The view is fantastic, the staff are kind and helpful. There is a good variety at breakfast, and they even offer freshly squeezed orange juice. It truly feels like an island of peace. The room is spacious and comfortably large, and both the room and the bathroom are renovated and very nice. The pool is excellent.

“Good stay, but a bit outdated hotel”
Very nice, spacious room with a good conditioner and excellent blinds. We had a corner room and it was super silent and comfy. Good location, close to the city centre? but very quite. Beautiful views.

OSF Excellent. There being no service lift, there might be a place for set times for service use as lift unusable on several occasions. Not so minor when guest approaching 80!

“Nice hotel”
Very nice hotel. Receptionist was the nicest person, thank you! Lava rocks were instead of regular beach, but impressive. Old building with antiques around, vintage furniture and so on. Breakfast was excellent, everything you need, blood orange fresh juice was mouth watering, eggs, salami, cheese and of course sweet Italian pastries. Quite place with stunning views!

“A lovely stay, and I would certainly return during warmer season to enjoy the surroundings.”
Warm and welcoming hotel, superbly positioned on the rocks overlooking the sea. Interesting antique furniture throughout made this hotel rather special. Plenty of seating areas.

“Amazing and so welcoming”
The view from my room was amazing, the lady at the reception was amazing and so welcoming, I had issue with my card ( Amex wasn’t accepted) and she went beyond and above to fix the issue and overall made me feel so comfortable. I hope she seems this comment ❤️ Also, the tall gentleman that works behind the bar was so nice and cheerful and even explained to me what few words meant in Italian 😅

“Charming, quiet hotel that gets you access to the hustle and bustle without living in it.”
The location is at the very end of a small road. The hotel doesn't have a beach with sand, but does have access to the ocean over the volcanic rocks and the pool is lovely. The sandy beach (Naxos) is approximately a 10-15 min walk. In the off season, when we were there, the bus route starts a little farther away, but the staff told us during the tourist season the bus comes much more closely and will take you along the whole beach and up to Taormina. The hotel is full of neat antiques, but the bathrooms and doors/windows have clearly recently been redone, and are modern. The mattress was memory foam and firm, but comfortable. Like much of Europe, the king is two twins pushed together. The rooms are simple, but functional, very clean and comfortable. Super friendly staff. Bring sturdy beach shoes for walking on the rocks! They provided hours of child entertainment.

“Nice relaxing few days "away from the maddening crowd".”
Lovely quiet, well maintained pool and great to be able to access the sea easily from the gardens. Evening dinner option was really good quality and good value for money with friendly, helpful staff. Freshly refurbished room with wonderful view. Clean, well kept hotel and gardens
