Mooi hotel met een prachtig uitzicht maar wel zeer verouderde faciliteiten.
Pros:

Vriendelijk personeel, mooie locatie met prachtig uitzicht.

Cons:

Bed is heel onconfortabel en badkamer enorm verouderd. Ontbijten rond 9u30 zorgt ervoor dat de helft van het ontbijt reeds op is. Personeel begint op dat moment alles op te ruimen en bestek op te ruimen. Ongezellig ontbijten. Over het algemeen heel verouderd hotel voor de prijs die betaald wordt per nacht.

Be ready for steps. Castelmola is well above Taormina.
Pros:

Fantastic views of mount Etna and a good daily breakfast. Staff were very kind and helpful. The restaurant is a bit dated but the food and service are very good.

Cons:

The wifi reception in our 5th floor room was poor. The beds are comfortable but transmit movement very easily.
