Excellent location with convenient onsite parking and a short walk to lidos and the Taormina cable car. We especially appreciated the terrace with sea views. Would recommend as a great quiet alternative to Taormina crowds while still being very close to Taormina main town.

We loved the location, room was very clean with a nice sea view. Great that breakfast came with our package and the little terrace we ate at had a beautiful view. What was't great was the entry looked like we had to walk through the storage panty/back of the restaurant to get to our room; the bed was the worst we've slept on probably ever and every morning starting at 4:30 am we were woken by dumping recycling/trash almost every 20 minutes so its impossible to sleep. I'm not sure if it was just the garbage collection from the hotel below us, or if we were by a recycling facility where the whole town dumps their glass, but that's what it sounded like.

The gentleman at the front desk was great!! The view is spectacular!!! Breakfast was great! Close to the steps down to the beach, the lift into Taormina and shopping! The rooms were a little dated. We had a great window that opened up and gave us a spectacular sunrise from our room! The bar is expensive! Go down the street for drinks! There is a beautiful overlook/porch but it is cluttered and dirty! Could use a spruce up!

Cute boutique hotel. Our room had a beautiful balcony view of the ocean. We were able to check in early, and the manager was very helpful with information about how to get from the train station to the hotel. Breakfast and other meals are available at the hotel. There is a lovely indoor area and two out door spaces to eat.

The room was clean and comfortable. The WiFi was intermittent unless you were outside or close to the restaurant. The buffet breakfast was delicious and full of a variety of pastries and regional items. The view from where we ate our breakfast was one of a kind. Within a 2-3 minute walk we were at the Car Lift to take us to the top of Taormina. We were within walking distance to 3 beaches. Also the Restaurant associated with the Hotel has delicious food. So if you are in need of a late dinner or snack make sure to ask for a table or take it back to your room, either way it's a must try.

Wouldn’t recommend

My skin felt like it was crawling every time I walked in the room The bathroom walls were filthy you could see the dirt dripping on the walls the towels were stained the paint on top of the bathroom tile was peeling there were bugs it was not a pleasant experience the restaurant staff was nice if the other hotel wasn’t built in front of their terrace the view would’ve been nice too but they need a deep cleaning and update not worth the money at least now that we’ve been we know where to stay in the future we thought stayingclosertonthenbeach was the answer but it’s better to stay closer to town and take an uber out to the beach once since it costs 30€ each time you order one

We stayed 2 nights- off season, January.
The room (double/sea view) is quite small but the high ceiling made it feel bigger. The TV is rather small (likely 17”). 2 bottles of water were provided along with a few packets of English tea bags. There is a fridge. The air conditioner worked well. The bed is a bit hard but no too uncomfortable. I loved that it is pitch black when all the windows are closed.
The shower is made for a small framed person. The towels are not soft but smelled and looked clean.
Our room came with a semi private and very nice balcony which opens to a great sea view to catch the beautiful sunrise and sunset.
Finding a good place to eat is a 10 minute drive to the town of Taormina. It was a little hair raising experience for me as a passenger seeing the car coming into our lane on the twisty/hairpin turns to the town at night but I would not recommend eating at the hotel’s restaurant; it was one of the worst pizza and pasta I’ve had, here in Italy as well as the US. I think you’re better off stopping at a gas station and pick up food there.
Parking is a bit tight even in a compact car. There are 7 spots available but they are made for compact or mini cars.
There are 2 staff (at check in and lunch/dinner) we interacted both were very pleasant.
I am not surprised that the hotel is rated 1 ⭐️ for its amenities.
Conveniently a short walking distance to Isola Bella.
It has a lot of potential to be better.

We absolutely loved our stay in this hotel. Staff was incredible friendly and made us feel very welcomed. We had such a unique room that had 2 floors (bathroom on the bottom floor, sleeps 4 in total, and a small private outdoor sitting area). We had easy outdoor access to our room, steps away from the Hotel's own restaurant which was lovely and was an very convenient. The hotel is also 5 minute walk down a few steps to a beach and also 5 minute walk to the gondola that brings you up to the Taormina city center. Loved our stay and would absolute stay here again in future!

Great locstion woth amazing views over the sea (from the terrace). Breakfast was really mediocre and there were constantly birds landing on the terrace (not something that can be controlled by the hotel, but could be more actively patrolled). All of the staff were lovely, apart from one of the young guys who was extremely awkward and a little unfriendly. The Pizza is absolutely delicious and I highly reccomend this in the evenings, with soft jazz in the background.

Clean hotel with a beautiful view of the beach

Our hotel rom was very clean and spacious. The breakfast room overlooks the bay and is a very beautiful view. The breakfast itself is a continental buffet and we found this to be well stocked. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel which also has a beautiful view of the bay and is reasonably priced.The windows had shutters which were useful for keeping out the bright light in the morning and keeping the room cool as much as possible! It is of course still very bright and hot .the air conditioning was also very helpful with the heat. The staff were very friendly and helpful and spoke clear English. They made our stay comfortable. Our balcony was small but a nice place to relax close to the property

レストランがとても良かったです。
ロケーションも良く、朝食は海を眺めながら気持ち良く食事ができ、何を食べてもおいしくて満足。ランチやディナーは、宿泊客は1割引で食べられます。多くのお客で賑わっていました。
一つだけマイナス面があるとすれば、場所がら仕方ないのかも知れませんが、時々トカゲがテーブル下に現れる事がありました。苦手な方は注意しましょう。

Wish I had had longer here as it was a very good hotel for the money- lovely and well-appointed room and a very good restaurant with lovely view attached. Excellent service, very good breakfast on lovely open terrace overlooking bay. Excellent location only metres from parking lot beside funicular to Taormino. Probably the best way to visit the town at the top. Would highly recommend and would love to stay again.

Chambre triple avec vue partielle mer et petit balcon. Possibilité de garer la voiture 15 €/nuit. Qq min à pied du funiculaire. Petit déjeuner sur la terrasse face à la mer. Salé et sucré. Jus de fruits frais. Bon choix.
Proche à pied d'Isola bella.

The location of the hotel is convenient, but unfortunately the overall experience was very disappointing.

Our main expectation was simply to have a clean and quiet place to rest during our 5-night stay, and sadly this basic expectation was not met.

Every morning from around 5:00 AM, there were extremely loud disturbances directly outside our window. Garbage collection took place repeatedly over multiple time periods, creating significant noise and waking us up every single morning. In addition, loud motorcycle engine noise early in the morning made it impossible to sleep properly.

The room itself also had several cleanliness and maintenance issues, including poor overall cleanliness and a blocked shower drain.

For the price paid, this level of comfort and maintenance is simply not acceptable. A hotel should provide basic cleanliness and a reasonable level of quiet, and unfortunately this property failed on both.

I would not stay here again and cannot recommend it to travelers who value rest and sleep during their stay in Taormina.

El lugar es muy ameno, la ubicación muy buena y buen desayuno, solo hay que anticipar la llegada ya que tienen restricciones en horario de check-in desde las 8 pm y lugares limitados de estacionamientos.

La chambre était propre, néanmoins le revêtement du plafond tombait en lambeau à certains endroits et de nombreux morceaux se sont retrouvés sur le lit.
Concernant la salle de bain, de la moisissure était présente en grande quantité dans la douche.

Bien

Pour un hôtel 1 étoile, j’ai été très agréablement surprise. La chambre était propre, bien équipée et surtout située en bord de mer, ce qui est un vrai plus à Taormina. L’accueil était sympathique et le rapport qualité-prix excellent. Je recommande cet hôtel à ceux qui cherchent un séjour simple, calme et authentique.

Charmerende hotel med en fantastisk udsigt.

Et charmerende hotel med en fantastisk udsigt over Middelhavet. Værelset var fint og service god. I hotellets udendørs restaurant var der imidlertid en ubehagelig høj støj fra biler, gæster mv.

Slitet men med utsikt

Ett slitet hotell med en personal som ändå försökte göra det bästa av det. Det var dock en oslagbar utsikt över havet från vår trevliga terrass. Gillar man hotell som ligger ovanpå en järnvägstunnel så är detta ett givet val!
