Unsurprisingly what makes this apartment outstanding is the wrap around terrace. It’s so spacious and I think it has one of the best views in Taormina - I didn’t realise that even the other side of the apartment (not the Etna view) has nice views of the town and you can also see the main square in the distance too. The terrace is kept beautifully with all the different plants on it and we loved the outdoor festoon lights too.
We were also pleasantly surprised by the location... I’d say it’s perfect. It’s probably less than a 5 minute walk to the main square and I think some of the best restaurant and bars are just right outside the apartment. We did stay in September and also due to coronavirus I’m guessing there were less tourists than usual, so there wasn’t a problem with noise at night but even in normal circumstances I don’t think it’d be too big a deal... we just heard people talking and laughing now and then in the restaurants/bars but that was it.
Had no problems with the sunlight in the room but to be fair we have bright bedrooms at home so are accustomed to it... I wouldn’t have even picked up on it if it wasn’t in the listings description!
There is construction work in a building next door so it was a bit annoying in the mornings as they’d start at 6:30am but it looks like the restoration work is almost finished. However it wasn’t a big issue and it wouldn’t put me off staying or recommending it again because there’s so many pluses in staying here.
We didn’t meet Clara but were welcomed by Judit and she kept in contact during the stay. She answered any questions we had immediately and was very helpful.
We’d love to visit again at some point :-)
