Mortelle Vacations from $1,109

Owners were reasonably available for an establishment without a regular paid staff; communication easy and good. Shared bathroom was sparkling clean and usually/reasonably available for the 5 rooms using it. Delicious breakfast options available. Restaurants, convenience stores, and a vital gelato place were within a very short walk; prices very reasonable and service good. Key tourist sites were within a few minutes walk. The neighborhood is/was declining, is noisy and busy with local activity, but it felt safe and was interesting. A delightful break from soulless glitz and high cost tourist traps. I travel to see and meet people, experience local life--5 Balconi beautifully supported my goals. Also, quick and easy taxi access from and to the airport and other destinations. Clients when I was there ranged from a young couple from New Zealand, a mature couple from the Netherlands, a mid-40s business couple, and late-70s me from the US. Thanks and best regards to Christina, Rob, and Tini!

Absolutely a spectacular host and a great location

So beautiful view. Good food breakfast, lunch, walking so amazing. But hotel cost me paid 30 dollars for city taxer. Well i thought included hotel from expedia but not included well.

It is not a 4 stars hotel. The hot water stopped working and we were informed that the showers had to be very fast or we would have to wait for the heater to heat it up again.

They were beyond gracious and the hotel is stunning. Location is wonderful. Staff was exceptional and the room they finally gave us was perfect and lovely!! Great hotel in town in Taormina. Highly recommend!
