Richard, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is about 20 minutes up a very steep and winding road above Taorimina so it's not convenient to go back and forth. The decor is dated, but the hotel has an old world charm and the setting is beautiful. The back of the hotel looks at Mount Etna and the wonderful pool faces it too. The breakfast was nice and had typical Sicilian pastries. They could update the decorations in the rooms and lobby.

We enjoyed the peaceful mountain atmosphere and the relative tranquility of the surrounding area.

Deborah, 1-night trip

The hotel is situated just below the village of Castelmola. It is a small & quirky hotel with lots of antique furniture & artifacts. All the staff were very helpful & pleasant. The views of Mt Etna from the hotel were breath taking. All areas of the hotel were clean.

Joseph, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed here for 2 nights and we wish we could have stayed longer. The view from our terrace was beautiful - it overlooked Mount Etna and the surrounding hills. Room was spacious and rustic, which made it feel authentic. All staff at the hotel were lovely and friendly. Breakfast was great and they had such a good choice of fresh food. The pool area was a nice touch - it was great getting in the pool after a long day in the sun. Would happily stay here again and would recommend this place to anyone!
Shannon, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Just a wonderful property. Great service from the staff. All very friendly and accommodating to your needs. Property is very clean. The breakfast was very good every day. It’s a short walk up to Castelmola which has some excellent restaurants and breathtaking landscape and shops. Grab a short bus ride into Taormina right outside of the hotel also. We would definitely stay at this property again.
Paula, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

A good spot above Taormina. Runs shuttle bus to the town. Rooms are OK. Our was a little run down with a loud grinding air conditioner, and a leaking faucet. The staff are very hard working both at the hotel and in the evening at the restaurant. Breakfasts are good, and the pool is very good. Good parking available across the street under ground. Easy access to Castelmolo by walking up some stairs.
