This place is in a beautiful location with great facilities. The highlight is definitely the balcony overlooking the cable cars and beach and was the perfect place to sit with our coffee and cannoli’s in the morning. The apartment was very clean and had all the facilities we wanted. The shower was very powerful and water was hot. The WiFi was very temperamental and didn’t really work but this wasn’t an issue as we used our 4G. There is no onsite parking however there is a mini multi-storey car park nearby. We found it very difficult to get a parking spot anytime after 9am until 2am the following morning as Taormina is a popular tourist spot throughout the day and into the night so I suggest arriving into Taormina for 8am and leaving your bags in your car until you check in but at least this way you guarantee yourself a spot. It took us 2 hours almost to get a space! The check in was the worst part of the whole experience. It said we could check in from 2pm. I messaged the host saying we would arrive from 3pm as we were at mt Etna and I never had a response back. When we arrived at 3pm there was no site of anyone to check us in. I called the host and luckily my dad speaks perfect Sicilian so could speak to her as there is a huge language barrier. She said she would be there soon. After waiting half an hour I called again and she said she was sick and her dad would be coming. Her dad finally checked us in at around 4.15pm which frankly I thought wasn’t very good and he neither apologised or explained anything to us. He didn’t show us how to use any amenities in the place just how to check out and that was it. Other people have mentioned that the host cooked for them etc but we didn’t have any treatment like this and didn’t actually see the host once throughout our stay. The place is within walking distance of everything you could possibly want to see and it was great for a few nights. Perfect place for grabbing a breakfast on the go is the pastry shop at the top of the hill. We got coffee’s, water, peach juice, cannoli’s and pastry’s for breakfast and it was all done fresh for 8am which was perfect before we set off for the water park ‘etnaland’.
