“In my opinion, this hotel certainly aims for a high standard with its views of Mount Etna and proximity to Taormina, enhanced by a complimentary shuttle service. However, some aspects such as dated decor and reports of thin walls suggest that certain elements may not fully align with expectations for the price, in my opinion.
It seems like a good choice for travelers prioritizing location and views.”
