This hotel exceeded my expectations. It is rated as a 3 star hotel but it definitely deserves 4 or even 5 stars. All the staff at reception including Dario, Sabrina and Marya welcomed us warmly and were always available for everything we needed and with a smile too. Can't praise them all enough. The newly renovated rooms are beautiful and spotless just like all the hotel: very comfortable beds and pillows, great shower, heated towel rail, slippers, fluffy towels. I cannot fault anything in the room. The breakfast was one of the best I had in Italy. it included a mix of sweet and savoury dishes including eggs, bacon, cold cuts, a variety of salads including artichokes, marinated mushrooms, tomatoes, olives, sundried tomatoes etc. The cakes and mini kannoli the stuffing of which was separate were all very good. An endless array of fresh fruit was also available and the usual cereals, bread, yogurts etc. The breakfast staff were very helpful too and I must also mention Filippo, Jonathan , Enrico and all the others at the bar. The Etna and rest of Taormina view from the breakfast room and terrace is spectacular and one can just gaze in awe for ages. The garden provided a short cut to the Piazza Duomo in just three minutes. Thank you for a very pleasant and relaxing stay. I thoroughly recommend it.
