This apartment is in a great location in Taormina. Beyond that, we had some serious issues which were not resolved during our stay.
When we arrived all electricity was off. We had to find the circuit breaker - not ideal when you don’t speak Italian. This circuit breaker repeatedly kept getting thrown during our stay (even in the middle of the night). Definitely an electrical issue in the apartment! We were in touch with the owner who said an electrician was unavailable.
There are two air conditioning units in the apartment - one in the kitchen and one in the main double bedroom. The unit in the bedroom was leaking water profusely. Leaking water next to my head is not ok as I’m sleeping. The owner said an electrician was unavailable. Not having air conditioning in July in Sicily was extremely uncomfortable. No fans were available or even offered as a substitute.
Of the three bedrooms, two don’t have access to air conditioning. One of these bedrooms (the single) doesn’t even have a window! The second double bedroom has two metal cots as beds with thin mattresses. My kids were uncomfortable. I cannot imagine adults sleeping on them.
Parking was also very difficult. Even dropping luggage was very hard as you have to travel 200 meters down a very narrow hill to the apartment with no possibility of turning around. It’s something future guests should be aware of.
The owner of the property offered a partial refund due to the issues during our stay. That has not happened. I’m still waiting….
