Hotel Villa Bianca Resort

Albergo tradizionale nominalmente di 4* . Stanza oiccola vista mare con un bel terrazzo. La colazjone si lascia mangiare, bevande calde con macchinetta, mail personale di sala e' scostante e sgarbato

4* sulla carta,ma ne vale meno. Personale poco affabile. Si son permessi di redarguirmi perche' mi sino presentato due volte in sala colazione perche' mi era venuta viglia di una cioccolata calda. Deprimente

房間比較舊，好在景色宜人。

Близкое расположение к 2 пляжам и канатной дороги

Hotel villa bianca resort è un hotel per tutti, famiglie, amici, coppie, che non punta alla qualità, all'estetica, ma alle funzioni essenziali. Sono stato in questo hotel anche in passato e l'ho trovato perfetto per le mie esigenze. La posizione credo sia tra le più strategiche in assoluto a taormina, per chi vuole raggiungere rapidamente Isola bella o andare semplicemente al mare. C'è la funicolare proprio fuori all'hotel, così come le fermate del pulman (ci manca poco che stanno dentro l'hotel, per farvi capire quanto sono vicine) Le stanze sono arredate come 30 anni fa, sono minimali, tutt'altro che perfette, l'usura c'è ma questi difetti lasciano il tempo che trovano. Per me le stanze sono confortevoli il giusto. Impianto di climitizzazione molto efficiente e silenzioso (cosa non da sottovalutare per una struttura datata). A parte questo amo di questo hotel la familiarità, la semplicità delle persone che ci lavorano, l'ottimo bar che diventa anche ristorante. La colazione non è come da hotel di livelli superiori ma c'è tutto quello che serve per accontentare italiani e stranieri. Ogni tanto c'è tra i dolci qualche chicca, come i mini babà di una bontà assurda. Cornetti sempre caldi e pure questi di una bontà superiore. Sceglierei ancora questo hotel? Sì, senza dubbio, per il buon rapporto qualità prezzo e per tutto quello che ho descritto sopra.

Nice basic old fashioned hotel but it was lovely. What makes this hotel is the staff - very friendly and service was great. Room was basic but clean and comfortable with great maid service. Great location at the bottom of the cable lift up to the centre of Taormina and nice beach. Breakfast good as was the restaurant. Would be more than happy to stay at this hotel again as very reasonably priced.

This hotel is at Taormina Mare - by the sea - and seems very 19th centuryish. The holiday blurb did not say that to get to Taormina requires a cable car journey at 10 Euros return each time, or that it is 88 steps down to the beach and then back again - for an 84 year old. The room, although kept clean with a very good view from a balcony over the sea, was about the smallest and most basic room I have ever holidayed in. Breakfast, the poorest I have ever been offered. The only cooked offering was scrambled egg or hard-boiled eggs and not even any toast - every day. Evening meal - terrible. For example, sea bream came as a whole fish including head and tail and opened up flat with the bones, and it was cold. Meagre vegetables were served with all meals and they were also always quite cold. Only ever only one dessert - a creamy type cake slice. First time the rep appeared was on Wednesday evening. As I arrived on Sunday evening how was I supposed to book trips for the Monday and tuesday when he was not contactable?

I find some of these reviews very puzzling.. I wonder if our cold reception and the generally unhelpful attitude at reception may be related to a dislike of the company we travelled with, because the disparity in the reviews is odd. The room was adequate, with a fridge, aircon and very small bathroom, tiny shower. The small balcony hung over a very busy, and continuously noisy main road, and we soon started noticing the fumes. Breakfast was very underwhelming, mainly bread processed cheese and salami, with scrambled or hard boiled eggs ( but not a tomato in sight) small apples or pears, generic cereal, nice croissants , and one day it ran out at 9 a m….though by 9.. 15 a few bits and pieces began to trickle in. The coffee was terrible…a Nescafé machine which presumably uses powdered everything….in Italy!? I would have complained had I been in UK. Beach and courtesy bus not available because this shuts 30/09 …..other beaches around but charging from 10 to 30 Euros per cramped sunbed m with very little space left as “for the public” .However, the sea was beautifully clear and it is a very pretty coastline. We were offered a change of room eventually when one became available, and finally we were overcharged for the local tourist tax.

Can’t fault the view from our room, but the room itself was small and very tired. The bathroom was tiny and needed refurbishing also. Breakfast was basic with only pineapple as a juice. The only hot food was scrambled eggs. Three cereals to chose from, apples, processed cheese and cooked meat. Not the best! The outside bar was ok. There is no Swimming pool or sun loungers even on the terrace. There is a hotel down the road if you want to use a pool but once again, the hotel pool is dated with a cracked tile in the middle of it. There are only 8 sun loungers around it. You could not fit any more there. Thete is also a beach club pool you can use costs €12 each. This is in need of some care. Beware that there is a train track the runs between the pool and private beach with trains going by. The day we went the beach was closed. The hotel classes themselves as 4*. Therefore you have to pay 4* tourist tax when you leave (cash only!). I wouldn’t class it 4*.
