The staff was AMAZING. WE traveled to Taormina from AZ for my sister's wedding and the locati of the ceremony fell through. The staff allowed us to at the last minute move the ceremony to the balcony over looking the ocean and it was GORGEOUS. They helped set up, added beautiful decor, and even serenaded the bride and groom in... More

We stayed here for 6 nights in April 2012 and stayed in a sea view room . We could see Etna (to the left). We were a little disappointed with the breakfast juice as they could've been freshly-squeezed but breakfast selection was extensive and tasty. The conservatory style 'breakfast room'- was open and spacious. Staff very friendly and helpful. More

Stayed here for 2 nights in April 2012 and was delighted with the room (small but adequate and most important, spotless). Location just outside the town and I was prepared for a long trek into town, judging by previous reviews, but was pleasantly surprised. Ok, steps were steep, but not too many of them. Views were stunning and hotel staff... More

We were disapponted in our room on first entering--very spartan. The hotel is very clean and the patios and landscaping are absolutely beautiful. We stayed in an ocean view room and it was well worth the additional $$ as the view is incredible. It is a family run hotel and we thought that the operators could have been a little... More

This olde worlde hotel is within easy walking distance of the town (if you are reasonably fit) but far enough out to have a lovely peaceful atmosphere with amazing outlook towards Etna and the sea. Try the once a week dinner with music as a special treat. The terraces are especially nice just to sunbathe or relax. More

We were there over Christmas and wanted a place where we could just "be" - not a lot of touring while things were closed and trains were full of Sicilian travelers heading home for the holidays. This hotel was exactly what we hoped it would be. The rooms were plain and even a bit drab, but it didn't matter at... More

The hotel is located on the hillside approx 10 minutes walk below the Taormina town site and a 20+ minute walk above the beach area. Most importantly this hotel is not suitable for handicapped individuals. The hotel doesn't have an elevator, it's built on 4 or 5 levels with many many steps and the access from the hotel to Taormina... More

A nice hotel with fantastic views. Staff were helpful and friendly. Good breakfast; rooms basic but clean and air conditioning superb. Shame it doesn't have a pool - didn't like the long treck to the beach in 40 degrees - very hectic and often full (or reserved for 5* hotel guests) in high season. The service provided to the Lido...

I would say that most, if not all, of the room have lovely views out to sea or over to Mount Etna. It is a family run hotel and the staff are helpful and pleasant. The beds tend to be very hard but they happily changed one of our group who could not cope. There are lovely areas to sit... More
