Truly lovely hotel with a fabulous setting. We had a junior suite which was definitely worthwhile. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. Being late October it was only half full which meant that there was not really any atmosphere, especially in the dining room in the evening. Although there was a pianist, with only four couples dining, it was... more

It rained pretty much the entire three days (which were the first of our two rainy weeks in Sicily). The room (I think it was #107) was very lovely. Our travel agent got us an upgrade, so the room was very large and so was the covered balcony. A bottle of champagne was waiting for us on arrival, which was... more

My spouse and I stayed in the hotel for a week this September. The location and hotel were amazing, the view from a see view room was breath taking...The staff was really helpful, just breakfast was a bit poor, but all the facilities were great, especially the pool area...The views are just amazing! Highly recommended place! more

The hotel is in a quite position on the outskirts of the town, and we recommend its position as the town itself is noisy and crowed. The hotel does provide a regular bus service into the town or nearby beach, which is worth a visit. The walk into town is 15 minutes uphill, ensure you ask reception for directions. As... more

My husband & I have just returned from Taormina & the San Pietro. It's not grand on The Imperial Hotel (Vienna) scale,however it is a beautiful well presented hotel,run by efficient friendly staff.Our room was a junior suite with balcony & sea view which in my view is imperative to appreciate the hotel at it's best.Yes the hotel is pricey,however... more

We arrived in the rain and were welcomed with roses and champagne in our room overlooking the bay. Things just got better and better. The sun appeared on the third day and stayed so a lot of time was spent by the uncrowded, indeed often empty, pool where we were looked after royally by the attendents and bar staff. The... more

We had a fantastic visit at this hotel ! It was as expected a very up market 5* plus hotel with the cuisine and service you would expect but so much more . The position of the hotel is breathtaking and the views to die for- you need to explore a bit and not rely on the shuttle and then... more

First things first:- what are you looking for in a holiday? If it a quiet retreat where you will hardly have to move from your lounger, then this is a good choice, provided you have a significant amount of holiday spending money. The hotel is a bit out of the city centre and as such is very quiet. I adored... more

The room was very clean and beautiful, we had a sea side view with a terrace and loved sitting out and enjoying the beauty and tranquility. The Hotel staff was wonderful and very, very helpful. The shuttle bus to and from town was nice but sometimes the bellboy or driver didn't show up on time or early and we would... more
