This was the ideal hotel for our first trip to Sicily. The location was perfect - across from the train station, so great for our journeys from Palermo and day trip to Taormina. The hotel staff were friendly and extremely helpful. Angelo, checked and printed off the train timetable for our trip to Taormina without us even asking. Our room was comfortable and kept in pristine condition by the cleaning staff. The shower was hand held but powerful, which we liked, however, the shower cubicle with sliding doors was a bit tight in terms of space. The reception area was welcoming and brightly furnished with several attractive
mirrors, arm chairs and sofas. Breakfast was good with a variety of cakes, croissants, toast ,cereals, jams etc. A boiled egg was also part of the selection as well as cheese, ham and fresh fruit, We liked the pretty teapots and egg cups! Another plus was the close proximity to the beach, ten minutes walk and in the opposite direction five minutes walk and we were in the the town centre which felt safe at night lots of families out until quite late. Numerous restaurants and cafes as well as places of interest - beautiful all round! We would definitely return to Hotel Mediterraneo on our next trip to Cefalu.
