"The hotel was clean and staff were lovely. Front of house and breakfast team were very helpful and polite. Breakfast was good, great choices (not too many hot options, but that’s Italy:)) great coffee and fresh juices, salami was delish! Room was very spacious with a sea view, we had a family room with 4 beds which was great. Bathroom was clean. Large car park at the back, not sure if it’s paid for, as we didn’t use it. Only down side, there’s no path, pavement leading to the hotel, so it was a bit dangerous walking with kids on a busy road. Hotel is a bit far from the city centre, but there’s Picanello train station nearby which will take you directly to Taormina or Syracuse or you can go to the central station and even go to Palermo."
