Expert tips

Budget 20 euros for valet parking as no specific spot reservations are possible.

Giulia Lombardo Hospitality Consultant
Plan to ask housekeeping about towel changes, as they sometimes change them even when guests decline.

Marco Vitale Travel Advisor
Choose superior rooms to avoid the strong plastic smell noted in some accommodations.

Use the back garden gate for a shortcut to the main square and Piazza Duomo, saving time on steep stairs.

Taormina

“Hop on the bus to Castelmola right outside the hotel, or walk via the back garden gate straight to Piazza Duomo. Use the shortcut to avoid the 100-step Salita Badia Vecchia stairway and explore Taormina's main square with ease.”
