Lovely stay! The Etna views from our room and the hotel in general were amazing. Really helpful staff and easy to get into Taormina. Short stroll up the hill and you’re in Castelmola which is also a beautiful little town. Would definitely recommend staying.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff in this facility were very nice and helpful. In particular Davide on the reception desk was very helpful, respectful and nice. The only issue I had with this facility is the parking was a little bit difficult because of the nature of the area which was very hilly.
