I had a mixed experience staying at this hotel. On the positive side, the rooms were maintained to a high standard and had a terrace offering stunning views of Taormina Bay with Mount Etna in the background. However, I had to endure noise throughout the day without much consideration for the guests.

The hotel has good facilities, but it fell short in terms of service quality and noise levels. The terrace view and central location were definite highlights, but the noise disturbance affected the overall experience negatively.

The hotel offers stunning sea views and overlooks the hills beneath Gardini Nexos and Mount Etna. The rooms are spacious with a furnished balcony facing the beautiful gardens. The service was professional and helpful, but some areas need refurbishment. The location is exceptional, perched high on a mountain with sensational views and easy access to the town. The dining experience is excellent with a wide selection of food available.

The hotel offered small, tired-looking rooms, albeit with excellent views of Mount Etna. The staff were friendly and eager to please, although some service options were limited. The location was superb, minutes away from the bustling center of Taormina. The dining experience was average, needing a bit more variety. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives to consider.

The hotel has a magnificent Belle Époque design with high ceilings but the room was smaller than expected, making movement difficult due to the queen bed and folding roll-out twin. The service was attentive and friendly, going out of their way to assist, even holding my passport for hours after check-in. The location is perfect for exploring as it is within a short walk to the town center, ancient theatre, and bus station. The dining experience, although in a room with breathtaking panoramic views, lacked variation and enthusiasm. Overall, a charming but somewhat cramped stay.

The hotel offers a room with basic amenities in a small space, slightly old, but with a beautiful terrace and a breathtaking view. The service is a mix of unhelpful encounters but overall courteous and willing to assist. Its location is convenient for exploring Taormina and offers stunning views. The dining experience is lacking variety unless extra items are paid for.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, although smaller than expected, were adequate and had a breathtaking view. The breakfast was basic and didn't quite match the nightly rate. The service was exceptional, with cheerful and attentive staff. The location was ideal for exploring the main shopping area of Taormina, and the dining experience, while not exceptional, was okay.
