Built into a cliff in Taormina, the 100-room Eurostars Monte Tauro is a modern hotel pick that guarantees incredible views of the Ionian Sea. Every one of its rooms features a private balcony overlooking the infinity pool and the bay beyond. Other in-room perks include free coffee and tea (Nespressos in the Junior Suites), pillow menus, minibars, and Hierbas de Ibiza toiletries. Most room rates include free breakfast -- an elaborate spread with eggs, bacon, baked goods, fruit, and more—though room-only rates are available. The pool bar serves pizza, hamburgers, gelato, and the like for lunch during the summer, and room service is available throughout the day and night. To stay closer to the water (but farther from the town), choose a beachfront hotel like VOI Grand Hotel Mazzaro Sea Palace.
