Pros: We were welcomed by Joshua, who despite the mad rush at reception took the time to guide us through the places we should visit and restaurants not to miss. It’s a stone’s throw from the plush Timeo and I’d say on a par when it comes to service

Pros: The staff is great. Very helpful and definitely a commendable team. Even though there were several different people behind the desk you could tell they knew what your room was and the situation of your reserved tour. Everyone was very kind and attentive. The breakfast is delicious and on the last two days we found out you could get omelette a and scrambled eggs done aside from the buffet. We didn’t know before so maybe letting the guests know this is possible would be good. The room was great. The facilities also great to relax and very personal. Unfortunately we couldn’t try the restaurant there but it sounded amazing. Great location definitely. Right up some steps from the main road of Taormina and right next to one of the best pizza places there. Hope this helps

Pros: This was such a wonderful place, it broke my heart to leave. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are great. My terrace overlooked the gardens and the outdoor hot tub. The room was elegant without being fussy. The breakfast was a work of art! Every morning it was a beautiful (and tasty) was to start the day. The staff were very helpful and friendly and welcoming. I can’t wait to go back to Taormina to stay in this wonderful place with this staff again. My only disappointment was that I expected a friend to join me for a day and I was going to have the chef prepare a meal for us. Unfortunately my friend couldn’t make it at the last minute and I waited too long to have a meal for myself. That definitely will not happen the next time I am there.

Pros: Beautiful property and rooms, felt like you were staying in an Italian villa that was only a very short walk to the main Street. The rooms were clean and comfortable with some modern amenities.

Beautiful gardens, plunge pool and terrace for evening drinks. Highly recommended.

Pros: There was not one thing in particular that I could say I liked most, everything was spectacular. The moment I called for help getting there, I was expertly guided and assisted in handling the car that I had. The service was immediate, we where greeted at the gate to help with our bags. A few steps onto the property we where awed by the beauty, everything from the immaculate Tiered villa descending the mountain side, to the surreal vistas we had before us. From one spot near our room, we could see the shore all the way to Catania, this view included the breathtaking Mount Etna as well as the Toarmina shores. The hotel is a few steps away from the Main Street, which has just the right of energy all day long, full of shops, cafes, and restaurants to keep you busy. Above and beyond the ambiance, I have never experienced such amazing staff. Especially Francesco and Allesio, whom took every opportunity to help make our trip even more magical. Everything from assistance with our bags, to cocktails in the garden, they where I top of it with endless smiles. We where even offered to be driven into town the day of our checkout in our car so they could help us find parking and make sure everything was in order. I will undoubtedly be returning to this hotel any occasion I return to Sicily. If this hotel is ever an option for you, take it, you will not regret it.

The breakfast was fabulous. The lounge at the top of the hotel has the most incredible view. Our room was very comfortable.
Cons: I am extremely sensitive to minor things around how well a room is maintained over time and I notice small wear and tears and they bother me. For example, I see when there is some accumulated gunk around door hinges in the shower, or small areas of stain around bathroom sink edges, whereas my husband doesn't notice these things at all. I think most would say it was all fine, but these little things bother me because I am a bit intense about cleanliness. About the room there were very small things that bothered me about the bathroom BUT please understand that I am quirks that I assume most people do not have. For example, there is a door to the toilet that did not close all the way and this was very annoying. There were no soap dishes for the bar soap which was inconvenient. Also, I greatly dislike sinks that are square-shaped without any curves because I think it is a bad design.

In the lounge nightly entertainment. Breakfast was great! You are not allowed to drink while in pool, they should allow that. Also no service for lunch and drink while sitting at pool. There is a cute bar with tables but sometimes you just want to lounge in your chair.overall it was amazing!

The lifts were dangerous, I caught my arm and hurt it, as it closed very sharply and quickly. My daughter and her three year old daughter were stuck another lift, the very long one going to the beach. We were just told it was old, and had already had many complaints regarding it.

Pros: Beautiful location Awesome breakfast complimentary with many choices. Beds were hard perfect for folks with back issues. My room had double sinks in bathroom and a small walk in dressing room with a larger mirror and outlets for your own hairdryer)one is already in bathroom). It had some drawers a mini fridge and hangers to hang your clothes Staff always asking what they can do for you except for down pool area. They seemed to be put out and barked at us about how many towels we took vs signed out. They came out one time from behind pool desk questioning us about how many we took and signed out. When our husbands got the towels they didn’t question them at all and it was same person who was rude to us. Anyway we didn’t let that bother us and still rate this hotel very highly

Also, too much chlorine in the pool! In general, they offered a very nice buffet breakfast with a fantastic terrace view, staff were helpful and courteous ... we enjoyed our stay immensley!

Pros: The spa room was large with a beautiful view and an amazing terrace. Modern facilities in a historical building. It was a perfect location in the centre of one of the busiest pedestrian only streets in Taormina with easy access to restaurants and historical sites. The hotel provided a romantic and tranquil place to retreat at the end of a busy day. The staff was very helpful in recommending some excellent local restaurants as well in helping to organize experiences based on your personal preferences. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Pros: The location was very central. The balcony was small but it was lovely to have the windows open and enjoy the view. The staff were friendly.
Cons: Thought it was extremely overrated for a 5 star property. We booked for our honeymoon and were welcomed as a newly wedded couple at reception but it ended there. The room was small, and everything was white, nothing that stood out about it and it lacked character. As a honeymoon couple it would have been nice to have a bottle of prosecco or something extra in our room, but we were treated no different to any tourist so we weren't made to feel special. The bathroom was nice with a big shower although the inside of the shower screen didn't look like it ever got cleaned. I spilt some foundation on the marble floor in the bedroom and it was there the whole 5 days and didn't get cleaned. The breakfast was very stingy with no cheese or meats. Although the breakfast staff were lovely and extremely helpful. I've stayed in much nicer rooms for a fraction of the rate we paid.

Cons: Whilst being on the cheaper side for 5 star properties, there's little that warrants the rating. Breakfast is a joke, no ironing facilities other than a massively overpriced ironing service on "request" (in that we had to wait for the sole designated staff member to show up), promised welcome drink never materialised. Amongst the many missed opportunities to make the stay worthwhile was that despite being informed it was a birthday trip, there no was no token gesture of any kind as expected of a hotel of the alleged calibre.

Cons: The only 2 things we didn't like were that our room was at the ground floor room 101, not a big deal either but of course I would have liked a room with a balcony, and that we had to pay an extra fee of €4 each, although it s not expensive, for the beach towels.

3.3 Mediocre
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Quality of service Hospitality was zero Rooms were small, dirty, jacuzzi was dirty. No water in the room only 1 natural and 1 sparkling. Definitely not a five star hotel should be a 3 star at best No taxi No bell boy we had to carry our suitcases down the stairs after a 12 hour trip. Friends were staying in Sant Andrea a much much better option with real service a true 5 star hotel.
7.1 Good
Pros: the breakfast early in the morning
Cons: we had a room with a terrace which was too close to the restaurant, we didn't enjoy at all .... the lounge is nice late late afternoon or after sunset because the beach is too crowdy
6.7 Good
Pros: Location was great
Cons: Horrible white plastic sheeting obscuring the balcony and already partly used toiletries left twice in my room for me to use
6.3 Good
Pros: Location on the beach is lovely. Gym was great.
Cons: Room was tiny but we were able to move rooms. No pool. We were overcharged for Spa treatment. Treatment was supposed to go for 80 minutes, but we only had 50 minutes. Staff unhelpful. Also cut leg on broken glass table at breakfast. Facilities and service is not 5-star.
3.3 Mediocre
Pros: Access to the sea
Cons: The restaurant was x5 more expensive. Upon check out the hotel tried to charge us for items we didn’t order or have
9.2 Excellent
Pros: The location is great and the view is amazing
Cons: Getting to the hotel and back to the station is relatively expensive by taxi
10.0 Excellent

Cons: The parking needed to be explained a little better regarding cost, when it’s in Italian writing it’s not very easy to understand. 20€ a day is ok, but again it should be advised when agreeing to the parking.

Pros: Fantastic viiew. Rooms where clean We made a mistake and booked the wrong dates and they were very helpful for changing dates.. thanks for that
Cons: On the whole Staff left a lot to be desired. apart from the pool waiter and night receptionist ( young man) who tried to be helpful at times. Nothing happened to us in particular but they do not try go out of their way to please client... It seems like it's always the clients fault and they speak between themselves at front desk. The housekeepers though were exceptional and very nice.
6.3 Good
Pros: did not opt for breakfast from hotel. Location is excellent for magnificent views of Taormina.
Cons: Walking to and out from hotel a bit difficult in view of steep hill, some sort of escalator will help. Bathrooms seem a bit outdated, walk in showers would be more adequate. Mattresses felt old.
9.6 Excellent
Pros: Magnificent location with stunning views, probably the best in Taormina. Reception, restaurant and bar staff were top class and superbly courteous. Great pool. Very comfortable bed!
Cons: Rooms could do with a little modernising - they are somewhat dull but very comfortable. The walk uphill from the hotel to the town centre, although short, might be challenging for some elderly and disadvantaged patrons.

5.0 Okay
Pros: Giovanni, one of the front desk clerks was the best one that made our stay very comfortable and hassle free
Cons: The location ... no parking and we needed to go up and down the steep driveway. Maybe an elevator to the top of the hill would be great!

7.1 Good
Pros: Good location next to the bus stop and only 10 min walk to the old town. Some hotel stuff was very nice and helpful. Great breakfast and fruit in the room.
Cons: We expected an ocean view when booking a premium room at the hotel. To our surprise our room was facing the big wall on the opposite side of the ocean and next to the elevator. Tried to change it and it was not possible. That’s why we tried to cancel this night here but at the end of the day decided to stay in and booked more two nights directly with the hotel an ocean view room for additional 50 Euro per night. It would be hard moving to a new place with a lot of luggage. Spent a lot of precious time at the front desk instead of enjoying Sicily and Taormina.

Love the style of this hotel, I thought it had so many beautiful details and took many photos of different parts. Kinda felt like a princess in a castle. highly recommend a sea view with a terrace!

Pros: The hotel is desperately short of staff but the few they have are excellent and very hard-working. They need more staff and the hotel desperately needs maintenance. Many of the appliances don’t work like the toaster. Only one of three elements is working. In the lift only one of 4 lights were working. In our room, every time I put our key card in the slot, the lights tripped and I personally had to lift the switches in the electrical box every time we went into our room. In the bathroom, there are cracked tiles and there is nowhere to hang one’s towels. The balcony never got cleaned. A complete audit needs to be done of this so-called four-star hotel. In its day it must have been magnificent, but it really needs some tender loving care now. Also, because the breakfast room is run by a separate company, there is literally not one minutes grace come 10 am. Be clear the tables and all the produce and make you feel guilty for being a few minutes late. They also switch off the coffee machines and make you feel most unwelcome. There is no soap in the public lavatory. Today is that I’m aware of. Nobody is checking on housekeeping or maintenance and this must be done if the hotel is to keep a four-star rating. It is superbly positioned but that will not be enough for disgruntled customers all of whom have told me they will not return.

Pros: This hotel has the potential to be something so great but unfortunately there are a lot of items which let the hotel down and that was more than apparent when we spoke to other guests staying in the hotel at the same time. For one, I had a really bad back and the lift to the pool was not functioning. I don't think it has been functioning for quite some time. I had to struggle up and down the stairs to get to the pool. Secondly, there are no facilities for drink service and the coffees we did order, the poor gentleman who organised them for us, had to climb the same stairs up and down. My daughter whilst in the pool area, tripped on the drain webbing surrounding the pool, she cut her leg. I informed reception of this and the receptionist was helpful but could not solve the maintenance issue. We placed a lounge chair over the damaged area so no one else got hurt. Breakfast was terrible. The first breakfast we had, there was mouldy bread on the buffet. No variety in the breakfast whatsoever and everything tasted stale. This was so disappointing. The hotel in general is in disrepair and needs a lot of attention. We accidentally walked into corridors in the lower levels where rooms are being updated but doors were not shut and therefore we could see into these rooms. Finally, the kind receptionist who was very nice and helpful got sacked by the manager as we checked out. She was very upset and I don't blame her as the manager was incredibly rude and unappreciative of her. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel even though the outlook and setting of this hotel are incredible.

Pros:
Cons: The place is totally run down, the service is dispicable - it’s truly and un-stayable place
3.8 Mediocre
Pros: The view, the location and being able to park our car there although we had to pay an extra 15 euros per night for that.
Cons: This hotel is very shabby and rundown. The air conditioner in our room was an old clunker that was so noisy, we couldn't use it. It was over 30 degrees and there were mosquitoes so having to leave the window open for air wasn't great. We were in a "deluxe/superior" room but only given one pillow each, one roll of toilet paper and one very tiny piece of soap to use for three days and the shower hook was broken. They came by to make up our room in the middle of the afternoon when people typically are taking a break before dinner and never bothered to come back again when they found our room occupied which they should have been aware of as all keys are left at the front desk when you leave your rooms. When we tried to check out early to catch a ferry (even though the front desk was open 24/7) we had to go down to the kitchen to find the desk clerk. This was a beautiful hotel at one point in time but it has been sadly neglected. The paint was peeling, rips in the fabric, dead flowers in the pots on the balcony, sconces almost falling off the walls. This is definitely not a four star hotel and not worth the nightly rate we were charged.
8.3 Excellent
Pros: I liked the location of the hotel, the staff was amazing, very kind and helpful. Breakfast area was fantastic ! My junior suit had sea view with marvelous decoration.
Cons: I didn’t like the room on my arrival but the manager has upgraded me with a small extra payment The elevator to the pool was off and the safety box was not installed in the closet. This hotel could be the diamond of Taormina as its location is unique and everything inside painting s, furniture , wall papers, doors , floors , tiles and marbles are madeof high value materials.
6.3 Good
Pros: Location was perfect. The staff were most helpful, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Comfortable beds and plenty of hot water and clean towels and linen.
Cons: Parts of the hotel needs updating, our first room wasn’t acceptable so they moved us to a better room. Needs more staff as the current staff were multi tasking. Pool didn’t look clean and the lift down to it wasn’t working either. Pool bar closed as was the gym. It could be a fabulous hotel but it’s splendour has faded.
5.8 Okay
Pros: Location. Old Italian style .
Cons: Maintained everything issues with plumbing & General Electric’s & cleaning.
3.8 Mediocre
Pros: Location
Cons: Lack of staff ... we wanted a 4 star hotel and we got a 2 star hotel
6.7 Good
Pros: Amazing sea view with a big balcony and a window in the bathroom also looking out on the sea. Staff were very friendly and accommodating I.E. extra pillows and leaving bags in hotel before going to the airport.
Cons: The bed wasn’t very comfortable. It was two singles pushed together. Woke up with a very sore back. Elevator down to pool not working. Drinks and snacks at the pool are a ridiculous price and pool did not look that clean.
6.3 Good
Pros: Staff were friendly and location was good. The pool was nice and quiet but could of done with a bar.
Cons: Damp in the room and a smell of sewage coming from the air con. Mould on the ceiling and the breakfast was appalling.
3.3 Mediocre
Pros: Location
Cons: Dreadful hotel. One of our rooms actually had termites in the wooden frame. It was kept together by paint only and when we scratch it with the key you could see thousands of them. We complained and initially they wanted to bug spray and give us another room the next day but when we refused to go back in the room we showed them a picture of the termites. Then they realised it was a no go. The pool was unclean and cloudy and the lift to the pool was (still) broken. The rest of the hotel was unkept with paint and bits of plasterboard falling down and left for days on the floor. Such a pity as the place has potential if someone cared and was willing to invest.
5.8 Okay
Pros: This hotel has the potential to be something so great but unfortunately there are a lot of items which let the hotel down and that was more than apparent when we spoke to other guests staying in the hotel at the same time. For one, I had a really bad back and the lift to the pool was not functioning. I don't think it has been functioning for quite some time. I had to struggle up and down the stairs to get to the pool. Secondly, there are no facilities for drink service and the coffees we did order, the poor gentleman who organised them for us, had to climb the same stairs up and down. My daughter whilst in the pool area, tripped on the drain webbing surrounding the pool, she cut her leg. I informed reception of this and the receptionist was helpful but could not solve the maintenance issue. We placed a lounge chair over the damaged area so no one else got hurt. Breakfast was terrible. The first breakfast we had, there was mouldy bread on the buffet. No variety in the breakfast whatsoever and everything tasted stale. This was so disappointing. The hotel in general is in disrepair and needs a lot of attention. We accidentally walked into corridors in the lower levels where rooms are being updated but doors were not shut and therefore we could see into these rooms. Finally, the kind receptionist who was very nice and helpful got sacked by the manager as we checked out. She was very upset and I don't blame her as the manager was incredibly rude and unappreciative of her. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel even though the outlook and setting of this hotel are incredible.
