Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with its large, comfortable rooms offering fabulous views of Mount Etna. The service was exceptional, with staff being incredibly helpful and polite. The location in Castelmola, just above Taormina, was ideal for exploring the area. While the dining experience was a bit disappointing, the facilities were great overall.
The hotel has stunning views of Mount Etna in Castelmola, offering great value for the price. The rooms, though outdated, have unique locations, and the service is top-notch. The dining experience is satisfactory with beautiful views, but limited options. The location provides easy access to both Taormina and Castelmola.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, especially enjoying the magnificent view of Mount Etna from the nice balcony and the peaceful atmosphere. The rooms were comfortable with beds that could be changed upon request, but there was a slight delay in readiness upon arrival. The service was exceptional, with unique antique decor around the corridors, ensuring a memorable experience. The location was perfect for both relaxation and exploration, offering convenient transport options. The dining experience was decent, offering a good variety of options. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel had a mix of antique furniture and interesting old objects in the rooms, providing a unique charm. The view of Etna from the balcony was simply magnificent. The location, with convenient public transport options, made exploring easy, but the dining experience left something to be desired.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were secluded at the bottom of the hill under the hotel and offered spectacular views. Although the room was not quite ready when we arrived, we didn't experience any issues with noise. The service was exceptional, and the staff were friendly, professional, and always on hand to assist. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the charming village of Castelmola with breathtaking views and a great pool area. However, the dining experience was a bit disappointing initially, but later on, it improved with a nice variety of options.
