"Short, wonderful stay in a clean and spacious room. Loved the location overlooking a cool plaza, and pretty good shopping/restaurants within a 7 minute walk. Expensive designer stuff really very close if that is desirable to you.
Breakfast was extra but great variety with healthy options avaliable and good coffee."
"Excellent place to stay in Taormina.. it was very modern like Miami Vice. It was across the street about 100ft away from the main building. I only wished we would have stayed in the old hotel which looked much cooler.. we parked up the street for €25 a day saved us €20 a day..
don’t forget to stop at the coop, which is the grocery store. Will also save you a ton of money..
next door is a laundromat, which was perfect. Just watch out and ask for the price first before doing your laundry..
The balcony was also really nice"
"We absolutely loved our stay at Splendid and were sad to leave our beautiful room and the amazingly kind and helpful staff. Ivana was especially helpful, but we enjoyed everyone. When my fiancé required medical attention, they called a doctor for him.
The room was small but lovely, especially the balcony with the gorgeous view! The location was great. We can’t wait to return.
