The place was tidy with private parking and a good bed. Nice pool area, large breakfast with the best fresh orange and different breads and prosecco. Stunning and lovely location for our needs, not far from shops and restaurants and Greek ancient theater as well as the tunnel.

A great selection of food for breakfast, it was amazing. The employees were patient and top-class all the time. Had nice location right next to the bus station which made travelling around very easy, around 4-6 minutes' walk from a chain casino. Moreover, it was not far from the bus terminal where all the tours depart from, a short walk to the cable car and town, Taormina's centro storico and a tunnel next to the cable car.

Possibly the best and enjoyable stay for vacation in sicily. Modern double room with balcony. Magnificent location in a very relaxing area so close to a tunnel next to the cable car, the main bus station where excursions to surrounding attractions and within walking distance to main streets. Plus, close to a historical baroque church.
