There was a bottle of Sicilian wine waiting for us on the table when we arrived which was a nice touch. Can't beat the newer roof deck with the great views. There is a little traffic noise that comes in through the windows, but we had no problem going to sleep. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. The fairly recent updates were great and the location near the Messina Portal was excellent! We would love to stay there again if we make it back to Taormina!
