Comfortable and pleasant stay.
Pros:

Comfortable, clean, hospitable. Excellent,ample, various breakfast selection. Surrounded by beautiful paintings, ceramics, terracotta and ironwork in all the public areas- all work created by one man, Giuseppe Cuscona, the artisan who owned the hotel years ago. Location high above the main avenue, Corso Umberto, with beautiful views.

Cons:

Hillside location makes it accessible, but with suitcases - only by taxi. It is walkable but is a steep 30 steps up from Corso Umberto.

Pros:

Vänlig personal. Rent och välstädat. Ganska bra läge i byn.

Cons:

Frukostbuffen måttligt bra. Saknade färskpressad apelsinjuice i apelsinernas förlovade land. Äggen var grönkokta. Ingen möjlighet att koka kaffe på rummet.

Eldre hotell med sjarm og utsikt
Pros:

Super beliggenhet i høyden med en fantastisk utsikt over Taormina og sjøen.
Du har restauranter, butikker og sentrumsgatene i umiddelbar nærhet, og kan enkelt nå disse via sjarmerende trapper nedover. Det er ikke mer enn et par minutter å gå. Hotellet har en takterrasse med bar, åpen fra 16-23 i sesongen, hvor utsikten er om mulig enda flottere. Kort vei til trapper som fører opp til kirken på toppen av fjellet over hotellet. En strabasiøs tur ned mange trinn, men hvilken opplevelse! Anbefales virkelig!
Hotellet har en imponerende samling kunst og keramik, som går igjen over alle etasjer. Frokosten var god, og hadde det vi vanligvis spiser. Brød,pålegg, ost, syltetøy og kokte egg. Veldig gode croissant, youghurt og frukt.
Terrassen vi hadde var stor og sør vendt, med flott utsikt til Etna! De fleste terrassene har flott utsikt. Betjening var smilende og oppmerksomme.

Cons:

Hotellet har kanskje sett sine beste dager, er litt slitt men har sin sjarm.
Badet vi hadde var litt trangt, dusjhode løst. Sengen litt hard, og det lille kjøleskapet på rommet var ikke så kaldt.
Aircondition kunne ikke justeres, enten av eller på. Vår stod på varme, så vi skrudde den av. Rommet var for varmt, vi måtte sove med åpen dør.
Restaurant like nedenfor spiller musikk til 24.00, men egentlig ganske fin musikk og dyktig musiker.

Meget bra hotell.
Pros:

Frokosten var helt grei. Det samme hver dag, men likevel helt ok. Savnet ikke noe.
Utsikten er fabelaktig. Panoramautsikt. Stor balkong med stoler og solsenger.
Renhold på rommet hver dag. Rikelig med håndklær.
Hotellet ligger like over hovedgata så det var kort vei til shopping og restauranter.
Taormina er en vakker by med sjarmerende smug utenfor og nedenfor hovedgata.

Pros:

Beligenheten var bra.

Cons:

Det var dårlig lukt på badet, nevnte det til resepsjonisten men ikke noe skjedde.
Generelt har dette hotellet passert sin storhetstid.

Pros:

Alojamiento impecable, todo muy lindo y de buen gusto, nuevo.

Cons:

La ubicación está a unos 20 minutos del barrio de Trastevere, el que se conoce como tal. De todas formas igual nos gustó porque tenía transporte publico muy accesible para ir a todas partes.
