I can’t imagine a more beautiful setting than this hotel. Old world charm, ocean view rooms. Exceptional staff who treat you like royalty. It’s a 10 minute walk up hill to town of Taormina by an incredible public park. View of Mount Etna, the sea shore towns, and the sea. I would return in a minute! The breakfast was absolutely delicious. All homemade items, fantastic quiches, bruschetta and they cater to gluten free, dairy free and decaf drinks. My husband and I couldn’t have been happier here. Plus we met lovely fellow travelers there and took the local bus together up to Castlemola for a day’s outing. Recommend taking the Mount Etna tour and godfather tour too.
