Absolutely stunning property. I would highly recommend this hotel. I didn’t want to leave. Views are heaven. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The hotel aesthetic is breathtaking. The walk to town is about 15 minutes downhill, doable plus hotel runs shuttles into town every hour. Stay here, you won’t regret it.

Extremely welcoming & helpful staff. Reception desk are great at recommending excursions and making restaurant bookings. The shuttle bus to and from Taormina is very efficient.
