From the moment of our arrival until departure, we were greeted and treated by the most friendly, knowledgeable and attentive staff. The hotel itself was well appointed and updated with spacious rooms and very comfortable beds. All amenities you needed in the room were there. We had a breathtaking panoramic view of Taormina and the ocean from our balcony. The included breakfast was delicious with many offerings to choose from. The location was perfectly situated, just slightly off the beaten path, but very walkable to all the shops and restaurants. All the staff were exceptional, but I need to give a special thank you to Angelo, doorman extraordinaire, who somehow always appeared whenever you needed him, always friendly and eager to help. Also, to Sarah, the hotel’s concierge, who always had a smile on her face and made exceptional arrangements and recommendations. It is because of them that our stay exceeded our expectations and we would welcome the opportunity to return.
