Dear Customer,the purpose of the reviews should be to give an honest evaluation of the property, we are sorry but there is nothing honest in your review.You booked a double room for 2 people and 2 of you showed up, but then after check-in you went to the room but there were 4 adults. Our staff rightly pointed out to you that the reservation was for 2 adults only, you admitted that you had booked 1 double room for 2 adults with us and another double room in another hotel.You probably resented the fact that the staff realized that there were 4 of you and that toycouldn't get the other 2 people into the room secretly.Our beds, in all our rooms are extremely confortable.We will ask Expedia to delete your review as there is nothing correct or truthful on it.Regards.Fabrizio MilazzoHotel Manager

Not as described !
Agree with previous reviews - this property is not as good as it looks or sounds. The photos are from beach clubs across the road and the hotel is definitely not 4 star. The safe is not safe, the lift does not go to the room door, and there is no parking other than street parking - which was a critical part of our criteria to stay. Luckily we had only booked one night so we moved up the road to a new hotel.

Dear Wendy,Honestly we don't understand what you're complaining about, nowhere do we indicate that we have private parking but Hotel guests can park along the street (plenty of spaces specially out of the peak season) for free (perhaps you should have read the hotel services better before booking). The lift reaches all floors, only for 3 rooms you have to go down 4 steps from the first floor and go up 3 to get to these 3 rooms (we don't understand what's so negative about it, moreover our staff is always at your complete disposal to help all guests with their luggage). For the rest we don't understand and say again what you're complaining about, at this point maybe we're the ones saying: "thank goodness you only stayed with us only one night".Greetings.Fabrizio MilazzoHotel Manager

Perfect location to explore the Taormina area. Tina was absolutely wonderful. She was there to help me with every question I had. Just a wonderful stay! The hotel was clean, breakfast was perfect with a great variety, the atmosphere was charming and the beach club across the street was perfect. I enjoyed sipping my cocktails in the afternoon and having a beautiful sea view for dinner.

Deceiving Pictures & Terrible Beds
Hotel shouldn’t be listed as 4 stars and I don’t know how the reviews were so high. It is over-priced (but maybe all of Taormina?) and then you are charged extra for a beach chair AND even a pool towel! the pictures are deceiving… half of them are taken across the road, making this not in fact, beach front property. the pool area is very small and closed in, not like the pictures. But the worst part were the beds. HARD AS ROCKS. Nice staff a 20 minute drive to downtown.

Nice place for a couple of days.
Comfortable hotel close to the seafront. Across the street from restos and the beach club. Easy to get to Taormina Stn by train but a pain to get to the town by bus.

Terrible experience
Unfortunately we had very bad experience in the hotel. We were supposed to be in a room with partial see view. We were put in a room with window towards the road which was extremely noisy. The room was warm so we had to either open the window or turn on the air conditioning. In both scenarios it was impossible to sleep due to the bad noise coming from the street or the air conditioning. The elevator could not be used at all as you get the feeling that you will get stuck in it due to its extreme slowness. The room was also extremely basic and below the 4 star hotel standards. Hence we were supposed to stay 4 nights but due to the bad noise we had difficulties sleeping and we checked out 2 days earlier and we expected that we will be reimbursed for the last 2 nights as the booking was prepaid in advance but the hotel refused to give us back the money. I would rate the experience in this hotel one of the worst I have ever had in a hotel and in addition I think the hotel is highly overpriced. I do not recommend it.

Dear Mrs Veselka,we thank you for being our guests, we are sorry that you did not like our hotel, unlike all the rest of our guests.What you write, let us say, is not at all correct. The air conditioning works very well and makes no noise, we checked with her husband and stayed in the room for several minutes to check. All the French windows of all the hotel rooms are up to standard and soundproofed, so it was enough to keep them closed during the night. We have made ourselves available to show you other rooms with both side sea view and front sea view, but you absolutely did not want to see other solutions.We therefore do not understand why we should have reimbursed your stay.You probably realized that you didn't want to stay in our hotel, maybe you were looking for something else .......GreetingsFabrizio MilazzoHotel Manager

Nydelig lite hotell ved kysten av Sicilia
Vi hadde en fantastisk uke på dette hotellet, på et rom med sjøutsikt. Rett ved stranden. Det var helt nydelig, fint rom, grei plass til en familie på tre. Flott beach Club og nydelig mat. Personalet var supre, og hjalp oss med alt vi ønsket og mer. Kommer absolutt til å dra tilbake neste gang hi besøker vakre Sicilia!
