I had a charming stay at this hotel! Everywhere is spotlessly clean, and although the rooms are a little dated and small, they are serviceable. The service was very accommodating and nice, always helpful and friendly. The location was perfect, not noisy, and close to the main places. The dining experience was good, offering a variety of options for early starts on day trips. The hotel provides a lovely outdoor terrace and a dining area with a pleasant view of the sea.

My stay at the hotel was overall positive. The rooms, while offering stunning views, required climbing flights of stairs which could be challenging for some. The room itself was small, the shower not very functional, but it was clean, well-lit, had essential amenities like a desk, chairs, AC, and the WiFi worked well.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with everywhere spotlessly clean. It would have been better if the rooms had a little fridge, unlike other places I've stayed in Sicily, and the shower cubicle was a bit tricky to maneuver. The service was exceptional, always friendly, and went above and beyond to help us out, even arranging a last-minute tour when our original booking got canceled. The location was perfect, close to the city arches and bus station, making it convenient yet peaceful. The dining experience was lovely and uncomplicated, offering a good variety of options. The facilities were adequate, catering to our needs well.

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms, though a bit dated and small, were cozy and offered stunning views from the top floor balcony. The lack of an elevator meant a bit of effort going up, but the overall comfort was worth it. The service was top-notch, especially Matteo's warm smile in the breakfast room each morning. The location, just a short walk from the old town, was delightful, although not as central as some other options. The dining experience was basic but delicious, ideal for starting the day off right.

The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist with anything we needed. The location was perfect, just off the main street in Taormina, and the dining experience was superb with breathtaking views. However, some areas like the laundry room were a little dated.

My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms, though lacking a sea view, had a very comfortable private patio with a lovely set of table and chairs. They were spacious, spotlessly clean, and provided a wonderful view from the terrace. The staff went above and beyond, assisting with dinner reservations and offering helpful recommendations. The location was just perfect - not too close to busy areas but within walking distance to major attractions. The dining experience was superb, especially the breakfast spread served in the beautiful garden. Overall, a fantastic experience with great value for money.
