“Rooms offer balconies framing sea views, a definite highlight. Its location on the edge of Taormina means that you're a short walk from the center and close to the bus station. I particularly appreciate the building's history as a former monastery, a tangible connection to the area's past.”

The valet parking was definitely worth it! The Lumbi car park is a short walk away and much safer than street parking.

i enjoyed my three nights. the staff greeted me with smiles each morning at breakfast. i found the standard double room clean upon my arrival. i liked the convenience of having valet parking available daily.
