“I appreciate that this former ceramics workshop now houses guests in its art deco-style rooms; the architecture alone sets it apart. The rooftop bar seals the deal, offering views of both the sea and Mount Etna. Its central location makes it easy to pop out for a taste of Taormina's vibrant atmosphere.”
