I loved this place! The hotel is right in the heart of Taormina, making it easy to walk everywhere. It is a very charming and cute property. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. The room was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect for exploring the town, restaurants, and shops. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Taormina.

The hotel was in a great location with cool art throughout it. The view was amazing, the breakfast good, and the staff helpful. For an extra fee, they have valet parking with a private company that makes it easy to drop luggage at the hotel. I will warn that there is a restaurant next to the hotel that had loud (bad) live music and crowd until very late. You may want to check if they have a room in a quieter part of the hotel.

CENTRAL AC. The AC was horrendous here as the system is on a central system. Our room was extremely hot and the speed is only on one setting. The staff was extremely welcoming and great attending us. The room was big and very nice. Hotel was about a 2min walk from the local center. Only complaint was the AC as it gets hot inside the hotel rooms and Taormina.

Our hotel room was unacceptable because the toilet was broken, which meant we couldn’t even stay in the room when we arrived. We received no refund and no understanding from the staff, who were rude and unhelpful throughout the situation. We are very disappointed with our experience and would not recommend this hotel.
