The Hotel Villa Riis is a baroque style hotel set on a cliffside overlooking Taormina Bay, 20 metres from the main pedestrianised avenue Corso Umberto. This four- floor property features 44 air-conditioned guestrooms traditionally decorated in pastel shades with parquet floors, white and gold baroque style furnishings and satin quilts. Rooms extend to balconies facing the bay and have marble bathrooms embellished with mosaics. Amenities include televisions, direct-dial phones, safes, hair dryers and minibars.
Guests can start the day with a buffet breakfast on the terrace overlooking the Bay of Taormina towards Mount Etna. The neoclassical design of the hotel is expressed in the tranquil Baroque hall with its high ceiling, marble floor and antique style furnishings where guests can read a holiday book or just relax. Sun worshippers can bronze on the cliff side terrace and take a dip in the swimming pool or enjoy a cool drink in the bar. Health conscious guests can work out in the fitness room. Sporty guests can enjoy access to the grass tennis courts set next to the swimming pool. The hotel is just 20 metres from the port and a 15 minute walk from the cable car which takes guests down to the beach below.
