A traditional hotel, spotlessly clean and located right by the beach with beautiful October sunrises and views of the Italian mainland on clear days. Staff very approachable and professional, and many offered very helpful advice regarding trips and finding our way around. Great selection of fruit/cereals or cooked breakfast with bonus of what seemed to be freshly baked orange/almond/lemon cakes and other sweet treats.

Coast road location meant that it could sometimes be a bit lively walking along to the town- we varied our options between walking and taxis and the cable cars. I suppose you can’t have everything in such a spectacular location- views amazing from top of Taormina… Hotel bathroom suites have been modernised at some point whilst more traditional colourful tiles remain, and always fresh and clean, toiletries and towels renewed, only issue may be the small space between toilet and shower.

The views were amazing, it was peaceful, the staff were professional, the private beach was leisurely and relaxed, the hotel decor was so old fashioned it was fashionable again 😂 in all seriousness, we loved the quirky charm of the decor, fixtures and fittings.

The shower cubicle because it was so small and although the hair dryer was a relic and a novelty it did get a bit tiresome to use effectively. The walk along the busy road to get to the cable car which takes you to the centre of Taormina was not ideal. A shuttle service put on by the hotel would be a good idea. A taxi to the centre is a €40 round trip so gets expensive.

Excellent location, dated but very cute hotel, super nice and helpful staff. Very nice beach and comfortable beach beds (which are included in the price) Rooms being cleaned every day

Breakfast wa very good but better selection of breads and fruits would be nice

it is not the newest one hotel, but has own charm and perfect staff. do not expect newest technology, it is more Agatha Christie style from last century, but hotel has everything you need for stay! very comfy beds and beautiful view and one of the best terrace I saw! From hotel to city center of Tarmina is it by taxi around 10-12 minutes, but here you have the own beach. We have the rooms at the highest flor and it was really perfect to have such great view on Italy on other side of the sea. Minibar was very good prepared and it was funny to get there - you have to use the key! :)

OK, they can upgrade the technology, but I liked it very much. Bathroom is very tiny, but clean and cosy....

The location was great and the welcoming staff (Ernesto and Mona Lisa special thanks ) was amazing & polite. The staff at the beach was so kind and helpful during the whole day. The breakfast and the dinner were delicious. Very close to the funicular to go up to Taormina.

Actually, there wasn't any specific issue for me to write a negative review about. Apart from the packaged bread with mold that we requested for breakfast before our tour. If I were a customer inclined to create problems and potentially undermine the positive experiences of our otherwise enjoyable holiday, I could have provided very serious feedback here. Most importantly, despite raising the issue twice at different times, there was no positive follow-up or resolution, which is a significant concern. In such instances, it's crucial to reassess customer management and approach strategies. I recommend reconsidering what another customer might express or expect in this matter."

First impressions the hotel looked like it needed a refurbishment but you soon fall in love with its old world charm. Our double doors opened straight onto the sea and we were rocked to sleep by the ocean. A quiet situation from the hustle and bustle of Taormina but close enough to walk to the cable car which takes you up the hill. Very easy to do.

The road to the cable car is very busy and a bit scary at times as there is no path on route. it takes about 15 to 20 minutes.

This is a lovely traditional Italian hotel with a private beach. Our room was large and airy. It was comfortably furnished and spotlessly clean. The views of the beach, the sea and the Italian main-land beyond were beautiful. The hotel is very well managed. There are plenty of staff on hand and they are all pleasant and attentive. The hotel's restaurant serves good food and wine. The buffet breakfast is very good.

We would have preferred a shorter walk to the cable car (to the old town above).

We liked the beautiful coastal location. The indoor seating areas were lovely and outdoor dining terraces overlooking the sea, under a canopy of greenery (ficus) were spectacular. It was nice to have complimentary seating and towels on the beach. We were here late October and able to swim in the wonderfully clear sea.

Although we mostly found the dining room and reception staff very friendly and helpful, a few were a little abrupt. Whilst we noted that the hotel is within easy walking distance of Taormina, it should be noted that this is along a busy road without footpaths. A taxi can be quite expensive for the short distance. Walking along the shoreline is not possible because of rocky outcrops.

I loved the breakfast on the terrace and the proximity to the beach.

The dinner wasn't as nice as it could be. It was mediocre.

Friendly staff, 24-7 concierge service, parking, great location - near Taormina cable car and with private beach The breakfast versatility was quite limited , yet the dining terrace was amazing. We also enjoyed the restaurant evening meals - good quality and moderate pricing We left the hotel before breakfast and got some early food packages prepared specially for us. The wooden furniture and room design patterns date back to early 1970s, but as everything in Italy - it has the style and good vibes

The room was a bit small for 3 people
