Luxury hotels and resorts

We really enjoyed our stay. Mr Fabianno and Barbara were extremely helpful and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble and whenever we wanted help or advice both were only to happy to give it. We would certainly recommend this place highly to anyone else wishing to stay in or around Taormina. There were only one or two issues. It is not easy to find - even with a satnav. The climb from the apartments into Taormina on foot is only for the healthy (or those wishing to become very fit). Otherwise it is VERY well appointed, has beautiful views, is very private and relaxing and Mr Fabianno is the perfect owner and host. J Gell and Family - May 2012

Excellent hotel. Lovely set up with good facilities. The room was lovely and breakfast was superb with lots of options for pastries and cooked items. The staff were lovely and could not have been more helpful with queries.There were a couple of things which could have made the stay even better. 1. The pool got v crowded with young families and it felt as though the hotel needed a second, adult only pool which would have allowed couples without children to relax without interruption. 2. The restaurant was good for dinner but v formal with 3 tasting menus and a v formal a la carte menu. It felt as though it would have been appropriate to have lighter/ less formal options on the menu too. It would have encouraged us to eat at the restaurant for dinner more than once over the week. 3. For a hotel focused on being 'Eco', it would have been appropriate to have water refilling stations to encourage the use of reusable water bottles. Instead, guests were forced to buy bottled water. It did not seem aligned to their mission statement. 4. The gym was v small and needs to be expanded and improved to offer more cardio and weights options.

Chef Georgio is brilliant!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay generally. The only reservations concerned the accommodation - the beds were quite uncomfortable. We were unaware that we would pay for tennis, which is fine to an extent except the tennis courts and raquets were in a dreadful state. We were also over-charged for our taxi from the airport to the hotel having previously agreed a fare with the hotel at the time of booking.
