This unusual hotel is built on the slope of a high, steep bank with an entrance on the top floor (8th) and guest rooms on the lower floors accessed by a lift. The location affords fantastic panoramic views of Naxos Bay, the Ionian Sea and Mount Etna and each bedroom has a sea view, most with a balcony or terrace. It’s central position allows easy access (2-minutes’ walk - partly up a steep driveway) to Corso Umberto I, Taormina’s main shopping street and a short 2 minute journey by cable-car takes guests down to Mazzaro’s beach resort and its sand/shingle bays. The hotel is elegantly furnished with exotic warm woods, plush fabrics and exuberant plants.
There is a large panoramic pool that gives the sensation of being suspended above the sea and a T-Grill restaurant onsite.
Taormina’s historic city centre allows you to discover the charm of classical antiquity that has been conserved in buildings like the Greco-Roman Theatre and is also a great base from which to visit many of Sicily’s great treasures dotted along its eastern coastline as far afield as the stunning Aeolian Islands situated off the north-east coast.
