This hotel is situated at the bottom of the road leading up to Taormina so a car is essential if you want to visit Taormina (although we heard there is a bus). This was an ideal location for us. It's out of the commercialism of Taormina but still very close. The staff is very accommodating and our room was beautiful, clean, and quiet with a balcony and view of the sea. Parking was essential for us and they have free parking right at the hotel. Breakfast was very good, one of the best we had while in Sicily. Giardini Naxos, where the hotel is actually closer to, is right on the water and very nice for walks on the beach or eating in a restaurant with a water view. GN is not as nice or touristy as Taormina but eating there is a good alternative if you want to eat less expensively. For us it worked out well to spend the day in Taormina taking in the sights but then going to GN for dinner.
