    The view from my balcony was fabulous! The bathroom was very small though especially the shower, like a 2x2 foot shower, could barely move in there! Interesting…

    Wonderful Lovation right on the Beach opposite Isola Bell, amazing sunrises. Views to die for. Old World charm and service. Special thank you to Giuseppe for making our stay such a pleasone, nothing for him was too much effort and trouble. Guiseppe could teach our Australian accommodation Hotels a thing or two (Australian standards need to lift their game for the prices they’re charging) Breakfast was exceptional.

    Bathroom has little or no natural light and is a bit tired. That's it

    Had a 2nd floor room with balcony. With the doors open I could lay on the bed and just about see the sea! Lovely to have the view of Isola Bella from the room. Staff were all very nice and the breakfast was very nice apart from the wasps! We ate outside most mornings that's why. Room is cleaned every day with new towels etc.

    The bathroom is a little bit small, you can't really turn around in the shower, but at least you had your own and there was one. The bed was a one person bed, because of course I was on my own. Unfortunately it was quite small and I did hit the wall and nightstand a few times🥴

    Everything was in the apartment and It looked clean. Nice little balcony for yourself with an amazing view over the ocean and Isola Bella. A busstop right in front of the hotel that takes you to the station. The check in was great. The worker told me how to get into the town of Taormina, explained very well where I could find the centre and was very polite.

    The furniture in the room was very old. Also, renovations in the Bathroom are needed.

    We had a room with the view on Isola Bella which was amazing. Also, the service on the reception was very friendly and very helpful and we got many insights about Taormina city.

    The rooms were on the small side but adequate. Having paper cups rather than crockery in the room for drinks was poor!

    Excellent staff- they opened up breakfast service 30 mins early to accommodate an excursion we had booked.

    The room was small but it does correspond to 11 square meters (including bathroom) promised during the booking. Specially the bathroom was very small. No problem for me, but for somebody overweight, it may be difficult to enter the shower.

    A wonderful view on Isola Bella and the sea. The staff was very friendly and useful. I was happy to have a small fridge, a kettle and a balcony.

    The shower was really tiny and it was very difficult to move around in it. In fact, the only way you could take a shower was to open the side curtain/door.

    The view from my balcony was absolutely spectacular!!! The hotel is showing its age but everything is very clean, the breakfast was good and plentiful and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the pool.

    The hotel itself needs a facelift i.e. some paint and a few repairs - the pool area is lovely, however the pool itself needs maintenance. The booking included breakfast however it was actually very sparse and basic.

    With three of us sharing a room , we were allocated a very spacious room that also had a very large terrace with wonderful views of Isola Bella. The location was great, very close to the cable car that takes you to the main corso in Taormina and a short walk to Isola Bella.
