AMAZING!! This word encapsulates Roberto’s Casitta Suite and his hospitality. Beautiful, clean, large, and modern apartment with an amazing outdoor patio with stunning views. This location is perfect as it is a 10 minute walk to the central Piazza IX Aprile and all the restaurants and shops that make Taormina magical. The apartment is located next to a square where many locals congregate throughout the day to chat and enjoy the beautiful weather, kids playing soccer and just enjoying the slow pace of life. I truly felt like a local during the 5 days that I stayed in Roberto’s home. The apartment has all the modern luxuries you could expect in an apartment in a large city like LA or NYC, e.g., dish washer, electric stove, large refrigerator and freezer, clothes washer, central air and heat, heated floors, power outlets with USB ports, modern and stylish finishes, and to top it all off a Nespresso machine with coffee pods :) There is also a supermarket 5 minutes away that has anything you might possibly need.
Roberto is an amazing host who makes himself available via WhatsApp for anything you might need during your stay. He checked in daily to make sure all was good. He provided me a large list of amazing recommendations on places to eat and visit in Taormina and the surrounding areas. He lives close by so don’t be surprised if you run into him on his moped or hanging out with neighbors as I did a couple times during my stay.
I would not hesitate to stay at Roberto’s home again next time I find myself in Taormina. This apartment is a modern oasis in the middle of a magical ancient town.
