Good location, close to the beach, but quite a walk with a lot of stairs to the Taormina city, not for elderly or families with young children (better use a shuttle bus). Parking is easy to find on the side of a road. Staff is super friendly and with a lot of insight info. Good breakfast with lots of variety and all is local. Great accomodation!

An amazing hotel. Our room had fantastic views of the sea and Mt Etna. We got here on a day that Mt Etna was erupting and had superb views of the lava fountains shooting out of the top of the mountain. The team at the hotel were great and engaging with the guests. A short stroll into the old town centre and access to all places of interest close by. The hotel has a private beach club at Letojanni, which was great. We will stay here again when we visit.

Lovely place in front of the sea, beautiful sunrise. Breakfast was delicious: bread, cheese, ham, tomato, different pizzas, fruits, yoghurt, different kind of sweet things, juices, lot of everything - we loved it. We could eat outside and watch the sunrise. Nearby the main beach and restaurants, bus leaves to Taormina only 100m away. Hotel was clean, Aircon and wifi worked very well and stuff was helpful. New hotel, take the balcony with seaview!

The Hotel was just lovely. Such nice surrounding, with lots of greenery and all the property was very clean. The pool area was our favorite with the view to Etna and with all the lemon trees around it. We also had a room with the view to the pool and Etna, which was really nice. The stay felt really private since we were always alone by the pool although there were other people at the hotel also. Breakfast was really good and there was an option to order warm meals also. Absolutely loved our stay and would have wanted to stay even longer.

    The hotel is beautiful and offers excellent wellness facilities. The rooms are a bit simple for a 4-star hotel, but this is quite common in Italy. Still, they have everything you need, and the bed was very comfortable! The hotel’s private parking lot was very convenient — we always found a space for our car. There are nice restaurants and bars within walking distance, and the meeting point for Etna tours is just a short 20-minute drive away. Overall, a great stay!

There is a very nice beach right below the hotel. There was a possibility to have early breakfast when we needed to leave the hotel earlier in the morning. The view from the balcony was very nice. Check out was until noon, which was also very convenient.

    Lovely vibrant town with stunning views, and an abundance of places to eat,drink and shop. The local bus station was convenient for travel to other parts of sicily either on your own or with a tour. The Bam Bar, la Neopolitan pizza restaurant and Ristaronte da Nino must be tried to be be believed.

    The town is wonderful and filled with history. we where lucky enough to visit during their carnival, which is something special especially with children. Even the locals are wonderful, mornings in the piazza's are like from a movie, time moving slowly and everyone talking to each other over a coffee. I loved it and looking forward to visit again.

    A very nice town, I particularly like the climate, not hot, humid but not too humid. Many options to walk, eat etc. Very close to Aetna and Catania. I do have to want though that Italians in Sicily (don't know about the rest of Italy) are complete Gypsies! They will try to take your money using any trick they can think of! They make you pay for parking (e.g. in Palermo) and for toilets! When you sit in a restaurant or café, they charge you for the service - and if you just take away, they charge you again! In the airport with Ryanair, they made us pay 46 euro to carry the same suitcase we have been carrying in Ryanair from any other destination for free, including the flight to reach Sicily! Ancient Greek spots are too expensive - more than 10 euros each, more expensive than the Acropolis! To visit Aetna's peak with a guide needs 120 euros per person, plus another 55 if you want to see some extra landforms! So be prepared to experience the worst driving behaviour, illegal driving and road network conditions I've seen in all countries I've been to so far! Full of useless roundabouts, signs don't exist in English anywhere, and the network is too confusing for a first timer, even if he is Italian.

    This is a nice little town on the slopes of Etna and is especially convenient for visiting the Volcano. It is also close to the eastern coast of Sicily and its beaches whilst various tourist attractions are nearby. A car is almost essential though as public transport from the town is only by bus.

    If you are looking for an area that is less touched by tourism but still with plenty of facilities in resort, you can not go wrong. Public transport can take you into Catania (about 40 mins) for historical visit and choice of shopping experiences, but the long flat promenade, excellent restaurants. We dinned mostly at Pellegrino Pizzeria as the stay are so friendly, very good food and very reasonable prices. Walking between AciTrezza and AciCastello is very easy for a change of scenery and there are wide choices of boat trips from the harbour. There are also several diving companies for those looking to go under the water rather than view it on top.

    Aci Castello (AC) is located a 15 minute drive from central Catania and therefore is out of the fray, as we say. The AC promenade has stunning scenery and south of AC is home to many lidos i.e., beach resorts. AC is close to Catania City Center, Mt. Etna and Taormina, three must-see attractions. You will need to rent a car or motor scooter as there looked to be very little public transportation in the AC area.

    Giarre and neighbouring Riposto are unspoilt small towns with few tourists. We were the only foreigners wherever we ate. La Tavernetta was our favourite. The seafood market in Riposto was a perfect source for the meals we cooked in our suite. Driving in Sicily is fun as long as you copy the locals. Use Apple maps for navigation - Google maps was useless.
