Province of Messina Ski Resorts

The property was very comfy for two - the nice living room with sofa chairs and a dining table had a double bed off it, but we did not need that as there were only two of us. The separate double bedroom was very comfortable and a good size. The kitchen was stocked with things like coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, and also some milk, fruit and cake snacks, which was nice. When we did want to buy other things, there are four or five mini-markets within walking distance to buy bread, arancini, cheese, beer, etc.Before we got there, I was a bit confused as to how we got in, but Carmelo arranged to meet us and was there promptly. The flat shares an entrance with the Mendolia Beach Hotel, and is on the third floor. The terrace to the apartment was just as large as it looks in the photos, and has some lovely plants on it, including a lemon tree. We spent lots of time out there enjoying the view. A great place to stay.

Reservation did not include breakfast

Beautiful view of Isola Bella from property. Hotel is very dated, but clean and the staff are very pleasant and helpful. Know that you are not near the center of Taormina and must take cable car to get to it.

I don’t think it’s worth the money. People who aren’t guests take up the facilities, lack of service in the “bars”, no light lunch menu or pool service. Room turn down doesn’t take place until after 4pm often conflicting with the time you want to return to your room for the day. Breakfast is very good and staff are friendly but seem overstretched. Doesn’t live up to what it advertises I’m afraid. Would stay somewhere else.

No notes - best views, impeccable service, spotless rooms, incredible breakfast. We had the best stay and highly recommend.

Everything was wonderful, the staff, the room and hotel. All perfect.
