I haved stayed at this hotel few times in the past. I have witnessed the great change that new owner Orient Express brought to this property. This is now one of the best hotels in Italy! My recent stay in Sant Andrea in May 2012 was somewhat unexpected, as I was supposed to stay at Hotel Metropole. You can read... More

This hotel is right on the beach, so great for people who want access to a private beach and views of the sea. The hotel just went through some renovations and the new updated restaurant is going to be gorgeous! The rooms are fantastic- most of them overlook the sea and usually have terraces. They have a new kids club... More

We went there during part of our honeymoon in august 2011. We were so happy we picked this hotel, and really can't wait to go back. The suite we were in had an amazing view and a large balcony. Two nice bathrooms and the view was breathtaking. ( we had the room on the last floor of the spa/gym building)... More

Just before we travelled to Sicily a friend advised us to change our booking and stay in Taormina itself...we were so glad we didn't heed their advice!! This hotel is on a small private beach with great views of the sea. To be able to walk down to the beach after (or before!) breakfast and swim in the sea was... More

The quality of the rooms varies greatly - we stayed in a suite for two nights (I believe room 318) and it was worth every penny. Other rooms look dark and they do not necessarily offer views. Avoid the overpriced formal restaurant and sit for... More

Our first time in Sicily and we cannot wait to come back to Villa Sant'Andrea. The unique location of the sophisticated hotel combined with the gorgeous grounds made our stay very special. The meals were great as were the professional and friendly staff. Great concierge too. More

We stayed here for 7 nights for our honeymoon. The location is perfect, away from the tourist trap of Taormina but within 10 minutes so the village is easy to visit for it's many restaurants and shops. The hotel itself is luxurious and very comfortable. The staff are fantastic and so attentive to guests needs. They make such an effort... More

We have just returned from twelve enjoyable nights at Villa Sant'Andrea. The situation of the hotel is delightful with the sea shore and pebble beach directly in front of the hotel. The sea shelves very quickly and you are out of your depth within a few metres, perfect for swimming. As an alternative to the beach there is a new... More

We finished our Sicilian holiday with one day/one night at the Villa Sant'Andrea. The level of this service at this hotel is exceptional to the point that you feel as if you have your own staff dedicated to your every need - except for 1 item I write about at the end of this review. The room we had -... More
