Not at all what the picture suggests
We booked a room with an ocean view but our view was of the highway and the back neighbours apartment block. The hot water ran out half way through our first shower and the bathroom sink was blocked, full of water with phlegm floating in it and the dishes had put away dirty. Loud noises all night from the internal piping kept us awake. We left after one night. Very bad experience.

In general everything was quite good. We were very happy with the assistance of the hotel staff, its location was quite close to railway station and the high way but you should rent a car to have freedom to visit sites nearby.

Lovely hotel with amazing staff
The hotel is NOT in Taormina as we'd expected but a €40 taxi away from the Taormina train station in Santa Teresa. This was our only disappointment though. We were greeted by the staff on arrival and shown to our room. The room was great and everything worked well. The staff had limited English but went above and beyond to help us in any way. The owners mother is the cook and made the most amazing and HUGE meals. We felt like we were part of their extended family! We needed to get to the airport early in the morning when there were no shuttles so they arranged to take us themselves. Nothing was too much trouble and they were a wealth of knowledge on the local area. They were prepared to book tours to anywhere we'd like to go and see. Getting to Taormina is a 30 minute taxi ride or about 40 minutes and €4 on the bus. We're glad we got to see some real Sicily and meet lovely people.

Tutto sommato è andata bene!
Dopo aver prenotato tramite questo sito, siamo arrivati alla strutta e ci è stato detto che purtroppo le camere erano tutte occupate, ed erroneamente avevo prenotato una stanza che in realtà non era disponibile. In ogni caso il proprietario è stato subito pronto a cercare rimedio, dandoci un appartamento un po’ più distante ma comunque fronte mare. Inoltre ci è stato offerto il lido per un giorno e la colazione il giorno dopo!

un residence molto ospitale
consigliatissino, all'arrivo c hanno offerto il drink, in verità non si tratta di albergo ma di residence, belli gli appartamenti, ingenuamente pensavamo che ci fossero i servizi di un hotel d pari categoria, ma a quel prezzaccio nn si poteva chiedere di più, bisogna arrangiarsi x colazione, carta igienica e pulizie se no si possono richiedere ma a pagamento 25€, noi non lo sapevamo ne ci è stato detto quando abbiamo richiesto alla reception di pulire la stanza a metà settimana, ma il titolare comprensivo ce l'ha abbuonato. comunque ci è piaciuto, dalla colazione in terrazzo a quella in giardino ben tenuto, struttura nuova e accogliente, unica pecca il palazzo si trova tra un meccanico e un capannone, se si guarda in basso non è proprio idilliaco ma se si osserva il panorama in lontananza si é circondati dalle colline e questo ripaga.. tutti i servizi a portata di mano in citta, e la struttura fornisce anche la bicicletta in prestito gratuitamente. ci torneremo

Vi var där i 2veckor,dessa var kanon fina veckor, då personalen är kanon bra. Servicen är den bästa man kan tänka sig, dom ställde verkligen upp för oss, skjutsade till Taormina och Savocca, och hämtade oss vilken tid som helst. Maten var bra på Hotellet, då vi åt Middag ibland, tiden fick vi bestämma själv. Nära till Stranden. Blev hämtat på Flygplatsen i Catania och även skjutsad dit på morgonen när vi skulle åka trots att det var väldigt tidigt på morgonen. Detta är ett ställe som vi kommer att åka till igen. Kan verkligen rekommendera det.

Riviera Ionica Aparthotel
Riviera Ionica is een nieuw, modern appartementencomplex waar alles prima voor elkaar is ; het steekt in zeer gunstige zin af bij haar omgeving. Keurige slaapkamer , badkamer, en een keuken met een zitbank en een eettafel en een ruim balkon op volle breedte. De kamers met zeezicht hebben zon tot 12 uur ; de kamers aan landzijde middagzon. Het personeel is uitermate vriendelijk en gastvrij. Beneden is een restaurant waar je goede warme maaltijd kunt gebruiken tegen normale prijs. Het complex ligt in een puur Italiaanse, povere omgeving zonder enige toeristische kenmerken; iedere dag om 12.00 uur hoor je op straat het Ave Maria; klokslag 10 uur verzamelen de buren zich rondom de vrachtauto van de plaatselijke groenteboer; het keien/grint strand ligt op 100 meter afstand. De boulevard is saai en heeft niets te bieden. Je hebt dus beslist een auto nodig om de mooie plekken van Sicilie op te zoeken.
