Not worth money

Picture Perfect Hotel With Good Old Fashioned Service
Liked: The location of the property was excellent. The pool was beautiful as was the view from the pool area. Our room was very comfortable and we appreciated the full-length mirror. The included breakfast had heaps of options with espresso and freshly squeezed orange juice which was amazing. The walk to the Corso Umberto and the Roman theatre was not far and we loved exploring on foot from the hotel. We also found the staff very helpful, especially in helping us organise parking.
Disliked: We wished we could have stayed longer to enjoy the facilities more.
Stunning views at great value in Taormina
Liked: Authentic, traditional with stunning views
Disliked: Confusing lifts and limited selection at breakfast
This hotel is amazing! The views, the staff, the breakfast, the pool… everything!
Liked: 1. The hotel is conveniently located right next to the bus station. If you’re taking the bus from Catania’s airport, you’ll get right to the hotel. No extra taxis or long distance walking! 2. Short distance (10min walk) from Porta Messina and Corso Umberto 3. The breakfast was really good! Lots of options and great granita to start the day. 4. We arrived early in the morning and were able to left our luggage in the hotel. 5. The staff is very friendly and polite.
