Ricardo and his staff are what makes this traditional sicilian style hotel. They are so friendly and go out of their way to be helpful. The hotel room was super clean, with a stocked fridge at the same prices as the bar, which is very refreshing in its self. The room comes with and safe and looked newly refurbished with a massive bathroom that had a great shower. Loved the pool too. The hotel was close to all amenities, bars, restaurants and shops, which were all walkable . Thanks to Ricardo and his lovely staff we had a great stay in Taormina. Would definitely stay again.
