King's House Hotel Resort

basic room but clean and a lovely pool- no tea making facilities. Great to have a patio and fresh limes to pick outside. However, clearly had not been de- bugged- we were bitten to death even with repellant. Breakfast was very poor- food left uncovered and meats and cheese left out for 2 hours not chilled. Tuna served from tin that was brought out each day- so unchilled for 2 hours a day for a week. Coffee and hot water was cold

This is a great hotel! It's family run and they make you feel like family!!! My son had left money in the room after we left. Once we realized it we had someone call The King's House. They found the money and we picked it up on our way back to Catania Airport. The owner didn't want a reward and even bought us a drink!

The hotel is located in a rather run down area but is an absolute gem! The rooms are large and downstairs have a patio facing onto the central swimming pool. There is free wi fi and the manger, Leonardo, is delightful, even though he doesn't speak much English. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he drew us a very helpful map of how to get to Etna and which was the best route. Breakfasts were superb and it was very good value for money.

Not exactly in Taormina but being close to a bubbling Etna made up for it. It later blew spectacularly. Understaffed: a. 1 waiter for breakfast on all 3 days, serving hot drinks from ONE coffee machine b. grass 4" high on arrival but cut on 2nd day Ate in restaurant on last night - good food and waiter service at reasonable price. Great pool, beautifully clean. Huge rooms (with terrace) and generous wardrobe/drawer space offered enough opportunity to spread out.
