Absolutely perfect place to stay and enjoy the sights of Taormina, Castelmola and Catania. Giuseppe the host is so friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. The only thing would be parking and whilst it’s street parking only is does get a little tricky with limited spaces around and lots of cars wanting parking. Would 100% recommend this place and will stay again.

We wished we stayed longer, we are doing a 6 week trip and this has been our favourite accommodation so far. Beautiful rooms, friendly staff and only a short walk to the town. Absolutely perfect.

Our first trip to Sicily but hopefully not our last. Arathena Rocks has very spacious rooms, great air conditioning and all the amenities you need. There is a pool, garden area, restaurant and bar and plenty of peaceful areas just to sit and admire the seaside view. As others have mentioned, the decor could do with an update but I thought that added to the overall charm. We felt like we were guests at a grand manor (from the 70s maybe!) but the prices were reasonable and the staff were lovely....
