Popular Mazzeo 4-star Hotels

We have just returned from a week at Hotel Rivage. We were delighted with an extremely warm welcome and complementary juices on our arrival. There were some things to go through before we were shown our room, but this meant that we were instantly clear about where our meals would be served and times etc. (I’d rather be told than have to read it for myself.) Breakfast is self service buffet style with plenty of choice and enjoyed in the bright dining area next to the pool. Dinner was served in the hotel’s restaurant across the road overlooking the beach. Really lovely. Our room was spotlessly clean, fresh sheets every 3 days and lovely fluffy towels. We were very comfortable and were glad we had paid extra for a sea view and balcony, perfect location for pre dinner g&t’s with just the sound of the waves in the background. (The road in front leads nowhere so traffic is fairly minimal at the front.) Overall a lovely hotel in a good location a bus ride from Taormina for shops & history. There’s also a train station in Letojanni for excursions so no need to hire a car. The hotel organised a tour for us too, up to high village locations for The Godfather films. This was excellent. In fact all the staff in both the hotel and restaurant were very friendly and welcoming, always with a cheery greeting and very attentive. The only negative for us was the jacuzzi bath tub - it was a bit of a struggle to enter the over bath shower - not as agile as we used to be!

I’ve got to say we were delightfully surprised by this hotel. We booked this place as it was nearby to where we booked our wedding. Travelling with my now husband and our nearly 2 year old. From the minute of walking through the doors we saw how truly nice and special this place was. We just booked a standard room, we were located on the ground floor and the room was a lot bigger than we expected. It was nice and peaceful even being so close to reception in room 112. It was clean, comfortable, well air conditioned. Was just what we needed. We had breakfast included in our price which was continental but had scrambled eggs, bacon, range of cheeses and meats including ricotta. Cereals, pasties and cakes all of the above was of a great standard. You could eat inside or out. The staff in the dining room are even better, gianluca, Gianfrano the waiters and the manager fabrizio. And a lovely lady with short dark hair was amazing with our son, They really made us feel welcome and special, they couldn’t do enough for us. So professional and friendly. We also spent an evening in the restaurant which the food was fantastic. Again great service here too! The beautiful garden and surroundings of the hotel are so picturesque. Nice big pool area including a kids pool. We also spent some time down by the beach bar which was relaxing and I have to mention how lovely the ladies down at the reception area of the beach/shop. Giulia and Maria, so lovely, friendly and helpful. The lobby bar was brilliant Adriano made us feel right at home, so friendly, welcoming and looked after our son if we needed milk warming up, no matter what time of day. The shuttle service from this hotel is fantastic, you pre book your shuttle up and down from Taormina. It’s free too! We loved Salvatore! He made us smile, he was lovely, helpful and genuine. We miss him already!! I have to say, the staff here are a real main reason we would want to come stay again. We live in Sheffield in England but my new husband is originally from Catania, we normally would stay with family but after this trip I know we will be back. Don’t waste any more money staying anywhere else, this hotel offers everything you want and need. Thank you for having us Hotel Caparena! See you again one day I’m sure! Thank you for making our trip for our wedding so special, for the lovely congratulations. You went above and beyond our expectations.
