Part of a fly drive around Sicily, this hotel has excellent facilities and entertainment. The village is a ten minute walk and not a flat walk but we managed it twice a day.

Beds are so comfortable.
Shirley, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Mould in the room: there’s obviously been a leak somewhere. There was a damp smell also. There was also mould around the AC. Bathroom was very dated. Not sure how the hotel merits a 4 star. Bed had a noticeable ridge on the middle.
Paul, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel is within 10 minutes walk to the centre of Taormina, and a 2 minute walk from the bus terminal, with a direct service to & from Catania Airport from the termina. Once in the town, there is an abundance of shops, bars and options to dine out.
Nathan, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location! Pool and close to everything!

Would come back with no hesitation! Hotel was situated on a hill above the sea but with elevators it was totally assessible. Lovely pool, 2 min walk to the bus station that brings you to the train station for 1.1 euros! 4 minute walk to restaurants and 10 minute flat walk to Messina Gate which is where the beautiful streets with restaurants and shops are located. Just a perfect stay!
Shirley, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The pool is really nice addition, breakfast buffet was outstanding. I didn’t really love the fact that I had to walk a little distance to get to my room, having said that I had a lovely little terrace out front, which was nice.
Andrea, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a large hotel with beautiful grounds and pool. It is definitely an older hotel in need of some work, but we were comfortable. Beds and pillows were comfy. The breakfast was very good…lots of variety. The pool area is lovely but when we were there it was closed often. When asked why, they said it had rained in the morning, but it was lovely and warm in the afternoon. They said they had sent the lifeguard home when it rained. The location is good…about 15 minutes walk to the centre of town and the funicular is around the corner. We couldn’t get parking on site but were sent to a place nearby. Complimentary cookies and a bottle of wine were left in our room. We had a balcony with a nice view.

Amazing hotel location pool and breakfast

Amazing hotel with amazing views. Best pool breakfast above and beyond It’s right near the bus stop so you can actually catch the bus or one euro from the train station which we did not know a very simple location. Easy to walk to the centre. The staff were incredible. Will definitely return
Tracey, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was beautiful and the restaurant on site was great for convenient meals. We were traveling with a 2 year old and found the elevators quite cumbersome because you had to take multiple elevators to get to different areas. Also, didn’t love that there was no shallow end in the pool, only a small ledge around the pool.

Alessandro Is the best bar tender in Italy, hands down. Great location.
anthony, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

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!
Alissa, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel had the perfect views of the city and coast. However, it can use updating. My room was clean but the door was pilling and the furniture had stains/evidence of leaks from years of usage. Service was great and location is convenient.
Xavier, 3-night trip

Nice hotel

Comfortable hotel to stay with a nice ocean view. Room is large and well furnished. Parking is difficult especially with luggages.

The best place to stay
Thomas, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is in a very good location but driving there or renting a car is not a good idea. No where to park, even if you park at hotel's parking paying 20 Euro a day still getting in and out of the area is terrible. By the time we arrived at the hotel and found the hotel entrance it took us 2 hours and very stressful. Hotel is in a very nice location and there is a nearby bus/coach stop if you need excursion. Staff is good but the hotel definitely needs updating. doors, bathroom parts are falling apart. There is too much noise, the noise from the bar/restaurant entertainment being the main contributor. There is no sound insulation so you will hear everything inside next door room and outside. Breakfast was good.

Air condition didn’t work well and was SO NOISY! Bed was AWFUL! No real greeting when arriving and no personality when checking out. Never was asked how our stay was or even a ‘Hope you stay again’ Would never recommend this hotel. The only thing good about it was the location to town and the view from our room
