9.2/10 Wonderful! (788 reviews)
Good size room and we had an amazing view off our balcony. Shower stall is very small and uncomfortable. The breakfast spread is incredible, but I was disappointed that the hotel bar/restaurant had a very limited menu. There were about 10 items listed but they only had 4-5 of them available.

The location was perfect and the penthouse unit was suburb. Has everything you need. Staff was very friendly. On Saturday night there were a lot of young adult locals partying loud and late in the front parking area which was annoying and disruptive to our sleep

Nice hotel, close to the beach. very helpful owner
We (me & my 21 year old daughter) booked late and late in the season (mid Sept) yet couldn't be happier with our choice and the value for money. 5 mins walk from the best sandy beach in Giardinni Naxos, a short bus ride from Taormina, (The beach there is rocky). A long promenade with restaurants ...

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Castelmola is a small town on a hilltop. It's within easy reach of Taormina but is less busy and touristy. I'd definitely recommend staying in Castelmola and taking the bus to Taormina for the day.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Castelmola was definitely a breathtaking venue . Spoiled for choice : Mt Etna & Taormina bay Also much quieter than Taormina which was crowded. Loved walking through the tiny narrow cobble streets .So many little eatery places and cafes.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Castelmola is a beautiful village with stunning views. It has a number of excellent restaurant options and also some great bars and shops. A wonderful place to unwind.
