The position of the hotel

Stayed in May 2024

Booked a balcony and sea view but view was limited and on had ground floor terrace not balcony, even though we said at booking it was our wedding anniversary trip. Also train noise close to hotel garden and loud started at 4.30am, not communicated to us before booking. Breakfast was hit and miss on choice depending on arrival as was ever replenished. Location good for views but can be tricky walking on road to get to hotel, especially at night.

View from the breakfast terrace

Yes, the train tracks are just beside sea/fence of facility, but it does not go too often and we had no issues with it, cuz our windows were facing street. Perhaps just a bit too expensive.

Cannot get a better location than this (perhaps only 100m down the road, but it is super expensive). In my opinion, you are paying for the location and parking, the rest is what it is. Good and friendly staff, it was clean and room service was good, we got new stuff after just one day. Yes the overall look/condition of the place is outdated, but so are the rest of them in Sicily. Really cool chillout zone on roof, terrace and nice garden with exit to the beach. Breakfast could be good, if staff would pay more attention on what is running out or missing,because both times, we ate clondish eggs and no bacon. Perhaps you need to ask, we did not, not in our culture to ask for things (we are a bit shy). Place is good and you will be able to get to cable car in 10min by foot and the up to Taormina 🤌

I think they could improve the decor of the place

Fabiana was very kind and professional! Also great location if you plan to be close to the beach.

The property was close to free beach, beautiful waters. Shirt walk to cable cars to go to Old Town Taormina.

The double room needed some tlc and a refurbishment but our two teens stayed in it and were perfectly happy. They said the room was quiet and we felt the hotel was safe and secure for them. The sea view we paid for in the apartment was not worth it as the room was on the side of the hotel. Rooms at the front of the hotel had the best view. There was no kettle in the apartment or hotel room.

Staff were welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was also good and well stocked right up until its finish. We had one apartment and one double room, the former was more recently refurbished. Both had well functioning air con. The hotel is very near the beach. If you walk through the two managed lidos you can reach a perfectly good free public beach under the cliff. We are glad we saved some money walking there. Local restaurants weee good and walkable. The cable car gets you into the main town though be prepared for a return to cost you £10 even if you are nine years old 😬

Beach access a bit difficult but not a dealbreaker

Great view, location, breakfast, good WiFi, quick access from highway

Stayed in July 2023

That each day we were woken up by the loud noises from the hallway, I’m not sure if it were the other guests slamming the doors or the cleaning staff doing their jobs. But each morning there were very loud noises like slamming doors, dragging the furniture and people chattering. Also be careful when going in direction to Isola Bella or center, because you have to walk on the road and they are driving like maniacs, if you are not careful you might get hit by a car or motorcycle. If you have a car better to pay the parking from the hotel and not leave it on the street. There is access to the beach, but no beach, you have to go to other private beaches like Lido beach 25 euros for 2 sunbeds and umbrella.

The staff was really nice and friendly. I like that the rooms were tall and it had air conditioning. The rooms were cleaned each day. Breakfast was also good, they had a really good pistachio pie.

Rooms a bit old, sockets literally falling off the wall.

Very nice terrace at breakfast, staff very kind and always available. Not far from cable car that takes you to Taormina town centre,however a bit dangerous to walk in the dark through that road.

The hotel needs a bit of renovation.

Very nice staff, hotel is located near the cable car to taormina, next to the sea.

In comparison to last year the place seemed slightly neglected, plant not trimmed and outside area not attended. no service to the beach like last year.

The location walking distance to the cable car to go to Taormina and isola bella

Stayed in August 2022

Awkward to get to, directions should day of you arrive by bus go 500 m uphill to cable car as it takes lots of time and walking from journey.

Private beach, close (15 minute walk) to cable car to access old town.

Stayed in July 2022

there is no beach it is just some concret with no access to the sea, the room was smelling weird, breakfast was very average

The quality of the breakfast food itself wasn't the best considering it is Sicily, but given the price we paid, I am happy with it.

The bathroom was quite spacious, and the breakfast was amazing on their terrace. The hotel has access to a private entrance to the sea with some sunbeds, perfect for relaxing. The receptionist gave us good recommendations for eating nearby and in Taormina.

Difficult to find as the address did not correspond but the manager called us with additional directions.

Private beach area. Lovely terrace for breakfast. Large, clean, light room at a very good price. Very comfortable bed and quality linen.

The bathroom was small, dark, and had no air circulation it it. After showers the entire room became warm and humid. The parking is very tight, and difficult to maneuver. The drive way down is only large enough for one car. Thankfully we never came face to face with another car, not sure how with the twists and turns we would have been able to get out. We only got to stay one night. The Italian air traffic controllers had gone on strike the day we were supposed to fly in, so our flight from Germany was cancelled. We finally arrived the following late afternoon. It stunk paying for the two nights, and barely getting 15 hours on the property. Wish we could have stayed longer.

A charming, quiet location, surrounded by a beautiful garden. The room had enough room for everything you needed. We were glad to have a refrigerator. Breakfast was served by staff, due to Covid precautions, but had a nice selection. The outside terrace seating for breakfast was lovely. We also enjoyed the location to the water. There wasn’t a beach, but the man made dock helped easily get in and out of the water. The lounge chairs and beach towels were also nice.

Aircon wasn't working, our original room didn't have a real window so the staff kindly upgraded us to a bigger room with a balcony so we could sleep with the windows open. They also gave us a fan wich was amazing. But there are train tracks right next to the hotel so we were constantly woken up during the night by very loud trains. Air con was supposed to be fixed for the next day, wich didn't happen.

The staff was very friendly. They gave us a lot of information about the town. They tried to help us the best they could with the aircon problem. The location of the hotel was really good, the beds were comfortable and breakfast was really nice.

The hotel needs a 'facelift' - looks like a '70s hotel especially the roms. They are large but equipped in an old-fashioned way and pretty humid.

Nice hotel in front of the sea with a beautiful inner court and private beach. Wonderfull terrace to have a very good breakfast and view on the sea.
