I had a lovely and amazing first stay in Taormina SeaLoft Fondaco Parrino , and surely I will come back with my beloved to spend here unique moments.
It’s a cozy apartment, optimal for a lovely stay of a couple but also for nice stay of a family with 2 or 3 children, who can sleep in a large bedroom, meanwhile the couple can use the large divano-bed in the spacious living room with kitchen corner, enjoying the romantic rumor of the sea if is left open the large window to the spacious balcony that faces to a unique scenario
From your left to your right you have the view on the Norman Castle of Sant’Alessio, Fondaco Parrino beach and the hundred shades from emerald green (close to the shore) and “lapis lazuli” deep blue on the far horizon.
The kitchen is well equipped with enough accessories, cutlery/tableware, spices, oil, etc. allowing You to cook most of the typical plates of “Mediterranean Cuisine” and, on demand Mr Alessandro (aka ALEX) skilled to communicate fluently in Italian and other 4 different foreign languages included Russian, in order to arrange You extra stuff for special needs (e.g. boats, planes and helicopters, ..., special tables in best restaurants, tainers, guides, drivers, etc.) included a private chef to surprise your partner with a romantic dinner served in the cozy balcony.
Most of the walls are enriched with nice paintings and canvas framed pictures taken also by Alessandro (aka ALEX), the eclectic host and guests , sharing special views of Taormina, volcano ETNA and surroundings
The bathroom is equipped with a shower cabin and a useful compact washing machine, sided by basic soaps you can enrich on demand, depending your needs
Because actually there’s only one AirCon split in the apartment (but is planned to plant a second in a short future) best sleeping place is the living room, where a smart divano-bed can be opened and closed in few seconds, allowing to enjoy optimally the available spaces
On 2 light but robust white wooden tables you can have your breakfast, lunch and dinner, even on the balcony, and enjoy the local news on the TV, ready to be joined to your computer via HDMI cable to enjoy your preferred movies, videos and music shared on socials and IT platforms
You have your own closer parking slot in the private road of the complex, where to leave your car and drop your shopping to carry to the apartment: a camera system is guarding the area and the remote controlled gate that takes to the national street.
About the beach, it is unique, with his view, the clarity of the water and essential silence, because most of the gusts in the area aim to relax and agree a quiet mood: the access to the beach is granted by a private stairway until the portion to the maritime state property, where are planted a big professional umbrella and two vintage sun lounger in wood, heavy but resistant to the sudden strong wind and the daily saltiness
In the balcony there is a special shade easy to open/close, to leave closed when you leave the apartmet, because of the changing power of the local wind: placing the portable drying rack near the external air conditioning system greatly speeds up the drying of clothing and linen
In order to not smell of fish too much, I also cooked on the terrace, thanks to an electric plate and relative support/stand made available to me by ALEX: it was amazing feeling together the perfume of the sea and the scent of the cooking red tuna! :)
The quality of the cleaning service is absolutely high, because Alex provides for You, also on demand for extra cleaning services his trusted Mrs LINDA, a professional housekeeper using professional and griffed cleaning products, that let you feel the "smell of the clean": inside the apartment are put different stacked bins to collect separately all categories of common garbage, put out of the complex day by day, following a local calendar of rubbish collection.
Last but not least, the closer neighbors are resident and are very hospitable and helpful, allowing you to ambient to the place and its natural rules
After all we can consider this SEALOFT in Fondaco Parrino a lovely “alcove”, small but useful and cozy GEM well placed in an exclusive scenario, a niche not appreciated from everyone, except people with a big heart and sense of romantic, needing peace, love and relax.
I recommend highly this place and will come back again for sure in the future with my lover.
Thanks, Alessandro/ALEX, for the fantastic and unique experience! See You soon! :)
