Excellent location and sublime breakfast!
Pros:

Excellent view and food. There is an elevator which many old Italian hotels do not have. It was very clean and the staff was very helpful and accommodating.

Perfect stay
Pros:

I had the most wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were lovely, as were the rooms and amenities. The location was the highlight! Just quiet enough but still right near the main pedestrian walk and cable car to the beach. Breakfast was also great. Would be back in a heartbeat!

Wonderful - Warm, intelligent and empathetic staff set this hotel apart.
Pros:

Fantastic place to call home in the heart of Taormina. You immediately feel like family and are treated as such. Every staff member is exceptional - takes time to get to you know you - but also knows when to leave you to enjoy your own time. I'd consider it a hidden gem. Genuine 3 Star Italian Hotel, with 10 Star staff and a 10 Star hotel cat.

Cons:

While I found Taormina overrun with loud, naive tourists in many areas (thanks White Lotus) - the hotel is faultless and a haven from the mindless hoards.

Uma estadia para nunca esquecer pela excelência em todos os aspectos
Pros:

Café da manhã excelente e num lugar maravilhoso, com vista para o mar e para a costa da Sicilia e da Calábria. Encantador. A localização do hotel é excelente, próximo de tudo: da estação de ônibus e das atrações turisticas. Equipe de atendimento simpática e prestativa. Muito bem decorado, quarto grande, vista maravilhosa. Nota dez. Recomendo muito e, se voltar a Taormina, será minha escolha, sem duvida nenhuma. Hotel muito charmoso.
