[A vacation hotel with an unbelievably beautiful ocean view]
This is a fantastic hotel overlooking Isola Bella, Sicily's renowned sea and cove. While it's a little far from Taormina's old town (center), requiring a cable car or shuttle bus for transportation, its proximity to this beautiful beach makes it the perfect vacation spot.
The reception staff were also friendly and hospitable, providing maps of Taormina and recommending nearby restaurants.
As for the room, I stayed in a single room (ocean view) for two nights. The room was minimal, with no space to spread out luggage. Additionally, the bathroom (shower stall only) was only large enough for one adult to stand upright, making it difficult to stretch out or squat. Washing was a bit of a challenge. Also, just before checkout, I discovered bed bugs on my bed 😱 I hope I wasn't bitten... Additionally, the hotel faces a busy road, so even with the windows closed, you can hear the sound of cars driving by late at night and early in the morning, so noise-suffering guests should be aware of this. However, the room was equipped with a compact balcony overlooking the sea, complete with simple chairs and a table. While the balcony itself was shared with the neighboring room via a partition, the view itself was fantastic, and we spent some time there every morning.
Breakfast was served every morning from 7:30am until 10:30am, and consisted of a basic menu of various breads, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes, cheese, ham, etc. The view from the terrace seating in the breakfast area was just as spectacular as the room itself.
In conclusion, although the room's facilities and cleanliness were lacking, it was an excellent stay in all other respects.
