Luxury hotels and resorts

Just returned from a wonderful stay in Taormina. This residence was the perfect base from which to explore this beautiful island. It was also the most peaceful haven to return to after a busy day of activities. The accommodation was superb and was exacting of our needs. The grounds, pool and accommodation were maintained to extremely high standards. We just loved it. A short ten minute walk had us in the hustle and bustle of Taormina and all it had to offer... bars, restaurants, culture and shopping and yet the surrounding of these apartments were tranquil and gave the feeling of being in a remote area. Mr Fabbiano is a wonderful host. On arrival he makes gives clear advice and instruction on the residence and he does set standards that he expects to be maintained. Those standards are what make this accommodation special. Additional to that, we found Mr Fabbiano to be very well respected in Taormina and his name always brought bonus... good tables in restaurants, good prices in car hire, and a general feeling of good will toward him. There are many beautiful hotels in Taormina but this accommodation provided accommodation of the same high standard with the added bonus of freedom of having your own space out with a bedroom. We had a stunning large terrace which allowed us to relax and recover from our daily activities before heading into town for dinner. For us this was the perfect choice

We had a problem with the reservation through icastelli.net due to la dimora del genio mistake - we booked for 2 nights and we could stay only one night in the hotel. The 2nd night we stayed at a room in the same street but not with the same atmosphere as la dimora del genio - we got a very small discount on the room but still payed way to much for it.

Grazie a tutto lo staff che ha lavorato per rendere tanto piacevole il nostro soggiorno. Le persone preposte all'accoglienza contagiano con il loro sincero entusiasmo, nella descrizione delle camere artistiche, che sono davvero molto belle , nel descrivere le tantissime opere d'arte che si trovano nell'albergo e mettendosi sempre a disposizione nella visita e nelle spiegazioni con molti suggerimenti sui percorsi e quello che merita di essere visto. Stupenda la Fiumara d'arte! Ricorderemo per tanto tempo la piacevolissima colazione con le squisite torte, plum cakes e brioches, freschissime ogni mattina, preparate con tanta cura dalla Direttrice, al lavoro dalle cinque del mattino fino alle dieci di sera! Complimenti per aver pensato tutto e per credere nell'ARTE, nella CULTURA, nel SAPERE! Grazie!

Reception office smells like an ash tray. No direction where to park car to bring in luggage. No notice on closing castle doors at night. (locked out). Restaurant manager very helpful, also on duty at reception from midnight on the 14th. (Apologise forgot his name)
