The absolutely perfect place to stay in Taormina. Last year my wife and I visited Taormina however came down with food poisoning so didn't really see much of the city. Previously we had an Air B&B near the north gate. Knowing somewhat of the city and that we would like the ability to escape from the hustle & bustle at a point, we were looking for a hotel slightly out the way and with a pool. And boy were we not dissapointed, On google maps, the hotel looks a little out the way from the main drag where the bars and food are. However with the shuttle service which the hotel puts on, turns the 30 minute walk into a 5 minute drive with everything on your doorstep, whilst not taking away the ability to sit round the pool in peace and quiet relaxing. The room we had was absolutely gorgeous, with a patio offering great views of Mt.Etna. Upon returning from dinner one evening with a bottle of undrunken wine, my wife & I sat on the patio until the small hours looking at the Volcano with a glass or 3 of wine. The food provided by the onsite restaurant is both exceptionally tasty and well-priced (much like the bar - fully recommend the raspberry spritz). The restaurant is perfect for lunch over looking the pool and volcano before getting back to your book and lying in the sun around the pool. The pool is fantastic. Due to the size of the hotel and the number of guests, it is never over crowded and you are always able to find a sunbed no matter the time of day. I couldn't imagine a better place to stay in Taormina than here, and at the cost it feels an absolute steal. You have the ability to be in the city within 5 minute courtesy of the shuttle for spritz, dinner and drinks and have the ability to feel a million miles away from the tourists around a wonderful pool.
