The property was as advertised and shown in the listing, it is spacious and has a fantastic terrace. Carmelo (host) was extremely helpful meeting us when we arrived and showing us around the apartment. The decor is very traditional, comfortable and has everything that you need. The only point that we would make is perhaps the outside furniture could do with an upgrade and an additional lounger.All in all, a lovely property in a fantastic location.
Absolutely fantastic stay at what must be one of the best locations in Taormina.Carmelo was ill the day of our check in but his lovely sister, Francesca met us for a very easy check in.The huge terrace is simply fantastic and itâs perfect for an early morning coffee or that last glass of wine. We never tired of that view!If you are able to book it, you wonât be disappointed. We would come back in a heartbeat.Thank you for hosting us in such a fantastic apartment.
The property is a modest one but please don't this put you off. The location and views are superb. A well stocked small supermarket is just a few feet away and the young shop assistany speaks english and was very helpful.
Carmelo was very accommodating. He allowed us to check in early, explained everything we needed to do during our stay. He was only a few minutes away if we had any problem and came over very quickly. A really nice man. We enjoyed our stay and would book again.
The most amazing apartment. We loved ot so much and want to come back but it seems fully booked forever now! Hopefully one day we will be lucky and get to go there again. Thank you so much for letting us stay in such an amazing place.
Die Wohnung ist wie auf den Fotos beschrieben, wunderbar gelegen und Carmelo ist ein wirklich toller, freundlicher, offener, zuverlĂ€ssiger und aufmerksamer Host. Das Check-in war total entspannt, es gab einige schöne Annehmlichkeiten von Carmelo zurechtgelegt und eine Liste mit Ausflugsziele in der NĂ€he. ZusĂ€tzlich hatte er Einkaufstipps, Restauranttipps und generell konnte er uns super unterstĂŒtzen.
An der StraĂe befinden sich kleine MinimĂ€rkte, der Zugang ĂŒber Stufen zum Strand, die Seilbahn nach Taormina und einige Restaurants. Die Parkplatzsituation war interessant, jedoch hatten wir gröĂtenteils GlĂŒck und mussten nie weit laufen. Die Wohnung ist super ausgestattet und sauber, nach kurzer Zeit schon fĂŒhlt man sich wie Zuhause. Hervorzuheben ist auch die groĂe und schöne Terrasse mit dem schönsten Ausblick ĂŒberhaupt. Wir empfehlen die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall weiter!
We had a great time in Taormina Mazzaro and were frequent at the lovely beach (gravel/pebble) nearby the Isola bella. Since we had a rental car, which was no problem with parking following the advice of our Host, we spent also a lot of time traveling around. Thanks to Carmelo Ruggeri!
Honestly we could not have been happier. The most magical location and beautiful, traditional home. We absolutely adored our week here and would absolutely come again in a heart beat! This beautiful space is incredibly value for money being minutes from the beach and the cable car to Taormina.
The most beautiful, breathtaking, phenomenal, magistical, stunning view of Isola Bella.
The apartment is well equipment and the beds super comfy. The aircon provided much needed respite from the summer temperatures ( early July). The terrace offers outside dining or aperitifs with the best view. There is a lift to help you up those last few stairs to the apartment after slogging the stairs to and from the beach ( which are very worth every step). Make sure to take your beach shoes ( the rocks are a hard on your feet without them) and a snorkel and mask.
Nothing was too big a problem for Carmelo, who without hestitation, came out at midnight to fix something for us.
The apartment is close to the cable car up to Taormina ( runs from 8 am to 1am) or there are regular busses from right outside the apartment door.
Be prepared to want to come back. đ
Great apartment and location.
Beautiful views and local facilities.
Taormina is accessible either by a 40 minute walk/climb or by Bus or Cable car.
Friendly and helpful host.
Definitely try and stay here again.
The apartment is Traditional Sicilian, spacious, clean, well equipped and benefits from an elevator.
The host is Carmelo, a really nice guy who offers a very warm welcome.
The views of Isola Bella and surrounding mountains from the balcony are stunning.
The beach is stony so take beach shoes.
The Isola Bella has a visitor centre with a fee of 5⏠(super value)
There are minimarkets, restaurants and snack bars in the immediare vicinity.
Taormina is popular with tourists and this is wher e the bus terminal is.
There are bus stops within a short walking distance of the apartment but we found the timetables confusing and sometimes misleading so waiting at a stop for an hour or more was normal. Also if you use the bus not all of them accept cards so have cash ready.
Overall, it was a great pleasure staying at Gianni house and meeting Carmelo.
Die Wohnung entspricht dem Internet Auftritt. Die Aussicht super schön. Leider war die Parkplatz Situation sehr schlecht. Wir muĂten manchmal ĂŒner einem Kilometer laufen.
A gigantic private terrace with a view on the sea. You literally could hear the crashing of the waves, while you enjoyed the view on the peninsula. We had a lot of space in the clean flat which has unique and old furniture. The owner, Carmelo, was very friendly and sympathetic. Altogether it was one of our best and beautiful vacations!
The location of this apartment is special. The view from the expansive balcony is like a scene out of a movie, but even more spectacular. It is located a short distance from the beach, train station, wonderful restaurants and shopping.
We found the apartment to be spotless upon arrival. All the essentials such as towels, a fully loaded kitchen, coffee, snacks, and toothbrushes
were proved.
The host, Carmelo was very nice and made sure our stay would be a special one.
We look forward to booking our next stay there.
Sincerely,
Peter and Donna
We had the best time in this apartment. It truly is a home away from home! The owner is welcoming. The apartment is clean and has everything you need. The location is perfect. There are markets nearby, steps to the beach and the funicular to take you up to Taormina. The best part is of course - your huge, private patio with views of the Isola. We woke every morning to views of the ocean from our bed and spent every evening enjoying the sunsets on the patio. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Grazie Carmelo!
GroĂartige Unterkunft mit toller Aussicht und Ausstattung
Das Appartement ist sehr gut ausgestattet.
Obst, Milch, Wasser, Kuchen, ⊠sind als Willkommensgeschenk bereitgestellt, selbst Duschgel ist vorhanden.
Der Blick von der groĂen Terrasse ist sensationell
Da der Fahrstuhl nur zu den Ăffnungszeiten des Hotels zur VerfĂŒgung steht, sollte man gut zu FuĂ sein, die Parkplatzsuche in der NĂ€he der Unterkunft gestaltet sich mitunter schwierig, da es auch innere Nachsaison sehr voll sein kann
A very nice appartment with plenty of space for 4 people! An awesome terrace with a great view over the bay and Isola Bella! Great location, close to everything! Perfect!
This apartment is very comfortable and well equipped, with an absolutely magical view! The location is perfect with easy access to the bus stops and taxi stands. The funicular is very close but was not in operation during our stay. The beach is across the street and down the stairs and there are lots of beach chairs and umbrellas as well as restaurants. Some of the best restaurants in Taormina are within a block or so of the property. The stairs up to Taormina are long and steep but close by.
Our hosts were very welcoming and helpful.
The best part is the enormous private terrace with lemon trees and flowers and a breathtaking view of Isola Bella and the blue sea! We definitely recommend this lovely place and hope to return!
Eine riesige private Dachterrasse mit direktem Blick auf die Isola Bella. Ein hervorragendes Restaurant gleich auf der anderen StraĂenseite. Der Aufgang zur Altstadt von Taormina gleich um die Ecke. Das Appartement ist groĂ sind mit Charme eingerichtet.
Sehr gute Betten
