Hostels in Sicily

"This past visit July 2025 will mark our third consecutive summer stay at this gem of a hotel. We continue to enjoy the spacious accommodations and friendly staff. Like a sightly faded beauty, this 50 something year old hotel certainly can use an update , and we have been advised that is in progress. However you cannot beat the spaciousness and slightly faded grandeur of this beautiful property. The hotel is situated on what I believe to be one the ‘most’ gorgeous and picturesque of the entire Taormina area. The private grotto beach and pool areas are spectacular as is the view of Mount Etna from the buffet breakfast terrace. "

"Very helpful staff, quirky and comfortable room, tastefully furnished. Also good breakfast and other hotel amenities, such as free use of bikes."

"Very happy with my stay at the property and l like to pay a compliment to Virgilio took care of us very well may I stay beautiful"

"Staff and personnel went above and beyond to ensure our stay was wonderful. They were helpful, making reservations, finding us a boat to take out for the day. Everything about this hotel is amazing. The rooms and the food were both beautiful! We will back soon! "

"We had such a great stay here. The room was so stylish and comfortable, and the staff were so helpful in showing us how to get around Palermo. Everywhere we wanted to go was in 20-30 mins walking distance which was perfect. Thanks to Fillipo who got in touch before our stay via WhatsApp and book us transport from the airport which was super helpful. "

"Unusal, quirky decor but a great hotel! Staff friendly and helpful, very clean, beds incredibly comfortable and a brilliant pool area. Breakfast quite basic (extra charge for fried eggs or omelette) and restaurant pricey as often is the case in hotels. Not central to Catania but lovely to be away from the craziness so you can relax. Good bus options to the town, or further up the coast. "

"Beautiful views!!! Great food and location!! Highly recommended!! "

"very close to the centre.Lovely pool"

"Great location with several dining options. Quick drive to Taormina or Naxos beach. Beach is a little too rocky for small children but we anticipated that. Hotel staff were very helpful and parking is monitored just a down the street. "
