The hotel is located in Mazzeo, just metres from the beach, along the Sicilian Taormina Riviera, with panoramic views of Mount Etna and the sea. The hotel is 6 km from Taormina town centre and a 50-minute drive from Mount Etna, where guests can go skiing or take a trip to the volcano. Catania Airport is 60 km away. The hotel offers personalised service, a relaxed atmosphere and a total of 14 rooms. It was renovated in 2009. Facilities include car parking in the garage, wireless Internet access and an Internet point available 24 hours a day. This air-conditioned beach hotel also offers a lobby, hotel safe, lift access to the rooms, a bar, breakfast room and room service. The property has fully equipped rooms furnished with style and elegance. They feature a private bathroom with a shower and hairdryer, individually regulated air conditioning and heating, a minibar, plasma TV, safe and direct dial telephone with Internet access. The rooms are spread over three levels, and can accommodate from one to four people. The comfort rooms have a private terrace and view of the pool, while the superior rooms have a balcony and terrace with a lovely sea view. Rooms for disabled guests are also available. The property offers an outdoor swimming pool with a hot tub, a poolside snack bar and a terrace with sun loungers and parasols. Sun loungers and parasols are also available (for a fee) on the nearby pebble beach. The hotel serves guests a rich and typical Sicilian breakfast buffet each morning, always with fresh food. From Messina or Catania, take the A18 motorway that heads towards Messina. Take the Taormina exit and follow directions to the sea, on the SS 114 in the direction of Letojanni-Mazzeo (approximately 2 km). Once guests reach the crossing, they should turn left for Mazzeo, and the hotel is located on the Alcide de Gasperi promenade.
