The views and surrounding landscape are absolutely top-notch. Both the breakfast and buffet dinner were excellent, and the hotel's location is very convenient, with the city center within walking distance. However, the guest rooms are in need of renovation, particularly Room 519 where I stayed on my first night. The air conditioning unit was extremely loud, and the fan speed could not be adjusted. In addition, the shower drain did not function properly, causing water to accumulate during use.

Hotel was good overall Location is really great with Taormina's main high street areas 10 min walk away The pool area is also so nice with beautiful views of the surrounding hills However, the public areas really need attention, as the reception, lobby, dining areas, bedroom corridors and lift etc . . . are terrible and look like they have not been updated since the 1960s Not being able to use the pool until 9.30 and after 6 pm is also rather annoying Breakfast is good though Also bad advice given by the hotel in terms of car parking - leading to a close on crash encounter with a nearby motorbike
