This is really a 5 star experience! They have many on-site dining options - all with a lovely view of the Concordia temple. All food was fabulous and featured local, seasonal ingredients.
The resort also has a private entrance to the Valle dei Templi park which allows guests to beat the crowds and enjoy a peaceful walk through pristine nature to reach the temples. I hope to return in the future!
The hotel is located in the heart of the city centre and is located in the heart of the city centre. I would like to point out that I was surprised by the kindness and availability of all the staff, no one excluded, which is not expected.
The room was very compact, but the staff were very helpful. The view from the balcony was beautiful, and it was a wonderful stay. The hotel was close to the main street, so I was able to go back to the hotel and rest. All the tourist sites in Taormina, including the bus terminal, are within walking distance. If I visit Taormina again, I would like to use this hotel again.
First and foremost, a 4-star hotel should have an insulation system. We basically could even hear the room next door opening their luggage.. awful.
Apart from that (which is a big minus), the pool is cool, parking is free, staff friendly, breakfast decent.
Food options are pricey and limited.
A sumptuous Paradise with undeniable splendor...between sky and earth and the sea for Horizon...all in a cozy atmosphere, where the simple but present comfort allows you to make the most of this charming establishment..the swimming pool is magnificent and the latomies offer a spectacular backdrop..
The staff is discreet and smiling, the breakfast essential and complete..what can I say?
Thank you for this Totally Relaxed stay
Not renovated, but in a very good position. Sufficiently uncomfortable beds, little sound-insonorization heating poorly functioning. The worse side of breakfast with low quality and little assortment.

I think the location is different depending on the purpose, but it was good for me. The large space in the suburbs was pleasant. The hotel was new and there was no problem. The staff is very kind and thank you for your 1 day trip to Valletta.
A very cost-effective hotel with its own underground parking lot (free). Before checking in, park the car at the main entrance of the hotel (you can temporarily park). After getting the room card, you can swipe the room card to lift the pole into the underground parking lot (the entrance and exit are all that), the hotel has a good restaurant, The door (really the door) is the gas station, and the large supermarket is next door.
The room is clean, tidy and spacious, and there is a single bed at the entrance, so it is also suitable for three people to travel and live.
The breakfast is rich and delicious, and the best choice for Modica next time.

The hotel is located at the very end of the main street. For those taking the bus up the mountain, you'll need to walk about 1.2 kilometers to reach the hotel. Although old, the common areas have been largely renovated and are well-maintained. The high ceilings make for a comfortable and pleasant experience, and the staff are friendly. I even had a room tour of my single room. The hotel's extra services are above four-star standards, including a spa, lunch, bar, and dinner (though I didn't try them).
The guest area inside the room looked older, but it was spacious enough. It came with a small terrace with a sea view. The bathroom seemed renovated, and the fixtures were relatively new.
The Western breakfast was standard, with smoothies available. (I was confused because it didn't include breakfast when booking, but I was told it was included when I checked in.)
The hotel has a small garden with a beautiful pool at the end.
By the way, the city tax is a bit steep, at 4 euros per person per night.

ЕЕLena VasilenkoThe best chain of hostels ever
A wonderful large area, a swimming pool, a roof top, recreation areas, a welcome drink, friendly and fun administrators. Everything is perfect, every little thing 😍🫶 I stayed there for 4 nights, but I would have liked to stay longer, because every evening the administration organized either ping-pong competitions or “speed daiting”, you will definitely not get bored there, because the hostel is full of young people
But this option is definitely not suitable for those who are used to going to bed early and falling asleep in silence, there is no time for sleep, but by one o'clock in the morning everything calms down :)

TThanyalakWe stayed for 2 nights and kind of got a different experience on both nights.
It was in the summer time during weekday stay.
On the first evening we ate at the restaurant and it was very good set menu and food. There was also a party in house. So we decided to eat again the next dinner but turned out we were the only guest staying that night and were the only one dining in…. So food was not so great compared to night before.ore basic and simple dishes.
But it’s understandable, when the chef has to prepare meal just for us….
The place is busier in the weekend with locals.
And some days the pool is packed with people who joined for the day-pass.
Activities advertised on Facebook for children are also mostly on the weekend.. again we had a baby and felt a bit disappointing while we were there for the lack of activities during the weekday.
The grounds are lovely tho, garden, vineyards, olive trees, swimming pool.
GGuest UserThe room has an unbeatable sea view, facing the sea with flowers blooming in spring, and you can also see the misty Mount Etna in the distance. The hotel is halfway up the mountain. It is a bit expensive to take a taxi from the train station to the mountain for 25 euros. Young people without large luggage can try hiking or taking the bus. The uncle at the front desk is very friendly. The sleeping bag left in the room by my companion was immediately delivered. I stayed for two nights. It is suitable for a daze vacation
CCourtneyWe had a fantastic stay at this quirky little boutique hotel in Palermo, Sicily. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Even though we showed up earlier than planned, they had no problem letting us in and went out of their way to accommodate us.
We were offered a massive breakfast completely free of charge while we waited, which was such a generous touch. Not only that, but we were also invited to relax by the pool until our rooms were ready — a perfect way to unwind after traveling.
The atmosphere of the place is relaxed and a bit offbeat in the best possible way — full of personality and charm. It’s rare to find a place where the customer service feels this genuine. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a warm, welcoming, and slightly unconventional stay in Palermo!

GGuest UserWe were there two months ago and now we returned with our daughter especially for the wellness center, the only difference and that compared to before it was unlimited now is 70 minutes and we have to do everything quickly. Clean but small rooms and the third bed was a bed chair, excellent breakfast with wonderful view, recommended.
