Super beautiful view from the hotel and very nice staff. The hotel room does has thin walls so you may hear your neighbours late at night. The hotel was a convenient distance from the main town which was nice. Great stay overall!

I had a brilliant stay here, with a beautiful room on the fourth floor, that had a great view. The hotel is a great location just next to the bus station, cable car and a short uphill walk to the town which is handy when it’s hot outside. Great location!

This is a reasonably priced resort style hotel with a lovely ambience. The weekly Sicilian Night was fantastic with a feast of Sicilian food and live music. Terrific breakfasts as well as open air terrace dining. So glad we chose to stay here.

Great location. Rooms are a little tired. Staff seem a bit frazzled. Breakfast lovely. Evening meal ok. But lots of other nice places to eat in Taormina. Great base to explore Taormina. Pool nice. Don't bother with the Godfother tour.

The property is well located and the pool area is beautiful. However, our room was old and a bit dingy. It did not match the outside of the hotel! Also, there was music in the lobby (piano player and singer and/or karaoke) until 11pm which was right below our room. It was loud enough to disturb our rest.

The waiter Daniele was absolutely amazing. He went out of his way for us every single breakfast and evening with always a smile on his face. Couldn't recommended the hotel enough, only thing that would have made it better was if water was included in the dinner package, wasn't specific when we booked.
