This is the best view of Taormina you can get with 5 star service- perfect for our honeymoon. We upgraded and got the big balcony room and it was worth every penny! 10 min walk down hill to town, 20 mins to isola Bella (unless you take the bus and/or cable car). But after many big meals we usually opted for the exercise. Denise at check in was a total doll- we got in late, she gave us the lay of the land and even ordered us food from a restaurant. Valentina at breakfast was so welcoming and I must say that the breakfast spread had us full until dinner. The room was much bigger than it looked online. Everything was really perfect and I would highly recommend staying here. We did look at other places near town, but due to how touristy the main strip is, I was so happy to be tucked away from it. We also looked at places right on the water but if you are down there then you don’t get as good of a view of the town below Mt Etna. Our stay here was the highlight of our honeymoon. You can do tons of day trips all over if you treat this as your home base.
