We stayed here while we visited Mt Etna, Taormina and Bronte and it was a great location. The hotel was very clean, new, good dinner (although we wished for a bigger menu to include pizza), a nice breakfast. The staff were all wonderful! Only issue we had was that Riposto was very dirty. They say it’s because of the government not picking up the trash, etc but clearly it’s a pretty bad problem. It was gross. So as long as there are no expectations of the town,people will be thrilled to stay there!
