Independent in Eastern Sicily from AU$170

"Was a very nice hotel and great location "

"The property is very well located and we enjoyed a beautifully updated room overlooking Isola Bella. It would be more convenient to have more shuttle times to go up to Taormina’s main area. Very happy with this beautiful hotel! "

"Air conditioning was very dated and seemed pretty weak- and it wasn’t that hot when we stayed there in early October. Also TVs were small for room size and the streaming services didn’t really work effectively because of limitations of the WiFi system. Loved the high ceilings and grand old hotel style furniture, furnishings and feel"

"Very nice suite in a very good location. Staff were nice and security was very good."

"We loved our stay here. The beach is wonderful and so is the location. "

"We really enjoyed this property. The buildings are ancient, but completely renovated and clean. Bathrooms are new, beds are comfortable with good linens. Breakfasts are excellent with many choices. "

"Room was lovely. We had a balcony view to the sea. The hotel is a mix of old and new. The restaurant was perfect for dinner. The front desk clerk was very accommodating and arranged a taxi for us to the airport. There are places to eat nearby and a big grocery store. Very nice place."

"Staff very helpful, nice. Beautiful views. Unfortunately it was raining a lot, and could not use the pool. Area is very nice."

"We stayed overnight here after flying in from Edinburgh to Catania. The staff were very helpful indeed and we were given a complimentary bottle of wine on arrival - which helped us wind down offer a long days travelling. The room was spacious and comfortable with views of the pool and courtyard. There was also a complementary minibar selection of soft drinks and snacks, which we appreciated."
