The hotel is a bit tired; it needs to be modernized. I can imagine in the 50s/60’s it was the place to be in Taormina. There are many pictures around the hotel from that period showing the glamorous lifestyle then.
I specifically paid a room with a view of Taormina Bay and Mount Enta, have a look at the photo’s and you’ll see my problem, they could not change it.
That said the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful.
The pool area is delightful; you only have to dial “1” on the phone and your Spritz will arrive in no time.
The hotel is a 5-minute walk into Taormina.
Finally, it is the best place in the world to enjoy your breakfast.
