Very nice but noisy apartment in Giardini-Naxos.
I will try to describe pros and cons.
Pros:
1. Amazing view to Taormina and bay.
2. Fully staffed kitchen with microwave, fridge, cooking, all plates and pans. All small stuff also there (oil, salt, coffee, etc.)
3. Location is good, close to the beach, but also to Recanati bus station (direct bus to the airport)
Cons:
APARTMENT IS EXTREMELY NOISY!
I know, mostly it's nothing to do with apartment itself, but I'm surprised why it was only briefly mentioned in previous reviews. So be aware.
1. There is very busy street right next to the apartment. During the day and night cars, touristic buses and motorcycles are passing with very loud noise even with closed door to the balcony (no soundproof). Very hard to sleep without earplugs, we had to buy some.
2. On the weekend, mostly Friday and Saturday, there is extremely loud music from the beach club next door until 3-4am. You feel like in the middle of the dancefloor. Even earplugs haven't helped a lot:(
3. Sofa bed is very uncomfortable and squeaking every time you move.
