The balcony views are great. Worth the upgrade.

Yes. The hotel will organise a taxi for you from the airport direct to the hotel. The cost was 98 euros each way. Sounds expensive but trust me its worth every cent. The buses are sporadic and if you have had a few hours flight and its hot plus your luggage to cope with, to be met at the arrivals gate and taken direct in a very comfortable car with expert driving is a bonus. Added to which, unless you know the hotel situation and Taormina town itself, its very difficult to find first time. The bus station is also at the bottom of a hill (as this is a hillside town not unexpected). We also didn't find it necessary to hire a car either. Its 20 euros to park per night at the hotel and quite frankly we met two couples who had done this and never taken it out of the car park. So the 200 euros was in our opinion worth it.

I’m sure a trip can be arranged, either through the hotel or directly with a tour operator. We used Sicily Life to do several tours/trips in Sicily, and one was a private half day tour to Mt Etna. But there are public tours that can be arranged when you’re in Taormina. My suggestion is that you write to the hotel and see what they can offer you.

The car park is extremely crowded, but hotel seems to manage it well. Like the others, I wouldn't recommend renting a car for the whole time. We used Taormina car service for many trips, and hired a car for the day through the hotel (it was delivered/picked up from hotel) when we wanted to go farther afield. Driving through taormina itself is difficult. Happy travels, Lisa

Think they have more of a garden view; though they face towards the sea, they are lower down.
