"This is a lovely place! We had a view of Mt. Etna and the bay. We had our own private terrace. The dining area has beautiful views of the water and the gardens surrounding the property. The food choices were varied. All the staff were friendly and helpful!
There is parking right on the premises. You can walk into town. Be aware that it is an uphill walk."
"This is a lovely, professionally-run hotel. We paid extra for a balcony with a sea view and didn't regret it. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was excellent.
Driving and parking in Taormina is expensive and challenging. We paid 50 euros to park at Porta Pasquale for 3 nights. It's about a 5-10 minute walk downhill from the hotel. People had a really hard time figuring out how to use the parking machine, but eventually everyone did. They need better instructions. "
