Stunning panorama of the Etna
Gabriella Gon 03/08/2017 09:17Castelmola is one of the most beautiful place of Europe, very close to Taormina, but not so crowded. The hotel is simple but lovely and clean. The panorama is absolutely unique! Marchello is an amazing host, charming and helpful.
Charming hotel
Eileen Con 07/09/2016 18:43Hotel Panorama is charming, has amazing views and Marcello, the owner made sure we had everything we needed. Situated at the top of Castelmola, it was bit of a distance to travel to but it was well worth it to find this gem. It's very affordable considering it is very near Taormina where hotels are around 200 euros. The hotel has the charm of a bed and breakfast. The room we had was simple and it felt like a step back in time. It had what we needed and a character that I enjoyed. From the hotel patio, we had a panoramic view of Etna, the sea and we could see Taormina and the neighboring cities lit up below at night. The scenery was beautiful. Marcello, the owner was friendly, cheerful and kind. He gave us the best recommendations and made our stay and visit to Castelmola, Taromina and Isola Bella memorable. We highly recommend Hotel Panorama and will surely come again.
Astonishing View in the middle of Sicily
Jafanelloon 04/08/2016 12:14We discovered the Hotel Panorama di Sicilia thanks to a Groupon deal. The staff of the Hotel that is run by one family it was really helpful and kind. The breakfast was ok, with high quality croissants and good italian coffee. The structure of the Hotel would need some refurbishing, since it is quite old, although in good shape overall and always clean. In particular the shower in the toilet was quite problematic, since was getting the toilet quite wet. But the really amazing thing of this hotel was the view, quite astonishing. The name Panorama is really well deserved.
Stunning views and lovely service.
SamW507on 09/07/2015 16:32It is fair to say that the rooms are very basic and old-fashioned, but what made this hotel were the stunning views and friendly service. Our balcony overlooked Etna with views down to the coast - Giardini Naxos bay and surrounding area. It was amazing both during the day and at night. If you want modern facilities then this wouldn't be the hotel for you as an update is long overdue but if any hotel in the world offers such spectacular views at the price I'd be surprised. It really could do with aircon and an overhaul and would be second to none with that. Castelmola is a lovely little village and far more charming than Taormina.
posto meraviglioso
tulipfragranton 03/05/2015 15:24The hotel is for me a unique place in the world. You enter climbing stairs with beautiful smelling flowers. Its situation on the top of the hill is seen from far when returning each night to a home place. In front of a stunning view to the Etna i liked to see Marcello preparing the breakfast tables from my balcony with the melody from the clock tower reaching my ears in the morning. The beauty of the hotel is its simplicity and pureness of the rooms combined with a warm welcome of the family and the breakfast on the terrace.
