Amazing view from the room and in general from the hotel terraces, not sure if all rooms have a view to the ocean but mine did and truly it was incredible. The installations are great they feel like a higher star ranked hotel, the attention from staff is very good and the breakfast is the best i had in my trip to Italy. Considering the price for everything in Taormina i consider this hotel as a great cost-benefit option

An amazing hotel. Our room had fantastic views of the sea and Mt Etna. We got here on a day that Mt Etna was erupting and had superb views of the lava fountains shooting out of the top of the mountain. The team at the hotel were great and engaging with the guests. A short stroll into the old town centre and access to all places of interest close by. The hotel has a private beach club at Letojanni, which was great. We will stay here again when we visit.

    We chose hotel Caparena for the nice gardens the exclusive beach and distance to Taormina, we had our enlopment nearby and the hotel Caparena was a great addition to the special event, the staff was super nice, friendly and professional, there was a special cleaning lady that i didnt get the name, but she did for us a love towel decoration with flowers as we explained we were tidying the room for additional memories and experience and she was super nice. Thanks for that. The breakfast was amazing, one of the best we had competing with Dominican Republic lavish choices for all tastes. The pool was nice, big and unexpectedly empty, maybe it was to hot, but we enjoyed it. The room we didn't felt it was ideal for families but it was good for us, definitely recommend for couples. Thank you for the stay, it will be part of our memories forever.

    The hotel is beautiful and offers excellent wellness facilities. The rooms are a bit simple for a 4-star hotel, but this is quite common in Italy. Still, they have everything you need, and the bed was very comfortable! The hotel’s private parking lot was very convenient — we always found a space for our car. There are nice restaurants and bars within walking distance, and the meeting point for Etna tours is just a short 20-minute drive away. Overall, a great stay!

    The town is wonderful and filled with history. we where lucky enough to visit during their carnival, which is something special especially with children. Even the locals are wonderful, mornings in the piazza's are like from a movie, time moving slowly and everyone talking to each other over a coffee. I loved it and looking forward to visit again.

    A very nice town, I particularly like the climate, not hot, humid but not too humid. Many options to walk, eat etc. Very close to Aetna and Catania. I do have to want though that Italians in Sicily (don't know about the rest of Italy) are complete Gypsies! They will try to take your money using any trick they can think of! They make you pay for parking (e.g. in Palermo) and for toilets! When you sit in a restaurant or café, they charge you for the service - and if you just take away, they charge you again! In the airport with Ryanair, they made us pay 46 euro to carry the same suitcase we have been carrying in Ryanair from any other destination for free, including the flight to reach Sicily! Ancient Greek spots are too expensive - more than 10 euros each, more expensive than the Acropolis! To visit Aetna's peak with a guide needs 120 euros per person, plus another 55 if you want to see some extra landforms! So be prepared to experience the worst driving behaviour, illegal driving and road network conditions I've seen in all countries I've been to so far! Full of useless roundabouts, signs don't exist in English anywhere, and the network is too confusing for a first timer, even if he is Italian.

    This is a nice little town on the slopes of Etna and is especially convenient for visiting the Volcano. It is also close to the eastern coast of Sicily and its beaches whilst various tourist attractions are nearby. A car is almost essential though as public transport from the town is only by bus.

    If you are looking for an area that is less touched by tourism but still with plenty of facilities in resort, you can not go wrong. Public transport can take you into Catania (about 40 mins) for historical visit and choice of shopping experiences, but the long flat promenade, excellent restaurants. We dinned mostly at Pellegrino Pizzeria as the stay are so friendly, very good food and very reasonable prices. Walking between AciTrezza and AciCastello is very easy for a change of scenery and there are wide choices of boat trips from the harbour. There are also several diving companies for those looking to go under the water rather than view it on top.

    Aci Castello (AC) is located a 15 minute drive from central Catania and therefore is out of the fray, as we say. The AC promenade has stunning scenery and south of AC is home to many lidos i.e., beach resorts. AC is close to Catania City Center, Mt. Etna and Taormina, three must-see attractions. You will need to rent a car or motor scooter as there looked to be very little public transportation in the AC area.

    This is a nice hotel with very friendly staff but located in a residential area that had seen better days. All the beaches had volcanic sand which isn't pleasant to walk on or lay on. The sea was quite rough and you would have to be a very confident swimmer to enter the water.

    Giarre and neighbouring Riposto are unspoilt small towns with few tourists. We were the only foreigners wherever we ate. La Tavernetta was our favourite. The seafood market in Riposto was a perfect source for the meals we cooked in our suite. Driving in Sicily is fun as long as you copy the locals. Use Apple maps for navigation - Google maps was useless.
