First of all, excellent location. A few steps away from the Main Street and main attractions of Taormina. Second of all, the room was amazing, with an amazing view, clean, even the small detail of the light up bathroom window was on point to the whole style of a well kept villa in a modern customized way, respecting all its glory and beauty of the past days. A beautiful garden and a beautiful terrazza for breakfast. The breakfast even though it was charged extra, everything was fresh and there were many options. Also, with extra charge was the private parking, but we arrived with the car directly to the hotel, and we were feeling safe as to where we were leaving our car. The stuff was also very helpful, with everything about the hotel but also with restaurant recommendations and general information about Taormina. Last but definitely not least, our favourite member of the stuff was Marco. Always with the smile, he was the one to welcome us and to say goodbye to us, to help us carry our luggage in and out of the hotel, and he is also a barman, a waiter and always around to help. He reminded it is of the lobby boy from the movie “The Grand Budapest Hotel” and we mean it in the most respectful way possible, the one that anticipated the client’s needs. Thank you for the experience.

The towels were not very comfortable and it needs to be replaced.

The Bell man received us with a great smile and was very helpful and polite. The receptionist was very professional and polite also. The rooms were big and comfortable and the view was amazing.

Absolutely amazing hotel, everything was perfect - the view, the facilities, sleeping comfort, the service etc. We had an amazing sea view and to wake up to it is something to remember for a long time. Breakfast was also fantastic on the sea view terrace. Smiling and helpful staff, simply perfect.

There is nothing we didn’t like about the hotel. Old Taormina is gone however. The local pub (now gone) which we visited twenty years ago that was owned by a family that remembered how much American soldiers saved the island in World War II and loved Americans, managed to speak enough English to be able to prepare a great Manhatten and play Frank Sinatra songs. Because I’m an American that speaks Italian, we stopped at the old market and visited with the children of the parents who owned a beautiful laced tablecloth store that twenty years ago treated us to a wonderful pranzo before we purchased a hand crafted lace tablecloth. Those days are gone forever.

The staff is extraordinary. The location is central to the heart of what I would call “Main Street”. Hadn’t been to Taormina in twenty years and didn’t’ realize that Taormina has turned into an overcrowded shopping mall. In spite of the criticism, the hotel is a five star destination. Claudia, the reception manager, who acts as the concierge as well, is the most attentive person in the hotel industry. We were greeted with a glass of champagne and the room was breathtaking. If you purchase the breakfast package it is fabalous. If we were staying more than two nights, we could have experienced really great excursions to the beach down below as well as tours of Mt. Etna.

The wall must be a thin. I could hear the voices at night time

The location is good & they have a private parking which needs to pay the hotel but it's worth it for this location. However in the busy time I'm not sure how the hotel handle it with their limited parking space.

Beautiful historic building in a perfect location. Just one minute away from the centre of Corso Umberto, yet having the peace and views of the sea and Mount Etna. The delightful garden at the back of the property gives a tranquil and green space with shady spots between the hotel and entering the city. The sea-facing rooms and the breakfast terrace have some of the best views in the world!

Getting there can be tricky, so it is best to call ahead if you are driving so the staff can help park the vehicle. But they do all the hard work by grabbing your bags, taking them up the stairs, and parking your car for you.

This place exceeded my expectations, mostly due to the wonderful staff there. The location was excellent! The breakfast was great! And I had the most beautiful view from my room. When I got lost getting to the hotel, the front desk clerk stayed on the phone with me and guided me the whole way. The staff was really the best part of the hotel. I plan on going back soon!
