About the location
Holidays in Taormina marry history and culture to form an unforgettable experience in Italy. It’s perched at the top of Monte Tauro in the foothills of Mount Etna on Sicily’s Eastern coastline, between the cities of Catania and Messina. This ancient town offers visitors a view into the past with a number of elegantly preserved historic treasures, from the grand Greek-Roman Theatre to the equally impressive Palazzo Corvaja, which are just waiting to be discovered.
You don’t have to be a history buff to make the most of everything Taormina has to offer. Alongside the historical sights there are plenty of other attractions to take in. The main street, Corso Umberto, is traffic free and home to an array of shops and restaurants to rival any in the bigger cities.
There are also plenty of seaside activities to dive into thanks to the town’s coastal setting. Adventurous travellers can try watersports like wind surfing and snorkelling, while relaxing scenic boat tours around the gorgeous capes and grottos of the Ionian Sea allow you to explore at your own pace. Alternatively, simply spend long tranquil days on sun soaked shingle beaches.
Transfer time
The hotel is 1 hour from Catania airport. Return private transfers included. To change your transfers or book car hire instead, simply call us once you’ve completed your booking.

Besides the fact that on the outside the hotel looks spectacular, even on the inside everything is set up to the last detail.
Everything is very clean and sanitized, the hosts very welcoming and the service offered is definetely worth 5 stars, especially the staff who take care of the well-being of each client. I did a few massage sessions and I want to thank Elena in this way because she has golden hands. I am very impressed by the professionalism she showed and by the whole team.
Definetely if visiting I would recommend. I declare myself in love with this place.

We loved this hotel - beautiful views, modern big rooms (deluxe), lovely service with old world charm and unobtrusive efficiency. We had interconnecting rooms for a family of 4, each with a balcony. The pool is a lovely size and Dario at the poolside merits a special shout-out for being so helpful with moving our loungers around to escape the sun. The spa is lovely, great massage, food delicious... and a shuttle bus takes you to Taormina centre and back with notice of just one hour needed. All in all a wonderful place to spend a holiday and we will be back.

From the moment we arrived, we loved this hotel. Admittedly, it was off season and during the Covid pandemic, but the hotel was very comfortable, the staff were attentive, the room with the terrace overlooking the sea was spectacular and the level of cleanliness was excellent.
