About the Location
The east-coast town of Taormina has a bit of a split personality. The upper part of town is all glitz and glam, with designer boutiques lining cobbled streets and a fantastic restaurant scene. Up here is where you’ll find the majority of Taormina’s sights – medieval churches, centuries-old towers and the well-preserved Greek amphitheatre. The Corso Umberto I is the centre of activity, with a myriad of small streets and alleyways threading off the main thoroughfare.
A cable car links the upper town with Taormina Mare, where you’ll find a handful of bars, shops and restaurants, plus a shingle beach. Across the Gulf of Naxos is Mount Etna – a trip to this towering volcano is a must while you’re in Sicily, although you’ll be able to enjoy standout views of it from all over Taormina.

Fantastic location, best sea facing hotel in Taormina. Amazing staff, very welcoming especially Francesco, Gesuela and Angela, made our stay very memorable. The sea facing rooms have a breath taking view, they are spotless and the service is really great. We enjoyed an aperitif in the evening close to the pool area, right in front of the sea.. I can ensure it's a very romantic spot! I was very pleased with my stay and I hope to be back for a longer visit next time.

Having spent some time with friends in Umbria, we decided to come to Sicily as it was on our bucket list. We drove in from Catania and were met by the front office staff with an upgrade. All the rooms looked fabulous but this was a pleasant surprise.The accommodations were excellently decorated and provided everything we could possibly want. We needed to have some laundry done - on a Sunday - and found that, although not inexpensive - we had our clothes back within a couple hours.
All the staff contributed to our wellbeing. Alessia and Francesco at the front desk helped with some logistics and Angela, the concierge, did a great job finding restaurants and wineries. It takes a village.
The restaurant provides an outstanding breakfast with virtually everything you could imagine. My one complaint - dinner in the hotel was by far the most expensive meal we ate in Sicily, and other restaurants served food equally as good. Altogether it was a "10".

We stayed at this amazing resort two years ago and loved it. The location can???t be beat, on a quiet cove with fantastic views and a short walk to the funicular. We returned this year to find it had undergone a remodel and it was even more beautiful than before! Every area of the property is set up to afford sweeping views of the bay from the al fresco breakfast to the glassed in gym. There is great detailing all through the property to give the atmosphere of ancient ruins, although extremely luxurious.
I can???t recommend the property enough and plan on returning next year if not 2020.
