Located in a panoramic position, not far from the centre of Taormina, the Grand Hotel Miramare is a building that dates back to 1922. The Miramare re-became a hotel and destination for illustrious visitors in 1946 and after a change of ownership in 1992, it was completely refurbished and enlarged in full respect of its original features and surroundings. For those looking for a holiday of relaxation and tranquillity, immersed in flavours, colours and that typical feel of the island in a romantic atmosphere away from the chaos of the town, or for those who want an ideal base from which to explore the historical and architectural beauty of Sicily, the Grand Hotel Miramare is most definitely the right choice for you.

Freshwater swimming pool is immersed in the greenery of the garden in perfect harmony with its surroundings and is reached by a scenic characteristic pathway of 186 steps overlooking the splendid panorama of the Mazzaro bay. If the main fa?ade is a wing of the stage, behind the building the hotel is immersed in a rich garden of typical Mediterranean flowers and trees. The garden is a tranquil and relaxing feature for all who reside here, there thanks to its charming small corners of rest and relaxation that can be found whilst wandering through its pathways. A large free parking area for the hotel guests completes the hospitality.

Rooms are comfortable and well illuminated, fully carpeted and are equipped with air-conditioning (1/6-30/9. Daytime only), hairdryer, mini bar and colour TV with satellite channels. Almost all of them have a sea view with a balcony or terrace, to enjoy in complete relaxation, the splendid panorama that surrounds this structure.

Guests who wish to participate in beach activities or water sports can do so in the bathing establishments of Mazzaro, Isola Bella and Mazzeo which are easily reached by the nearby cable car service or by scenic steps and pathway close by. The Grand Hotel Miramare is the only hotel in Taormina with its own private tennis court, and therefore offers this service free of charge to the hotel guests. The tennis court as for the swimming pool is situated in the garden and is reached by the same scenic pathway.
