9.2/10 Wonderful! (543 reviews)

Everyone who I interacted with was very kind and friendly. They put up with my primitive Italian and then in English helped us book a dinner reservation. The room was clean and modern and lights for all times of the day. The hotel is up from the Corso Umberto, so the terrace looks over pretty much all of Taormina and the view is outstanding. My only tip is to pronounce it "Continen-TALL-e" when you tell the cab driver where you are going.
