    The staff is extremely friendly and the rooms are very clean! the location is perfect for a short stay in Taormina! easy access to the main town using the cable car to the top

    The hotel is located next to the isola bella beach just in front of Taormina! amazing location with easy access to local bars and restaurants

    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.
