Extremely charming, romantic spot. Old-fashioned in a very lovely way!
Pros:

This place is extremely charming and very beautiful. The location is ideal. The staff were so lovely, and there was even a super convenient parking spot available from the hotel, directly in front, for a reasonable price. (Parking in Taormina is scarce, so we did not expect this.) The room was not big, but it was beautifully designed, with a very high ceiling, and a sweet balcony overlooking the sea.

Fantastic service and we can’t wait to go again
Pros:

My partner and I absolutely loved this place - the room, views and most importantly the staff and service were amazing. A real special mention goes to Mario who looked after us there - the kindest person we’ve met on holiday who went above and beyond to make our stay in Taormina something that we will always remember - thank you Mario!

Short break in a beautiful hotel with very attentive hosts.
Pros:

This well run hotel boasts beautiful sea views over the bay. Our bedroom was large, cool and tastefully decorated with a balcony overlooking the sea. The staff were very welcoming, professional and went out of their way to rearrange our booking after cancelled flights into Catania due to volcanic activity.

Cons:
