Pros:

It's a tie between the view and the lovely host, Marcelo. And I do mean a breathtaking view of the coast and the Etna in all of its glory.
The breakfast was also delicious with fresh brioche and a selection of jams, including a local orange jam, blood orange juice and amazing cappuccino . Grazie mille!
Please communicate your arrival if you are driving there, the road access to Castelmola is limited to the residents and there really is not a lot of space to park. We were very fortunate to get one of a few parking spaces right next to the hotel. Alternatively, you can arrive there by a coach from Taormina, which you can also use to commute to and from Taormina for day trips.The return cost was around 6.5 EUR per person and the coaches go quite frequently. There are also quite a few restaurants around the hotel and a few minutes walk to the main square of Castelmola.
If you are feeling a bit more adventurous, there is also a walk along the side of the mountain connecting Castelmola and Taormina. I would not recommend taking the path in the dark, though!

Cons:

The hotel is a bit on the older side and a lot of things squeak and creek, but work just fine. At least in our hotel room, there was no mini fridge, but this most definitely did not prevent us from having a great experience!

Sehr zu empfehlen, wenn man keinen großartigen Luxus braucht, die Lage des Hotels und des Ortes!
Pros:

Die Lage ist echt phantastisch. Der Ort ist tagsüber touristisch aufgrund der Lage, aber früh und abends ist es recht ruhig (Oktober). Das Hotel ist aus den 60er/70er Jahren, aber sehr sauber, ordentlich. Man kann direkt am Hotel kostenfrei parken.

Cons:

Wir haben uns sehr schnell an das italienisch reduzierte Frühstück gewöhnt.

Pros:

La splendide vue sur l'Etna et le petit déjeuner en terrasse en profitant de la vue. La place de parking réservée pour nous dans la rue,au pied de l'hôtel. L'accueil du personnel . Le jus d'orange frais du petit-déjeuner

Cons:

La façade de l'hôtel n'est pas géniale. Le matelas n'est pas confortable. L'ensemble de l'hôtel est un peu vieillot.

Pros:

Hotel ni luksuzen, je rustikalen in je v kombinaciji z razgledom popolno doživetje na Siciliji. Ob prihodu se mi ke zdelo da bi lahko par stvari nadgradili vendar pa se je moje mnenje skozi bivanje spremenilo. Hotel ne more biti boljši in je najboljši tak kot je. Ne spreminjajte ničesar. Družina vodi hotel s srcem. Sobe so ČISTE. V hotel smo se zaljubili, če pridemo še kdaj na Sicilijo se bomo vrnili. Najboljša Siciljanska izkušnja skupaj s prelepo vasico Castelmola.

Cons:

Everything was fine

Pros:

Die Aussicht auf den Ätna und die Küste ist wundervoll. Bereits mit dem Aufstehen vom Zimmer aus und später beim Frühstück auf der Terrasse beginnt der Tag mit einem sagenhaften Ausblick. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Das Zimmer hat seine beste Zeit längst hinter sich. Das ist sehr schade. Aber preislich ist das ok.

Spectacular Views and experience
Pros:

Lovely family run hotel with incredible views. Set right at the top of the hill, it is spectacular. We loved having breakfast on the terrace and the customer service was great. Rooms were large, clean and comfortable. Restaurants available in walking distance, and getting a taxi (or driving) down to Taormina or Giardini Naxos was easy.

Cons:

Hotel was amazing but beware that the town is set on a very steep hill which may be challenging for those with additional mobility needs.
Rooms are basic - and plumbing is a little dated

Pros:

Magical location with unbeatable views of Mount Etna and the coastline. Authentic charm of Castelmola and its genuine local atmosphere. Family-run hotel with warm, kind, and genuinely hospitable owners. Peaceful environment with no unnecessary distractions (no televisions). Nostalgic 70s-80s charm with simplicity and character. Emphasis on authenticity, calm, and human connection over luxury. Overall fantastic, memorable stay that inspired gratitude and a wish to return.

Cons:

Minor imperfections due to the hotel’s age.
