Based on the reviews that I had read, I booked two nights here. I needed a stay close to the main railway to Messina. This hotel ticked all my boxes but exceeded my (already good) expectations. My only regret is that I couldn’t have the kids with me as they would have had a great holiday. Wonderful staff - polite and friendly. Quiet enough to get two good nights’ sleep. I’d upgraded to balcony although the cheaper room would have been just as good. Letojanni is delightful. Less popular than nearby Taormina but better if you just want a quiet break.

Thanks for a wonderful stay, especially Titsiana (my apologies if I spelled your name incorrectly) at the front desk! I would like to thank entire hotel stuff, great attention to the details we were treated like dear guests. On day of departure we left hotel very early, there were two boxes with breakfast waiting for us at reception, it was really nice gesture. The warmth we were treated with felt like true southern Italian hostility. Our room was beautiful and clean. Nice beach area, plenty of space, comfortable lounge chairs. I would love to visit this place again.

Booked with easyJet for a relatively cheap getaway for 4 nights. Extremely impressed with hotel which offers high end accommodation. The hotel is decorated beautifully with a real boutique feel to it. Service was good and the breakfast which was included could not be faulted with something for everybody’s taste. The restaurant which also served lunch and dinner was of a high standard and again reasonably priced. The location is excellent however the local vicinity has limited restaurants and amenities, however certainly enough for a short stay. The hotel does offer a shuttle service to Taormina which is definitely worth a visit. My only quibble which is possibly just a me thing, was the seating by the small pool was rather uncomfortable and impractical, although looks great 😊. The beach is just across the road so this is easily sorted. Be aware though the private beach with beds only operates during high season. (June through to September)

“Great Hotel, Great Location, Fantastic Staff.”

Loved this super clean hotel with the best staff we’ve encountered for quite a while. Always pleasant, always available to assist you in any way possible. The reception staff went above and beyond in my opinion. Thank you .. The rooms were clean and tidy with enough space to put your belongings... lisää

Loved this super clean hotel with the best staff we’ve encountered for quite a while. Always pleasant, always available to assist you in any way possible. The reception staff went above and beyond in my opinion. Thank you .. The rooms were clean and tidy with enough space to put your belongings for the time we had there. We had a side sea view room that was just as good as a full sea view in my opinion. The shower was always hot and powerful. Watch your travel plugs… this hotel uses the newer 3 pin straight plug. Make sure your travel adapter is a thin pin plug as we had mainly fat pin plugs that didn’t fit. Luckily we had a thin pin one. Breakfast was plentiful with nearly everything you could want. The shortbread biscuits (yes at breakfast) were outstanding as was the fruit, especially the pineapple. They also had an Orange Squeezer machine for your fresh orange. No concentrate here. We ate dinner here on our one night and the food was lovely, the restaurant just lacked ambiance.. Turn some of the lights out please… It was too bright and too stark for dinner… The wine tasting was great as it got you chatting to fellow guests quicker that the norm and made the hotel a very friendly place to be. Now the negative bits… And it’s a shame I have to put this but it’s a review….. The pool is a waste of time…. If you want a pool with sun-beds this hotel isn’t for you. The chairs around the plunge pool were just for it to look modern… nothing else. I begrudgingly had to pay €15 a day for 2 sun-beds and an umbrella to sit on the hotels beach. You also have to pay €5 if you wanted 2 fried eggs at breakfast as they only supplied scrambled egg. However this didn’t bother me, I’m just supplying the information. Would I return… Definitely for the hotel and staff but we were disappointed with the plunge pool.
