Reception staff were very helpful, especially when we made to effort to speak Italian. The room was adequate with a very comfortable bed and pillows. The bathroom was spotlessly clean with a change of towels on a daily basis. |Although our room was situated at the side of the hotel, we still had a lovely view of the beach area. As we like Italian food, we enjoyed most of it but some was not to our taste, ie. cold vegetables. Our waiter was a pleasant and friendly young man. ||The views from the balcony of the hotel are magnificent as it is quite elevated but does have a lift to the main road.||We would recommend this establishment to someone perhaps a little younger than ourselves ( in our 70's) as we found it to be a little too hilly, in particular in the village of Taormina (reached by cable car) where the roads are steep and very busy . Finally, would say that it is well worth a visit.

Looking forward to a weekend away, then probably best avoid this hotel. The highlight of the hotel is the view and location, very close to the cable car to the nice area of the town. Beaches are nice with amazing views, but at the end of the day you have to return to the box room. The website photos only show the nice rooms at the front of the hotel and the beaches they overlook, what it doesn't show you is the naughty corner at the back of the hotel, the dreaded room 310.... As you can see from the photos you have an amazing view of the fire escape, once you have found your way to the secluded corner of the room to open and peer out of the windows. Also you should notice the TV in the room, it's the black box next to the wardrobe, blink and you will miss it. Breakfast might as well be first come first serve, eggs were cold and the bacon was no existence but the staff were very freindly. All being said the views are amazing and makes you want to get out of the box room and explore the amazing town and landscape.
