A vintage Hotel with an artistic soul
Pros:

The staff was very polite and always ready to help and share very useful information. The location of the hotel is perfect, 2 min from the main street in the old town of Taormina. The rooftop bar had a stunning view of the city and the ancient theater.

Cons:

The way how we can switch off the air conditioning system.

Pros:

Una terrassa xulíssima des d'on veure tota la ciutat i el volcà. L'habitació que em van donar molt senzilla i dos llits enlloc d'un, però confortable. Soroll de passadissos des de l'habitació.

Cons:

Dutxa super petita, llits separats, habitació sense terrassa ni vistes.

Un hôtel idéalement situé pour découvrir la ville avec un très bon rapport qualité/prix
Pros:

Un accueil tardif (très tardif même du fait de l’éruption de l’Etna) très chaleureux et agréable par le jeune homme de la réception.
Un petit balcon pour profiter de l’atmosphère de la ville et une position idéale pour profiter de la ville. Roof top très sympa également !

Cons:

Petit déjeuner correct mais pas incroyable (notamment les jus extrêmement chimiques et acides), petite modernisation des salles de bain à prévoir peut-être ? mais sinon RAS

Chiaro scuro
Pros:

Vicinissimo al centro.

Cons:

L'arredamento della camera da rinnovare, camera troppo piccola, ci si muoveva a malapena in due, mancanza del bidet e del frigobar, hotel è rimasto fermo agli anni settanta. Rapporto qualità prezzo non soddisfacente.
