“Fontana Vecchia wins on charm and attention, mostly due to Nando's dedication to his guests. Yes, it's a bit uphill from Taormina's center, but that walk balances the generous, mostly sweet, breakfast that sets you up for the day. I think it's a particularly solid choice if you appreciate a host who's genuinely invested in your experience.”
