Great stay, staff very friendly especially Dan who went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. Only complaint is the bus tours, they all decend on the restaurant at once overwhelming the staff and other guests. May be better if they seperates them from the non bus tour guests and had seperate dinner/bfast times.

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 hotel has a great view and pool, nice rooms, great breakfast.
They are right beside the bus terminal and car parking available for a fee. On the down side there was a bad smell every morning and 1 mattress would need to be changed. Forgot to mention it.
But overall very satisfied and would recommend.

Great base to explore Taormina
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 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.

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 one of the most beautiful properties we’d ever had the pleasure to experience. The views are stunning. We were surrounded with abundant fruit trees like mangoes and quince. There were colorful flowers everywhere nestled below stately royal palms. The food and wine were excellent. The breakfast buffet was magnificent - especially the fresh squeezed blood orange juice. The pool and patio dining were relaxing. The nightly relaxing live music was wonderful. We enjoyed the Sicilian banquet music as well. The staff were always going above and beyond and were friendly. We would happily ho back there and heartily recommend.
