Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel. The rooms were stylish, modern, and beautiful, offering a small patio to sit and unwind while enjoying the sea view. The service was top-notch with staff who spoke excellent English and were incredibly helpful in booking activities. The location was ideal, conveniently situated between Taormina and Catania, a perfect base to explore Sicily with easy access to transportation. The dining experience was delightful, offering a self-service breakfast on the terrace with various juice and milk options. My only minor concern was the occasional train noise, but it didn't affect my overall enjoyment.
My hotel stay was truly magnificent! The rooms were beautifully decorated and had a great terrace, like mine, number 112, and they were very clean and spacious with doors leading to a lovely garden space for some pre-dinner relaxation. The beds were twin beds stuck together, though. The modern bathrooms were pristine, and the daily towel changes and every second day bedding changes were a nice touch.
The hotel offers a stylish and modern room, surprisingly spacious and perfectly comfortable despite being very cold at night. The service is exceptional, with pleasant, polite, and friendly staff ready to assist in exploring nearby attractions. The location, though not in the city center, provides a picturesque view of the sea and coastline, making it a good base for touring Sicily with a hire car. The dining experience offers a variety of juices and milk options, including almond and soya milk, served on a lovely terrace. The facilities are top-notch, catering to every need with room service, housekeeping, and more.
