Wonderful hotel in a stunning location. My husband and I stayed here for part of our honeymoon. It was exactly what we hoped for and envisioned. I really think the photos cannot do this place justice. The view is unmatched and probably one of the best you will find at a hotel in Taormina. The food for breakfast and at the restaurant overlooking the sea is also exquisite. The location is perfect - set into a quiet hillside not too far from city center, but away from major roads and public buildings so it is very quiet with no road noise. The hotel has a shuttle that can take you to city center and pick you up every hour if you reserve in advance. Rooms are comfortable, quiet and air conditioned. Beds were a medium firmness but comfy and cozy. Lastly, the staff is wonderful, so kind, and truly took our experience to another level. We can’t wait to come back someday!!

Stunning location, the restaurant has a terrace that directly overlooks the sea with a breathtaking view. Tables were interspersed with ancient trees. Raffaele and the very knowledgeable and friendly staff welcomed us with a smile making us feel at home. A pleasant background piano music accompanied the dinner creating an intimate and relaxing atmosphere. Top 10 service, elegant and sophisticated table decor. I highly recommend it.
