Perfect hotel for a Taormina stay

Perfect location for everything, very comfortable hotel with lovely staff and fantastic breakfast. Gorgeous large room and nice balcony. The roof terrace has a great view of Etna. It was quiet on a Wednesday evening but imagine with the DJ would be great at weekends. Loved the 80s and 90s tunes! Feels quite luxurious but not snooty like some of the other hotels in this town. Would definitely come back

Had an amazing stay at Hotel Continental! Located very close to the main shopping street/old town Taromina. Only criticism we had is the rooftop music was extremely loud and went on very late (well past midnight) which kept us awake sadly. Apart from that our stay was amazing but unfortunately the noise would put us off staying again!
