccica al corpo. Odiosa! Camera con finestra alta a soffitto. In fase di prenotazione Bastava solo mettere la foto con questi servizi per dare la possibilità di scegliere o cambiare. Io non avrei prenotato e avrei pagato volentieri qualcosa in più per avere la camera con una finestra decente e il bagno con box doccia.
Très satisfait de ce séjour. Ultra propre.
Le petit déjeuner est presque parfait, très copieux avec des produits frais. À un prix imbattable.
L'emplacement est excellent, juste au dessus du Corso U.Emmanuele.
Les gérants sont adorables et font tout pour faciliter le séjour. Rien à voir avec l'accueil aseptisé d'une chaîne hôtelière.
Nous avons utilisé le parking de l'hôtel pour notre monospace avec quelques sueurs pour faire demi tour. Fiat 500 recommandée mais Taormina n'est pas faite pour la voiture.

Very minimal commodities but satisfactory. It's a pensioner not a hotel.
La posizione dell'albergo è buona perchè vicinissimo al centro. Tuttavia, una sorpresa inaspettata al momento di pagare l'hotel: il parcheggio che sembrava essere incluso fra i servizi ma è costato 20 euro, in un posto molto scomodo! La colazione, poi, non veniva servita prima delle 8,00: mai sentita questa! Albergo da ristrutturare: camere vecchie con parquet!
In effetti siamo stati alloggiati all'Elios, ma non si tratta affatto di un ripiego, anzi! Il servizio è affabile e disponibilissimo. Le camere semplici e accoglienti. La terrazza per gli ospiti e la posizione dell'hotel sono realmente un punto di forza.
It was amazing. We loved the hotel - the owner and staff were so kind and helpful and Taormina was a fabulous place to visit Wtna and Stromboli from. Such a lovely, vibrant and interesting place.
La chambre attribuée, n'était pas situé dans l'hotel Santa Chiara comme réservé mais dans l'hotel Imperio.
Son seul intérêt est la proximité de la gare routière pour un départ matinal
Environnement bruyant
Near bus stop & supermarket. Accessible for Mount Etna & Aeolian Islands day trips

inizio del nostro tour
Siamo partiti da Taormina per iniziare il nostro tour ed è stato un inizio molto piacevole..l'albergo si trova nella via parallela al principale Corso Umberto in una stradina piccola a fondo cieco. se si arriva con la macchina all'inizio si rimane un po scioccati così come per raggiungere il centro di Taormina, salite e curve di cui non eravamo preparati, ma il proprietario è stato gentilissimo e lasciando a lui le chiavi ci ha parcheggiato la macchina pronti per il ritorno. Che dire della struttura : la camera comodissima con balcone , bagno , wi fi e aria condizionata..la colazione non molto abbondante ma comunque completa.. Se dovessi tornarci lo sceglierei di nuovo..
After booking a reservation at Villa Chiara through Expedia, we tried on several occasions to contact the hotel via phone and email to confirm check-in time. We received no responses and when we showed up for our reservation we were told no reservation existed under our name despite several confirmations from Expedia. We stayed at another hotel in Taormina and would recommend that others do the same since they don't honor reservations.
