This is one of our favourite hotels. Guiseppe and his staff are especially hospitable and attentive, and the ambience is of an exquisite private home rather than an hotel.
The breathtaking views are well complemented by the sleepy pace of the village, and yet the attractions of Taormina and the beach are easily accessible.
