A unique Hotel, offering the old world charm and courtesy of a bye-gone era, combined with the exceptionally friendly caring services of the Hotel Management and Staff.

Our room had a perfect view on Mt. Etna and Giardini Naxos and was relatively quiet, with a big balcony. The furniture is or looks antique but is very well kept and suites its purpose.

I had a decent single & my daughters had a large twin room. The views were magical & the bathroom facilities adequate. We... more

We were unfortunate enough to book a stay at this hote in May, from the website it looked like a grand old fashioned hotel, and being a 4* we had high expections. The hotel would not look out of place in a scene from a Harry Potter movie ! It is far from a grand old fashioned hotel, it is... more
