Enjoyed our location
Pros:

The location was excellent, it was close to the beach and it had a pool. The staff was great, and the facility was clean.

Cons:

The bed and pillows were quite uncomfortable, and an extra blanket would have been nice.

Schrecklich Schrecklich Schrecklich
Pros:

Das Hotel kann man getrost vergessen

Cons:

Zimmer stinkt nach Duftspray. Matratze war schrecklich. Bad fürchterlich und das schlimmste das Frühstück. Billiges hartes Brot, Wurst, Käse (alles wohl für billig Geld erstanden) und Cappuccino nur bei Barzahlung. In Italien nichts schlimmeres erlebt.

Man ist sehr bemüht!!!
Pros:

Die Familie ist sehr bemüht das Hotel in Schwing zu halten. Alle waren sehr freundlich und sympathisch.
Die Lage am Meer ist wunderschön und die Terrasse beim 4Bett Zimmer „Deluxe“ ein Traum

Cons:

Das 4 Bett Zimmer Deluxe hat nur ein richtiges Bett und ein Sofabett. Das Sofabett ist so schlechter Qualität oder einfach alt oder beides. Man spürt tatsächlich jede Feder. Und eine Erwachsene Person kann unmöglich darauf liegen. Wir waren 2 Kinder und 2 Erw. Man hat uns dann noch ein Klappbett für ein Kind gebracht was sehr nett war, meine Mutter ist nach der ersten Nacht aber dennoch ausgezogen. Das Sofabett darf eigentlich nicht als Bett verrechnet werden.

Pros:

Ottimo punto strategico... dall'hotel puoi raggiungere tutto, dalla spiaggia a negozi e tanto altro. La cosa che mi ha colpito di più sono stati i titolari e lo staff,si prendono cura di te e ti trattano come in famiglia .

Superb
Pros:

Great location just across the street from the beach where the sunbeds are the cheapest I've seen in Italy, staff very friendly and give you good information on where to eat and drink inTaormino. Under ground parking for € 10 a day (worth it) . I would definitely return someday, rooms are basic but very clean.

Cons:

Nothing

Nice little hotel with good location!
Pros:

Nice hotel that is run by a family. you feel welcomed and they will help you out if you have questions or if you need any other assistance. The location of the hotel is really good since you live close to the beach and they have a pool if you want to hang around there. There are lots of restaurants and bars close by. But the hotel itself has a nice restaurant that you can try out.

I loved it! my son with decreased mobilty benefited immensely from th e accessabiliyt point of view.
Pros:

The quaint charming family atmosphere. Small hotel, run by family, very accomadating. Willing to arrange for cab rides, away from the madness of Taormina, but close enough for those who may want to go there daily. Excellent seafood restaurant onsite, Listening to the waves of the Ionian sea. from my balcony, or at the continental breakfast was offered daily.

Cons:

Sporatic office hours. No sign on door , stating ''closing hours,'' or " be right back" not a big deal for some. My feedbacK is improve mode of communication.
