    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating
    • Free Wi-Fi

    You get a great location at this place – it’s just a short walk to the beach or a quick cable car to Taormina.

    This hotel is set on a hillside, just a few minutes’ walk down some steps to Mazzaro’s shingle beach. And you’re right by the cable car, which will have you in central Taormina in five minutes.

    The hotel has two roof gardens with sun terraces, and you can use the rooftop pool at sister hotel, the Ipanema. The restaurant serves a buffet breakfast, while other meals are available at the Villa Bianca Principe restaurant.

    They market them as 3 or even 4 star hotel but in reality it is more like 1 to 2 stars depending how lucky you are with rooms, our first room was so unclean so we needed to change it after 2 night and even then they did blame us for it. Breakfast was simple but enough, lunch was horrible as it can get, view was good that's why 1 extra point. I suggest pay little extra to avoid this place.
    great location! amazing view

    Were visiting this beautiful hotel for one week july 2019. The hotel is split up in two different buildings, where there is 226 steps to reach the top of the highest building, it can be tough for people that dont have good knees or have other healthproblems. But, the view is amazing, and maybe worth it! :) If you are lucky you can get a room in the lower 5 floor building with elevator :) The rooms are not new, but in good condition. The beds are not the softest, but ok. The cleaning is very good! The staff is very friendly, serviceminded and helpful. We wish there was a pool, but the hotel has their own bus to a nice beachclub 5 min from the hotel. There is also nice beaches 3 min walk from the hotel (more steps), recomends shoes for bathing because of the stones in the water. We will be back next year and considering other hotels, but because of the good cleaning and nice staff we have decided we will stay here at the same hotel :) We love this hotel :)

    First impression was so bad that i thought our visit there will be tragedy. In the begining the old man on reception treated us like in prison. It has nothing to do with 4-stars hotel. He gave us a maunal signs to rush because he is SO BUSY (and bossy). He wasnt even try to smile during all our visit. He totally doesn't undarstand even simple words in English (man in RECEPTION - God...). Even cleaning ladies know engish better than him. Wi-fi works only in reception. Huge fees duting checkout, we paid 49euros resort tax, the guy couldn't even tell us what we payin, only write number on card "shut up and pay me". I had to google - what was that. Horrible meals. Everyday the same s*ity products. Cleaning ladies interrupting on 8 o'clock. Then they even didnt ask and clean room whenever they want. Horrible, small and bad smelling bathroom. No swimming pool nearby, we have to go everyday to other hotel ipanema. Air conditioning was broken down. The only positive is good localisation.
    Great hotel, close to sea and cable car to town.

    My room overlooked the bay _ fantastic dawn views. This hotel is two minutes walk from the cable car to the town 6 euro return, and 30 seconds to the bus stop. A deal with another local hotel means you can take a return shuttle to a private beabh. inicluding entry, for 10 euro per day.
