My stay at the hotel was really comfortable and enjoyable. The rooms were spacious with good beds and a reasonably sized bathroom, making it a perfect retreat from the dawn of time. The service was exceptional, especially with parking being a challenge in the area, yet the staff was very helpful despite my lack of Italian language skills. The location was fantastic, within walking distance to Isola Bella and a short trip to Taormina town, surrounded by great dining options and easy access to transportation. The dining experience was fantastic with super friendly service and breathtaking views. Overall, a great value for a clean hotel base in the area.
