Al Duomo Rooms & Flats

The property couldn’t have been in a more perfect area to explore Taormina. Every thing is sent to you before you get there so it’s a very easy check in . The property is on the square next to the church at the top end of Costa Umberto so ask any taxi from the train station they drop you off 200m and they tell you how to get to it . The apartment its self is very well decorated and kept really clean by the cleaners who come in everyday . Tea coffee is available in the rooms they also have a refrigerator in the room and air conditioning which is very good on a hot day .

I stayed at Al Duomo Rooms and Flags in Taormina and really enjoyed the experience overall. The location is unbeatable—just steps from the main square—yet tucked away enough to feel private. The code entry made check-in super easy, and the room had a charming little balcony, perfect for enjoying the atmosphere. You are quite close to the neighbors, so you might catch a whiff of their cooking, but it actually added a bit of local charm. The only downside was that the hot water ran out on the day of departure, but otherwise, everything was comfortable and as expected. A great option for a central stay in Taormina!

The apartment is well located, on the 2nd to 3rd flight of stairs depending on how you count :), Very tidy and cute. Loved the white/blue accents. Common areas smelled amazing and instructions were quite clear.

Location was one street away from the Duomo, quiet enough to hear street noise, not noisy enough to be disturbed. Room was spacious and airy, the balcony was great for airing out wet items, which dried very quickly in the summer heat. Bed was firm but not hard, toilet was clean and well maintained. Hallway lights were also highlighted, so you wouldn't step out into a dark corridor and have to fumble for lights. Staff communicated information well, including payment and information of how to get to the room. Instructions given very clearly, including pin code for doors. Coffee machine and pods were provided, but not the best quality unless desperate, better to walk out to the bars for a handmade.

For us, this property was perfectly located at one end of Taormina's main pedestrian drag yet accessible by car, so we could drop our bags off and park the car at the nearest municipal parking lot. From our family room we could get a partial view of Etna's smoking crater and the double room (which our group also booked) had a spacious veranda where we could all hang out together. The whole experience is no-frills: you let yourself in and lug your bags upstairs. The rooms are very spacious, the beds are comfy, the bathrooms are new and the toiletries are good. As in other hotels we stayed in Sicily, we got a capsule espresso machine (and some tea bags) which were very good. You don't get breakfast as the property is not staffed but there are lots of pastry shops and cafes a stone's throw in central Taormina.
