Taormina is a perfect destination for romance: it's sun-drenched and dotted with historic architecture, and its clifftop spot means that almost every hotel room has an incredible view. The city is at its most glamorously romantic in the summer, when clear days offer views up and down the coastline of Sicily, and across the bay to Mount Etna — visitors come from far and wide to stroll the medieval main thoroughfare, the Corso Umbertro I, and explore the boutique-lined streets; admire the galleries; imbibe in the lively cafes, bars and bistros, and fine dining restaurants; and relax on the scoops of sandy beach. There are so many romantic accommodation options in Taormina that it can be hard to choose. Special occasion and five star hotels include Taormina’s converted palazzo and mansions, however there's also a charming collection of elegant boutique hotels, charmingly traditional hotels, bijou B&Bs and guesthouses, and contemporary luxury beach resorts.
