Taormina Sicily: Two Hotels: Which one?

4 adults. 2 in their 80's. We have some lovely rooms at Villa Schuler for a 4 night stay in May. Recently a friend suggested we may want to look at Villa Sant' Andrea. A bit more expensive but doable. Any thoughts to one over the other..... considering the age of the guests and the hotel locations? ( not really looking for any other Taormina hotel suggestions.) This is our first trip to Sicily. Thanks.

Villa Schuler is "up there" at the edge of the town, thus great views, while Sant' Andrea is on the beach: a much briefer walk if you prefer swimming in the sea, but the water may be too cold for you in May. As for the price, "bit more expensive" is a clear understatement. If it were me, I'd go for the Schuler.

Thanks.... appreciate the feedback. And you are right.... what I thought was the rate for all 3 junior suites in the correspondence from the Andrea ( 11K) .... I looked again and I realized it was for just one room. 33K vs. 4K and some change at the Schuler...... I don't know what I was thinking.

Also much more convenient to Taormina itself.
