Very nice hotel. Receptionist was the nicest person, thank you! Lava rocks were instead of regular beach, but impressive. Old building with antiques around, vintage furniture and so on. Breakfast was excellent, everything you need, blood orange fresh juice was mouth watering, eggs, salami, cheese and of course sweet Italian pastries. Quite place with stunning views!

Maybe the lighting along the road could be a bit better, but of course this is not the responsibility of the hotel itself.

Warm and welcoming hotel, superbly positioned on the rocks overlooking the sea. Interesting antique furniture throughout made this hotel rather special. Plenty of seating areas.

OSF Excellent. There being no service lift, there might be a place for set times for service use as lift unusable on several occasions. Not so minor when guest approaching 80!

lovely hotel with a local feel at the end of a quiet road. our room had a view of the ocean that made everyday perfect! comfortable bed. delicious breakfast (loved the fresh orange juice!).

I think it's time for the hotel to consider updating their bedspreads. Currently, they are polyester quilted numbers harkening from a 1985 style book. They're clean and in good shape, just a little dated. A white cotton duvet cover with some colorful throw pillows might give them a needed update. I think in the high season with full occupancy finding enough parking might be a challenge. Was not an issue for us.

The location is at the very end of a small road. The hotel doesn't have a beach with sand, but does have access to the ocean over the volcanic rocks and the pool is lovely. The sandy beach (Naxos) is approximately a 10-15 min walk. In the off season, when we were there, the bus route starts a little farther away, but the staff told us during the tourist season the bus comes much more closely and will take you along the whole beach and up to Taormina. The hotel is full of neat antiques, but the bathrooms and doors/windows have clearly recently been redone, and are modern. The mattress was memory foam and firm, but comfortable. Like much of Europe, the king is two twins pushed together. The rooms are simple, but functional, very clean and comfortable. Super friendly staff. Bring sturdy beach shoes for walking on the rocks! They provided hours of child entertainment.

Some distance from public bus routes but we had our car ( with free, safe parking at ground level).

Lovely quiet, well maintained pool and great to be able to access the sea easily from the gardens. Evening dinner option was really good quality and good value for money with friendly, helpful staff. Freshly refurbished room with wonderful view. Clean, well kept hotel and gardens

Grand old hotel with amazing details and antique furniture. Nicely renovated bathrooms in Scandinavian style. Nice pool and great access through the rocks to the sea - lovely!

Breakfasts were okay, but the rest of food was overpriced and rather poor (dry pizza, superbitter aperol spritz with tonic, tasteless pasta sauce). Any other place in the town offered better food and drinks than the hotel restaurant and bar.

Location, friendly personel, sea view, comfy beds. Cleanliness, sea water pool, free seabeds. No need to go to the paid beach at all;) No music by the pool - loved the peace and silence. Stayed one day longer than initially planned cause we liked the views and the pool so much:)

Probably due to covid we had to order breakfast over the counter. There was only one man during all our stay and each morning was there huge cue to order. Elevator was old, slow and always busy.

Nice location next to Taormina city. Hotel has very nice pool with chairs and umbrellas and is located next to the sea with access via lava rocks (no chance to sit there). Rooms were nice, clean and spacious, with nice balcony and view to the sea. You can order dinner at the hotel but we preferred to go to restaurants close by. Staff was nice, always helpful

Hotel is clean but all furniture is slightly old and out-dated. As a 4 stars hotels, I expected a bit newer.

Staff is nice and friendly. Air-condition working. Wifi is good.

It is quite old and would need some renovation.

The "beach" in the backgarden is a wonderful place to snorkel! And the pool is nice! Friendly staff and walking distance to restaurants sandy beaches and other stuff.

The view from my room was amazing, the lady at the reception was amazing and so welcoming, I had issue with my card ( Amex wasn’t accepted) and she went beyond and above to fix the issue and overall made me feel so comfortable. I hope she seems this comment ❤️ Also, the tall gentleman that works behind the bar was so nice and cheerful and even explained to me what few words meant in Italian 😅
