Beautiful views and private beach area. The beach was extremely rocky (not the hotels fault) so you really need water shoes to walk the beach or enter the water. Location was ok as you can walk to the Cable Car in about 10 minutes to go to the downtown Taormina. For the price, it was worth the trip. I would go back. For breakfast, the food was good, but there were bees everywhere. I kind of lost my appetite when every time I went to eat my food there were bees on it.

Great stay! Staff was friendly and helpful.

En egen värld i världen! Som att vara bortkopplad från verkligheten🌸Magisk plats!

Shops in town plenty.

Amazing

gothic decor , different but nice Sun blocked out around 4:30 on the beach

The hotel was beautiful. Our room had an amazing sea view which you could open the door and listen to the waves. Watching the sunrise from our balcony was spectacular. Definitely recommend. Thank you.

La vue sur mer fait oublier le côté vieillot de l'hôtel. Per contre, il est indispensable de revoir le café du matin. Service de plage parfait.

I loved this property and will stay again! There was 4 of us and we stayed for 6 nights. The staff were amazing- kind attentive genuinely helpful. The room was quite clean beautiful and bright with a view overlooking the sea. The breakfast was basic but good and the dinner was delicious. We went out most days nights because we wanted to see the surrounding area. Location is great - you can easily walk to the cable car however if you’re from the states this may feel scare as they don’t have a side walk and cars go very fast. At one point the bus came past us and it felt like the scary instagram reels. You do get used to it and locals walk these narrow roads often. If you don’t feel like walking the staff will call you a cab and it was only $20 each way for 4 people which is actually less expensive then the cable cars. There is also a bus stop 20 feet from the entrance. Other great experiences were the beach and service at the beach. The beach is private and there is an attendant to help you with seating towels drinks and etc. right next door there is a place to borrow kayaks and paddle boards. The view was amazing and overall it was an incredible stay!!

Old charm but could use some upgrading

Great hotel away from main town. To get to town you need to walk along road and then take cable car, or taxi. Water to swim is amazing, so clear and clean, I would recommend booties as is small stones which can be a little uncomfortable. Our room with balcony was large, shower and bathroom were small but worked. Breakfast was a good range however didn't change except for cake selection. Restaurant at hotel had plenty of options and was a beautiful setting. Loved our stay here.

Loved the private beach and location. My second time visiting and each time I wish I could stay longer

Loved it here. It’s vintage & authentic Sicilian. Still bougie even through it was an older hotel. The breakfast was good with a lot of options. You get chairs on the beach & they will serve you drinks to your chairs. Would stay here again.

Property was amazing. Beautiful beach view from the room. Private beach for hotel guests. Salvatore was one of the great staff.

This hotel was beautiful. All the rooms had sea views. There was a private beach. The hotel had a large outdoor sitting area with drinks and coffee service, there was also a large indoor seating area as well. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Perfect beach spot with a short walk to the cable cars

We had a restful stay at the hotel by the beach. The hotel itself was rather dated and needed some upgrading in the quality of rooms, bathroom (no proper shower) and entry was using a single key (not digital). The staff were friendly and welcoming, particularly MonaLisa and Francesco, who were very helpful and informative. Free parking available. We were looked after well by Mario in the dining room. The breakfast menu lacked variety, serving the same hot food and fruit (only melon and kiwi were fresh, the rest were canned fruit). The juices were not fresh fruit but from a machine. Lunch and dinner menus were tasty with a good selection. Overall, a nice place to rest and away from the crowds.

Would stay at this hotel again! Loved the easy beach access (i.e., chairs, towels, umbrellas - included). Slightly far from the main town, and the road to walk into town or the tram was not very safe for walking. View was stunning, breakfast had many options, and the staff were beyond incredible!!!

It was old world charming. The perfect place to relax. Night views were incredible. The staff was wonderful. We loved our room. It’s isolated beach front so to get to the center and top of Taormina you have to walk up the road and take the cable car. We loved it! Grazie tanto.

Lovely old style hotel, on a sandy beach. Friendly, helpful staff. Close to taormina by cab or cable car. Boat trip from the beach was a great way to see the coastline, caves and amazing views.
