Excellent property and very convenient to all attractions in Taormina. A giant multi-tiered parking lot is located next to the hotel. Property is clean and has a fantastic charm of the Art Nouveau style, and Hotel staff was extremely efficient, pleasant and very helpful and there for every need of mine.

Staff are excellent, especially on the Reception Desk (Giuseppe and Simona particularly helpful). Food is good. Only let-down is decor which is a bit tired, but then it doesn't purport to be a 5-star establishment.

The staff were wonderful and the breakfast buffet was amazing. I would definitely stay here again. My only suggestion would be better signage to indicate where to leave the car for the valet-it was confusing.
