Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were so elegant and luxurious, turning down the sheets each evening was a lovely touch. The service was outstanding with a friendly and helpful staff offering various convenient amenities. The location was simply fantastic, providing beautiful sea views, and the dining experience was brilliant, especially with the free shuttle to Taormina. However, dining and staying during the high season can be a bit expensive. Overall, a wonderful experience!
Staying at this hotel was a dream come true! The junior suite with two bathrooms and a fantastic large patio overlooking the sea and stunning hotel grounds was absolutely luxurious and beautifully decorated. The rooms are nice but slightly smaller, yet the views make up for it. The service was outstanding, with welcoming, friendly, and attentive staff who made my stay truly enjoyable. The location is simply superb, with magical views from the rooms and bar/restaurant overlooking the beach and bay.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, though small with an old-style shower, was comfortable and impeccably clean. The location on the beautiful Mazzaro Bay was a delight, but could get expensive during high season. The dining experience was excellent with great a la carte options. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
I had an incredible stay at this hotel, with stunning sea views and impeccable service. The rooms were beautifully appointed, and the beach-facing suite was simply sublime. The only drawback was some wedding noise that could be heard at times.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful. The rooms were well-furnished and had a lovely touch with lemon trees on the balcony. Everything was impeccably clean, and the little terrace was a perfect spot to relax. The service was top-notch, with staff always going the extra mile to assist. The location by the Bay of Mazzaro was truly fantastic, offering a memorable experience. Dining was enjoyable, and the hotel facilities were impressive.
The hotel offers nicely decorated rooms with a touch of Scandinavian design but they are on the smaller side. The service is incredibly helpful and attentive, going the extra mile to assist guests. The location on the beautiful Mazzaro Bay is amazing, with easy access to upper Taormina. The dining experience is delightful, with prompt delivery to rooms. However, the rooms are smaller than expected, and the high season prices can be expensive.
