Amazing location. Although difficult to reach close to the top of the mountain, on the way to Castelmola, has wonderful rooms with terrace and nice view. It is not you regular hotel. Built in a rock it's a hilly hotel! But great! Nice buffet Italian breakfast! all rooms very clean, good TV and powerful reliable WiFi!

Breathtaking views of the sea and town, from both the room's balcony and the breakfast/restaurant area.

A bit hard to get to, but well worth the trip. Attentive staff, good food, and great views of the sea and Mt. Etna.

Beautiful place. Hotel was great. My only 2 complaints were that water in the shower didn't get hot,just lukewarm, and the bed was hard/uncomfortable. The view from the window was great. Hotel staff excellent. Safe area but have to walk up steep hill, stairs to get to hotel and room.

Nice hotel, sadly no lifts - only stair entrance. Simple breakfast, beautiful view from the rooms with a terrace. Serviceminded staff. Extremely small showerspace.

The hotel room was very lovely, clean and modern with of course amazing views over Etna. We were greeted nicely to the hotel. Please note that unless you plan on taking a lot of taxis, and are less mobile, the hotel is only accessible via some very steep stairs from the town. What let the hotel down for us was the complete lack of sound insulation between rooms. Wearing headphones at 1am trying to block out noisy neighbours ruined the experience for us. However the place is a good price and could suit people not bothered by this sort of thing!

Nice hotel with greats views over Etna and the sea. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast buffé was small but very tasty. I would really recommend this place if you prefer a calm place with great views. Great price!

The hotel staff were lovely and helpful and directed us to Taormina Centre very clearly. For those who have difficulty using stairs, it would be wise if they spoke to hotel staff directly to see if they can be offered easier access

Friendly staff - well run - a little bit outside town and from the beach but f=great views and good food. Lots of steps which is worth noting if you are unfit.

not quite in Taormina and a little in need of some attention to bring this up to scratch.

Generally nice hotel. Rooms were very clean. Most with their own terraces / balconies with excellent views of the bay and Mt Etna. Breakfast basic but nice. Hotel is situated at the top of the hill so it is a bit of a climb up and down to the town. Bar and restaurant quite expensive - would have been more likely to stay there in the evening for meal/drinks if more reasonably priced. Better value drinks and food in the town. Had requested a taxi to take us to the train station for 7am - this was booked by a member of staff the night before. Unfortunately the taxi did not arrive and we missed our train. This was most likely the fault of the taxi company but no-one was around in the hotel at that time to help us find another and we ended up walking with our bags down the hill to the station.

A quirky hotel with fantastic views. The room was pretty basic but functional and the staff very very helpful. It's a 20 minute climb up the steps from the town but that was part of the fun and you can always take a rest and look at the view.

Having stayed in Taormina previously we knew where we were going to be in relation to the town centre so on reading other reviews that put location as a negative its misleading as this is part of the whole beauty of Taormina, a picturesque town set on a mountain side. Staff at the hotel were helpful and courteous. We had a few small issues, but they were dealt with immediately. The room no.33 was spacious, with two basins in the bathroom and a very warm powerful shower. The double bed was two singles together but that made for a good nights sleep. We had a private balcony with the stunning view of Etna and the bay. Breakfast was plenty, a bowl of cereal, fresh fruit to help yourself. On the table a croissant and two rolls each, meat or cheese fillings and coffee or tea. For the money paid this was definately value for money and would recommend this for a 2* stay.

Normally we skip these "polls" from the webpages, but this hotel was so uplifting that we had to write a recommendation... A great family-owned Hotel located on the mountainside! Amazing view overlooking Toarmina, the sea and Etna. Friendly and kind staff. We had a pleasant stay and would certainly recommend it - as you won't be dissapointed (if you don't mind climbing stairs:)

This was one of the cheaper hotels in Taormina through Expedia, but there are better hotels for the price. We got a "basic" room and it was exactly that. A bed and a (not entirely clean) bathroom. The shower was pretty awful too. The real benefit of this place though is the view and it gets a pass mark for that alone. Incredible views on a clear morning from the (very basic) breakfast. One way to save some more money on your trip would be to buy a bottle of prosecco and drink it on their sun deck; cheaper than the bars downtown and it lets you freshen up in your room before hitting town for dinner etc.
