Villa Riis is perfectly located at the top of the Corso Umberto, a 2 minute walk to the main street. I booked a single and was pleasantly surprised to be given a rather large double on the top floor, what I imagine to be one of the better rooms, I suspect this was because they were very quiet as June...

We have returned from a 5 night stay here and overall thought this hotel ticked the main boxes. It was close to the centre, was quiet and had great views. it also had a decent sized pool and tennis court. The hotel is dated and it does feel like you have gone back in time but we kind of liked... More

We stayed 3 days at Villa Riis, I don't know why they called it "Hotel" and more.. 4 stars!!!! maybe this is a four stars just for the owner and the staff and that's all! We arrived in the afternoon and there was a girl that coludn't speak english, very bad! She can do nothing. anywhere.. We took the room... More

I stayed at the Villa Riis Hotel for 3 days, and I really enjoyed. I think the hotel is beautiful and particular, since It was an old palace and the rooms and suites all renovated, have the neoclasic style, Barocco .., I love it.. Then the position is very good, 10 mt from the city centre and the view from... More

Villa Riis is a preciuous Hotel, good location and fashioned old style. They have to improve breakfast, it's not good at all and cleaning in the rooms. Nice Sara!! She's a really beautiful person that helps you for everything you ask, she speak perfect english, she helped us in the excursions too cause she speaks arabic and we thank her... More

This hotel is not worthy of its stylish surroundings. The hotel is old and dirty. The bedrooms are dated without modern furniture. The hot water is switched off at night so that it is impossible to have a hot shower after a late evening out. The cost of this hotel would be comparable to the cost of a five star... More

This hotel is a two star at the best in its current condition and under its current management but the prices do not reflect that. The staffs are friendly but not professional or accommodating to the standard needs of a traveller. The rooms are dated and poorly maintained, shabby not chic, scuffed wall paper, broken furniture and exposed wiring. There... More

This is one of the most awful hotels in Taormina. Though it has a great location and great potential the managment have clearly abandoned any attempt at delivering a qualitative service to guests and are only interested in extracting as much money from guests as possible while providing the the bare minimum in service. This hotel should not be star... More
