Rare find! Though we never met her, Marianna is a wonderful, communicative host and her apartment is such a great find and good value in the very heart of Taormina right on the square Piazza del Duomo (cathedral). On the right of the building you’re a few minutes walk to Parking Porta Catania and on the left Corso Umberto I which is the main shopping and dining street.
It’s not very big but it’s very clean, comfortable and ideal for 2 persons. There’s a comfortable queen bed and tall cabinets on both sides of the bed, a ceiling TV, a good shower with a window, an equipped modern kitchen with large windows overlooking the Piazza del Duomo. We enjoyed sitting next the kitchen windows looking out the piazza and the sea farther while enjoying the breakfast treats she left for us.
She left us clean ear plugs near the bed but we slept well without them even on a Saturday night when lots of people are outside. People do go home after midnight and lucky there’s no bar below our building.
Note that Marianna asks a picture of your ID card for police declaration of guests in Taormina, asks you to leave the payment for tourist tax (not automatically collected by airbnb for Taormina) and she sends you a short-term lease contract in 1 page. We communicated via whats app.
I highly recommend this place!
