Did not like my stay
Pros:

Cool design

Cons:

Service is so-so. No water in the rooms, only in bar at additional price, no vanity kits, shower caps, or any essentials in bathroom. Very narrow entrance, not good for cars. Located right above most noisy restaurant with live very loud music until 1-2 AM, no way to sleep. Smell of cigarettes in all building

abbiate il coraggio di osare una bella ristrutturazione.
Pros:

posizione fantastica e personale disponibilissimo; Ivan alla reception ci ha aiutato moltissimo anche ad organizzare le nostre cene. La colazione di buon livello anche se proporrei una maggior presenza degli splendidi prodotti siciliani.

Cons:

Struttura un po datata che, se adeguatamente ristrutturata, potrebbe esprimere enormi potenzialità. Consiglio soprattutto di rivedere la possibilità per la clientela di poter avvicinarsi con mezzi propri alla struttura almeno per lo scarico/carico dei bagagli; per persone non proprio atletiche è problematico arrivara a piedi con i bagagli dal parcheggio di porta Catania.

Pros:

Zentral gelegen. Über einige Stufen guter Zugang aus der Fußgängerzone. Unser Zimmer war ganz oben mit einer eigenen Terrasse und einen traumhaften Blick über Taormina und di Gegend.

Cons:

Sehr enge zugeparkte Einfahrt zum Haupteingang. Nach dem Entladen des Autos muss man rückwärts die Einfahrt wieder hinauf. Da muss man schon sicher fahren können. Aber das ist „Bella Italia“ und gehört hier dazu.

Sleepless in Tarminia
Pros:

Short walk to shopping and food. Location excellent.

Cons:

Air conditioning didn't work for the entire stay. Did'nt sleep much. Could not show standing up because water would floor entire floor. I complained to the guy at front desk (guy with beard) and said the AC was water ang that was all it could do. Paid premium price for sleepless nights. Will never book this place again.

Pros:

Lokalizacja oraz taras, na którym można było skonsumować śniadanie, które było typowym włoskim śniadaniem - a więc bardzo dobre. Słodkości smakowite, duży wybór owoców, pieczywa, wędlin.

Cons:

Stosunek ceny do standardu pokoju, lodówka za dodatkową opłatą (brak w pokoju), brak możliwości regulowania klimatyzacji. Brak prywatności na balkonie, który dzielony był z innym pokojem, na dodatek znajdował się pod tarasem, w otoczeniu czterech ścian, w mikro dziedzińcu technicznym. Nie zawsze dało się również wejść do obiektu od strony głównej ulicy, co skutkowało koniecznością zawrócenia i przejściem dookoła

Beautiful stay in Taormina.
Pros:

Location is unreal, rooms are a generous size and the terraces/balconies have the most amazing views.

Cons:

A bar fridge would be good to store cold drinks.
