Me and my boyfriend had an amazing stay here!!!
The hosts are lovely - they were kind enough to pick us up in their car from the train station and drop us off! A cold bottle of water was waiting for us in the fridge. There were all the amenities you would expect - fresh towels, equipment for cooking, fast wifi, toiletries, etc. Extras were offered to us - such as borrowing their beach umbrella - which was really sweet!
But best of all is the location and the view!!! Just like the photos, the water is right there! We enjoyed the view while eating breakfast on the balcony. The apartment stayed cool since we could open the large windows, and the bedroom could be pitch black by closing the thick blinds.
The water was less than a minute walk from the door to the building! The beach was accessible (no fees/not privatized) and not crowded (unlike farther down).
It was so convenient to be on the FLAT part of Taormina. We almost made the mistake of booking an Airbnb in the city center, which google claimed was just a 20 minute walk from the train, but do NOT underestimate the elevation change of Taormina! The city center is basically up on a huge cliff! And even being out of the center, there is a supermarket 3 mins walk away and little restaurants lining the waterfront.
I just can't recommend this place enough!!! I hope to return one day and wish I spent my whole time in Sicily in this home!
