This is a really nice quirky hotel. The reception is at street level, but the rooms are down-stairs. There is no lift so if you are not too mobile it is probably not the place for you. It does however, have parking, a bonus in Taormina, and a pool. There is also some natural shade around the pool for the hotter times of the day. The rooms are very pleasant and clean, the shower worked very well and there was lots of hot water. Breakfast was really good with a decent choice at the buffet. The staff though are lovely, its a family run place and all of them are so pleasant and helpful, can't praise them enough. I would readily return.
