Rustic Charm and exceptional location.
Pros:

This hotel was in a fantastic location in the center of Taomina. The beautiful shops and restaurants are literally on the doorstep and you can walk in less than 15 minutes to the cable car, the Greek theatre, the public gardens. The peaceful roof terrace takes you away from all the hustle and bustle of the busy streets with views over the sea, Mount Etna and the ancient Greek theatre.

Cons:

The hotel was definitely 'rustic' and traditional. The room was very basic and the air con (like the wifi) came on for a few seconds at a time once or twice an hour there was no way to control it. It says the room comes with a hairdryer but bring your own as it is very hard to use with it being stuck to the wall and blowing out a tiny bit of air !! Despite all this we would go back for the location and views !

Great location from which to explore Taormina and the area. Walking distance to the main shopping precinct and cable car
Pros:

Sea views from the room were breathtaking….breakfast was substantial and covers all tastes. Take your breakfast up to the open air patio for amazing views while eating breakfast.
Secondary exit down to the street was handy.

Cons:

No kettle in room and we were outside the period when aircon was working however this didn’t effect our stay too much

Bra läge men hotellet behöver renovering
Pros:

Läget, och renlighet

Cons:

Väldigt dåligt isolerade rum, man hörde allt från andra rum och korridor på tex. natten vilket resulterar i störd sömn.
Dåligt att de inte informerade att takbaren är stängd innan man besöker.

Pros:

La posizione , pulizia, la camera che ci hanno assegnato era perfetta una vista magnifica di fronte il mare a dx l’Etna e a sx il teatro di Taormina

Cons:

L’unica pecca la spiaggia convenzionata dove abbiamo pagato un ombrellone €30 per avere 4 gru a dx e 1 a sx tutta l’intera giornata con il rumore che possono fare e l’odore dei tubi di scappamento ! Se ci avessero avvisato avremmo optato per un’altra soluzione oppure avremmo avuto la possibilità di scegliere .

Pros:

It was near the main walkway

Cons:

The staff on reception gentleman was very unhelpful asked about where the second subbed was for our room he just shrugged his shoulders. Then asked for him to call us a taxi didn’t get an answer so put the phone down didn’t try again just got no answer from him very poor customer service and the breakfast was poor and the hotel is very dated need good refurbishment, the room was very clean but very noisy due to people going for a smoke very early and banging door

Séjour très agréable
Pros:

Chambre spacieuse, avec balcon et vue mer, hôtel style art nouveau très bien placé tout près de l'artère principale. Le petit-déjeuner est bien garni, et on peut le prendre sur la terrasse extérieure si on veut.

Cons:

Manque un peu d'insonorisation, et il manquait une corbeille poubelle dans la chambre.
Les volets ne se fermaient pas complètement donc un peu de lumière filtrait le matin, mais rien de très gênant.

Pros:

Séjour globalement positif.
L’hôtel est propre et le personnel agréable, ce qui rend l’expérience satisfaisante.
Cependant, l’établissement est assez vétuste et mériterait une rénovation pour offrir davantage de confort et de modernité.
Malgré cela, le séjour s’est bien passé.
