Brilliant hotel. Very clean, friendly and very informative reception. Good value for money, excellent for couples, amazing Sky Bar. Would go back, highly recommended..great service and right near main Street Corto Umberto
This is a LOVELY hotel. Staff are wonderful. Friendly, helpful, always pleasant and cordial from the room staff upwards. I shall be coming back.
The hotel is a boutique hotel. It is very central just minutes from the city centre shops, bars, cafes and restaurants. It is not especially suited to those who are infirm. There are lots of steps although it is possible to get to the same city area by coming out of the hotel turning left and just walking. At the end you hit several restaurants and by just going left onto the cobbled street and through the archway at this junction takes you down onto the main Corso Umberto and Piazza del Duomo. If you're a spendthrift leave your credit cards at home. The beautiful leather bags and shoes are irresistible there and utterly gorgeous. Do also visit the cathedral and the pretty local churches.
There is no swimming pool and this hotel is B&B only which is absolutely great. The breakfast provided even with Covid restrictions is plentiful and very tasty with more than enough choice and I am Coeliac with nut intollerance. The roof top bar and terrace offer some amazing views and a very pleasant way to wile away the hours day or evening.
If you want to go to the beach it's easily done either independently or through the hotel with collection and return included. I went to Carvella. It cost me 17.50 euros all in for sun bed umbrella and transport to a shingle black vocanic beach with very practical sunbeds. Don't let that beach description put you off its fine and the sea is friendly for swimming. The food at the restaurant there is very good and their Chiara cocktails are way too moreish!
I am a Coeliac with nut intolerance and I have been able to eat without any problems or issues whatsoever everywhere I have visited by having risotto and fish. It is no big deal to be "Sono Celiaco" (masculine) "Sono Celiaca" (feminine) anywhere here in Taomina. Don't have pasta tho.
For gym bunnies there is a gym just 5 minutes walk from the hotel. It's small very compact but perfectly suitable and is 10 euros for 90 minutes. I've been 4 times.
I have had a wonderful week here both in Sicily and this hotel. I'm sorry I didn't book longer but I'm definately coming back next year and providing your pretty able bodied I can't imagine anyone finding difficulties here or fault with this hotel. It's been magical. Thank you everyone for making it so.
Catastrophic! I booked a room at this hotel that was called double room ‘with no view’. I did not require any special view as the terrace had a nice view anyways. When we entered the room it was not only old and ugly, but also the ‘window’ was not really a window as there was already the wall of the next building directly in front of it. It was on the ground -1 and to be honest looked more like a storage room for cleaning stuff than a hotel room. The only unfriendly and unprofessional comment the lady at the reception had, was: that’s why we write ‘no view’ online. As if this would make it any better! ‘No view’ may mean ‘not a special view’ but it does not automatically include having a ‘window’ between 2 walls - so basically no window at all. They should call it ‘room without proper window’ so people know what they are going for. After all we payed almost 90€ which is not super expensive but way too expensive for a room like this. As well they should educate their personnel better. In the tourism industry they should know how to professionally handle customers and to at least talk to them in a respectful way!
Great little hotel in a convenient location. Wonderful staff. Excellent breakfast.
Lovely view from restaurant terrace, varied breakfast choices, excellent cappuccino, well run, friendly, pleasant, roomy rooms, lovely garden court view from room's balcony.
