They were way understaffed. The facility itself was gorgeous. Finding the parking lot was a bit of a nightmare. My only complaint was how understaffed they were.

The property has a great location and great views. The breakfast was very plentiful and the staff were nice. However our room was a disappointment. Part of the bathroom wall (a 5 foot tall piece of wood fell off) and when I told the staff they acted like that was normal. Also our room was in annex type area with no view and felt like all the rooms there weren’t really part of the hotel or maintained like the rest of the property

Very good overall stay
Nothing bad to say. !! Good size room. Clean. Decent mattress and pillows. Arrival gift bottle of spumanti. But didn’t fit in the mini mini bar. Staff very helpful and friendly. Minor thing to be aware of. If you are at all disabled or unable to carry your bags to reception, which is 80 yards away uphill, you will need help. There are no staff at the drop off point and no buzzer or internal phone to call reception. Only small vehicles can get to the top. It’s a lovely hotel building with lots of character but check where your room is situated or expect a long uphill climb to reception. There are lifts but they do not completely service the whole place. Food is good and plentiful at a decent price. Restaurants in town are generally very good with variety of prices. At reception the staff are very helpful but Carmella is a star performer. Nothing is too much trouble. It’s advertised as a 4 star and still needs a few upgrades to achieve it. Old baths with shower integrated was a bit precarious if you’re at all unstable. The water gets everywhere. Cleaners are very efficient. Overall I give it 3.8 out of 4 stars. Would go back again but I know what to check for. Pool area was never overcrowded and we were there at a busy time.

Fantastic loctaion close to the main attractions...right next to the bus terminal without feeling like it is next to a bus terminal. Beautiful views, lots of options for breakfast. The rooms were a bit dated but clean. I was a bit underwhelmed when i saw our room. But the hotel grew on me. The location and views were excellent

OK stay
Let’s start with the positives, the staff here were really friendly the receptionist was kind and let us check in early which we really appreciated as we had a very long journey before arrival. We have been in Italy for two weeks and this was the most expensive hotel we booked to stay in, which was a superior room with sea view. The location if you are travelling in by the bus is fantastic it’s literally outside the hotel. Moving on to the room itself was a little disappointing. As it was badges as a superior room we expected a little more from it, with the furniture in part looking scuffed/dirty, and holes in the curtains it didn’t really give that superior feeling we had experienced elsewhere. The view was a sea view as promised, we only stayed for one night i would have been staying for more I would have felt more disappointed. In terms of costs for Taormina, its still probably considered cheap. To mention breakfast was plentiful in the morning, with lots of options which was appreciated it’s just the rooms need a little TLC or don’t badge them as superior would be my recommendation
