Wake up to a volcano view
We enjoyed our room and the unique location of this hotel. We booked half board and so enjoyed the arrangement whereby we used the lovely restaurant next door for our evening meal which was delightful. Very conveniently the local bus stops right outside that takes you to Taormina for just 3 euros return.
Wonderful Views of Mt Etna from a Great Sicilian Hotel
This was my favorite hotel in all of Sicily. It is located in Castelmora high in the hills above Taoramina, one of the premier towns of Sicily. From the hotel patios and balconies there is an amazing view of Mr Etna with steam coming from its crater. Each room has a balcony or patio with excellent views. There is a large pool and patio area on which to relax, talk and gaze at an amazing sunset over the volcano. There is a small bar poolside that serves drinks and light refreshments during the day. The staff was the most friendly and helpful of all the hotels where we stayed. We were a large family group of 17 and they worked hard to accommodate us in every way. The hotel also has a great restaurant next door and I thought the food was outstanding. The atmosphere is festive and friendly and the service excellent. Breakfast is included and is served in an area that is simultaneously cozy and elegant or you can elect to take your breakfast out onto the lovely patio. There was a lot of options to choose from at the breakfast buffet and I thought it was definitely the best breakfast we had on our trip. The road to Taoramina is very steep and windy but it is very easy to get a taxi to and from town. Since most Italians drive as if they are participating in the Grand Pre I would suggest this as the best option. Also there is plenty of parking at the hotel if you have a car rental. I have included my own photos and a few from their brochure to give you a good idea of the hotel.
Superb hotel with a fantastic location :-)
We got a large double room with a balcony facing Mount Etna. The room had all the facilities we needed (also a well equipped bathroom) Buffet breakfast with good choice. A fantastic swimmingpool area with an excellent view. Sun chairs and a pool bar. A quiet area and no disturbing noices ! Next to the hotel we had dinner in the newly opened restaurant La Caverna - with good food, wine and entertainment. Castelmola is a small village, with serveral bars and restaurants.
