I liked the proximity of the hotel to the beach,and also to the shops,restaurants,cafes and bars.i liked that the hotel was so close to the road to look at,and listen to the passing traffic.it was nice and quiet after midnight,though, so it didnt affect my sleep .there was a great view from my window of the sea and the boats passing out there.Also,i stayed in a single room on my first night,but ,as that was booked out for the following night, i had to book a triple room,as it was the only room left in the hotel.it cost considerably more than the single room i had the night before,as you would expect but the lady in charge,very generously gave me the room for only 6 euro more than the single room cost.if ever i'm back in the beautiful taormina again,i'll be booking into the hotel jonic.oh,i almost forgot 2 other great amenities nearby,both to do with communication.the bus stop for train station,mount etna and many more destinations is only 100 metres from the hotel,and just as close ,is a cable car that takes you over to taormina town centre ,with all its activities and great views.the cable car runs all day for 10 euro return,and there are great views during the short journey.

I had a very enjoyable stay in Taormina and would gladly recommend this place to fellow travelers. The location is excellent – right next to the teleferik connecting the beach and the island with the center of the town and convenient for exploring the city’s main attractions, restaurants, and local life. The room was very clean, which I truly appreciated, and the staff were exceptionally kind and helpful throughout my stay.

This is a great option if, like us, you wanted the 'best of both worlds, as it's steps away from both lovely Mazzaro beach and the cable car up to Taormina itself. The property is quite traditional inside and the rooms are functional rather than plush but, we paid extra for a top floor room with a large terrace overlooking the bay and the views were absolutely amazing, the best we've had anywhere. We were even allowed to take our breakfast (which was excellent with a varied choice) onto our terrace each morning. We also used the terrace for our aperitifs before going into town, which really made our stay first class. The hosts and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. We were so happy that we chose to stay here rather than up in Taormina itself. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (if you can get one of the 3 rooms with a terrace)

We loved staying here! The view from our balcony was amazing and the sunrises were beautiful. The staff were friendly and helpful, made great suggestions for a local restaurant which we visited twice during our stay. Super close to the beach and we enjoyed a day at the beach club directly opposite the hotel. Good breakfast with sweet and savoury options. Very close to the cable car to go up to Taormina and also a car park which was very useful. Recommend staying here in Mazzarò over Taormina proper.
