Hotels near Venetico Marina Beach

"The Lido M is an older hotel, would say built in the 50’s, the rooms were a bit tight especially the bathroom, but overall well maintained and clean. The bed was a bit stiff but we slept well with the great sounds of the waves and the cool breezes of the ocean. It’s down at the bottom of the hill so getting to the Funivia or the city center is either a hike or a €20.00 cab ride. The best and most impressive thing about this resort are the people that operate it. Ms. Mona Lisa, Mr. Francesco and the team worked hard to make sure our needs were met, questioned answered, and our stay complete. The staff did everything in the power to locate a piece of lost luggage in Rome, which btw, we were successful in locating once we got back to Rome……(thanks ML for your tireless effort) It’s not a five star like some of the others in Taormina but you could not ask for a better staff. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning one day…"

"Great hotel and attentive staff made our trip comfortable and memorable"

"Stunning hotel, beautiful location and beach. Amazing place to stay in Taormina."

"Staff were amazing. Helpful, friendly, The room was beautiful, the pool lovely. Unfortunately, the water was shut off for all of our last night (no warning) . Still no water in the morning - no shower- no face wash. Staff said it was the city. I think they should have adjusted our bill to somehow compensate for this major inconvenience. "

"Party till 2:00 am. Very noisy in an otherwise nice property"

"I'm used to 3 star hotels. This hotel is truly 4 star. The cleanliness, the staff and our very affordable ocean view suite with spectacular views of Mt. Etna, the Straits of Messina, and sunsets was wonderful. The robes and slippers is a nice perk. The hotel location is a few minutes walk to the high speed ferry to Messina, Sicily and a few minutes walk to the Lido train station. The hotel is convenient to the Lungomare waterfront and the famous Archeological Museum as well as several art galleries and shopping. All less than 10 minutes away by walking. Bocconissimo, the fabulous hotel restaurant, is open for a full buffet breakfast 7-10 am and dinner from 7:30-10 pm with a spectacular menu from delicious pizza to scrumptious pasta dishes, all with no salt and pepper needed, like some restaurants in Italy I've experienced. The downside to this hotel is the surroundings which were devastated by storm Harry in January. The city is working hard to restore the waterfront. However,don't miss this one!!!"

"Location, funicular was excellent."

"Would not hesitate to stay here again. Not directly on the beach, but only a very short walk. I received a lovely warm welcome, and the room was just lovely. It had a very nicely furnished balcony, and a slight view of the ocean. The room and bathroom were extremely clean. I had a small refrigerator, and a room safe. There was also a dryer and the basic bath soaps etc provided. The bed was comfortable, the only thing being that it seems that they use a plastic bed cover to protect their mattresses under their sheets, and that felt a bit uncomfortable, but really glad they use one! The linens were very nice....nice thick bath towels. I did not partake in the breakfasts during my stay, but I did see the buffet, and it looked like they provided a very nice continental breakfast. Everyone there was so friendly and nice. No question or request was left unaddressed. A perfect stay!"

"Buffet was not the best"
