Ett himmelskt boende på alla sätt

Ett fantastiskt hotell på en fantastisk plats. Vi ville knappt gå från vår balkong med den underbara utsikten över Etna. Personalen är familjära och mycket trevliga och poolområdet har skön stämning, en fin pool och trevlig bar. Fem minuters promenad till byn med vackra vyer. Bra restaurang i anslutning till hotell med god mat och fin service. Bra och stor frukost men hade vi fått önska något vore det lite bättre lunch.

ALOTTO, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Et ophold i topklasse - virkelig autentisk og hyggeligt familie hotel. Udsigten ubeskrivelig - hyggeligt poolområde og rigtig fin snackbar til overkommelige priser. Gratis shuttlebus til Taormina centrum, som også er et besøg værd. Men I SKAL også besøge den lokale by på bjerget, som både er smuk og hyggelig om aftenen. Service i top alle steder, og ingen der tigger drikkepenge..
Ole Dalsgaard, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I cannot fault the hotel. It’s situated in a beautiful spot above Taormina called CastelMola. The hotel is stunningly rustic with jaw dropping views of Mount Etna and the surrounding mountains. The hotel staff were so helpful, kind and fun. The hotel has a great breakfast and is two mins walk from CastelMola village which has great shops and a few lovely restaurants. I am so glad we stayed here rather in the heart of Taormina. It was just perfect.
Allaina Claire, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Die Lage und die Aussichten in alle Richtungen sind hervorragend. Im angrenzenden Restaurant arbeitet auch sehr hilfreiches Hotelpersonal, vertraut mit lokalen Weinen, das Essen ist ausgezeichnet. Das Hotel ist ideal, wenn man italienisch klassischen Stil liebt. Der Pool ist sauber, die Anlage eignet sich für Hochzeiten oder andere Feiern.

Skønne Castelmola

Et hotel med en udsigt, der ikke findes bedre ret mange steder. Dejligt hotel med en fantastisk pool, og poolområde med bare og cafemad. Storslået. Vores værelse havde en fantastisk udsigt til Etna, og ud over området. Værelset bar præg af, det har været grandiøst for år tilbage, men nu er lettere brugt, men stadigt luksuriøst i dag. Men enkelte ting kunne trænge til en lettere opgradering. Men et fint hotel, men et særdeles serviceminded personale, både i receptionen, restauranten og poolområdet. Stadigt et 5* ophold i særdeles fantastiske omgivelser.
Mark, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Situated in the beautiful village of Castlemola, this comfortable hotel offers unrivalled views of Mount Etna. Well worth getting a room with a balcony and mountain view. Breakfast was good and varied and the staff extremely accommodating. A few of our evening meals were taken at the nearby Caverna restaurant which is also owned by the hotel (with discount available for guests). A great walk down to Taormina was well worth the effort but keep an eye on the bus times as Taxis can be expensive. All in all, an absolutely delightful stay.

Seitliches Einzelzimmer, kleiner Balkon, Sicht etwas eingeschränkt. Preis im oberen Segment. Schöne, etwas in die Jahre gekommene Anlage. Sicht auf Aetna. Zweimal pro Tag Shuttle-Service nach/von Taormina. Wohltuende, abendliche Sommerfrische auf ca 500 m ü Meer.

El hotel está bien, la habitación grande y cómoda con bonitas vistas. La terraza es grande, debería tener tumbonas y no solo mesa y sillas, para que quiero una gran terraza si no? La piscina cierra a las 6:30, demasiado pronto. Desayuno bien, nada espectacular, pero correcto. El personal de servicio muy bien, todos amables y bien dispuestos. Lo único malo es la carretera de llegada/salida a Castellmola, no era consciente!
