We had a wonderful stay here and are very pleased we chose this place. The communication from the host was fantastic and they arranged a taxi from the train station to the apartment for us. We were warmly welcomed by Marina who gave us a fun and friendly tour around the property and gave us some of her recommendations. Marina made us feel very at home. The location of the property was perfect for us as we were able to walk everywhere during our stay. It’s a short walk down to the main streets of Taormina, a few stairs but really not problem at all. Because of that you’re a bit higher and get a fantastic view from the balcony of the bays and Etna. We loved waking up to that view and having dinner/wine on the balcony to sunset. There’s a bus stop outside which can take you up to Castelmola which we’d definitely recommend. There’s a cable car that can take you down to Isoabella but we found that was way too touristy and after a locals recommendation we took a bus to Letojanni which was much calmer, with nicer pebbles and beautiful clear water. It felt a lot less touristy and relaxing, would definitely recommend going here. The bus timetable is a bit weird and infrequent but it’s very cheap and easy to get from a ticket office with helpful staff.
Inside the property was spacious with a great balcony, living room and comfy bed. The kitchen was fine and had what you needed. This place didn’t have the little extras you sometimes expect such as coffee and shampoo and we had to buy toilet paper before the first afternoon which was annoying but it didn’t affect our stay too much and we would definitely recommend staying here!
