I have nothing negative to say about this place. I stayed for 4 night with my wife and 2 young children (6 and 7) and I was thrilled with my stay. Room was spacious and clean, the grounds are incredible, service is top notch and food is excellent. It's a splurge but very much worth it.

Stunning property away from the crowds of Taormina, with beach access and great views of Mount Etna. Service was superb. Breakfast and lunch were delicious. Dinner ambiance and service were incredible. Food presentation was out of this world, though the dishes were more beautiful than they were tasty. Overall, I would highly recommend it.

We went here for our honeymoon and it was perfect! We saved up a long time to afford a hotel like this and was not disappointed! Service was excellent, room was spacious, clean and comfortable. It's probably the most beautiful and aesthetically pleasing hotel we have been to. The staff was warm and friendly, we were really sad to leave. Their mixologist working in the evening bar made fantastic drinks! I cannot recommend this hotel enough. We were sad to leave, our honeymoon was incredible ❤️❤️❤️

Wonderful hotel, in a wonderful location. The hotel is magical, and the Staff were outstanding. Everything about our room was perfect and the breakfast was delicious. The food from the restaurant wasn't to our liking, however this didn't affect our stay. I would recommend having a car to explore as there is nothing much within walking distance, however the hotel is so beautiful you may not want to go anywhere else!
