I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, with a stunning sea view from the fantastic balcony. The room was clean and comfortable, but unfortunately overlooked the refuse store. The staff provided great service, from the cleaners to the manager. The location was conveniently near the bus terminal in Taormina, making it easy to explore. The dining experience offered authentic dishes and further enhanced by the great views. Overall, a memorable stay with some minor downsides.

The hotel has a convenient location right next to the bus station and offers lovely garden vistas. The rooms need updating, especially the bathrooms. Although my room had a put-up bed in an awkward spot with a poor view overlooking a refuse store, the balcony view of the convent below was a nice touch.

The hotel is ideally situated near the main bus terminal in Taormina, offering pretty garden views. The rooms are cozy with working AC but lack a balcony. While the service from cleaners to managers is commendable, there's a need for improvement on providing codes directly. The dining experience is enhanced by fresh orange juice and great vistas, making it a delightful stay.
