Beautiful apartment. Giuseppe, the owner, was there to meet us. He had filled the fridges and cupboards with so much water, cookies a stuff, that we didn't have to buy anything.
It was an exceptional week!!

Wonderful location with breathtaking views. Guiseppe is an incredible host - he even stocks the cabinets and fridge with snacks and drinks! Ideal space if you’re traveling with a large group.
Just a few minutes walk to Isola Bella (though there are numerous staircase steps to get to the beach.)
Private parking was a huge plus.
The private pool and cliff “beach” with direct access to the sea were great if you want to take a dip or escape from the crowds for a bit.
Numerous ways to travel into town - cable car and bus are possible but our group decided to just Uber most nights, which is about $20-25 euros. Since the city center is up the mountain, walking is not recommended.
If you’re a large group looking to stay closer to the sea (as opposed to the uphill center of town, where there are large crowds), then this is definitely the place for you. I would most definitely stay here again!
Thank you Guiseppe!

We had a fantastic time during our stay at Guiseppe's Wonderful Villa. Guiseppe, the owner, met us upon arrival, helped with our luggage, and showed us all around the condo and the property. He also provided us with a full fridge and cupboard with snacks and drinks. Everything was clean and in working order and this place by far had the best air conditioning of all the places we stayed in Europe. The pool and beach area were incredible - there is an elevator that takes you down through the cliff to the sea below. Isola Bella, the cable car up to Taormina, and views of Mount Etna are a short walk away. I wish we would have stayed here longer and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend.

What a beautiful home! Myself and my two teenage kids enjoyed a week at this beautiful condo. The set up was perfect for us as each teenager had their own bathroom and "separate" bedroom (as mentioned in earlier reviews and the description, 2 of the bedrooms are across the hall from the main unit). The condo would also be ideal for 3 couples traveling together. The home has everything you need (tons of towels both for the beach and to shower), pots, pans etc. and Guiseppe was a wonderful host. He greeted us at the home, showed us how to get to the beach and pool, stocked the fridge with beverages and provided us with coffee, delicious pastries and snacks. Beds were comfortable; everything immaculately clean. We used the "beach" everyday which is an area of the cliff that has a 4 tier lounge area.
There are about 12 lounge chairs and 2 sets of tables and chairs (4 people) that are set up each day. We were here at a very busy time and chairs were available for our group of 3. It is an elevator ride or 200 steps up or down. We used the steps and rationalized our ice cream and wine indulgences! Snorkeling is amazing right at the grotto at the condo (bring your own or buy at the market up the street). Isola Bella is an ambitious but doable swim away. Small markets with all the essentials are a 12 minute walk in the direction of the cable car; an uber black (readily available) to Taromina was approx. $20 (US) or the cable car is a 15-20 minute walk. We will be back!!!!

We had a great stay with 6 adults in this villa, which provided very good quality accomodation with amazing views and a good location with access to a private beach and pool.The owner, Giuseppe, was a great and very helpful communications prior to our arrival and a comprehensive tour of the villa and adjoining facilities. A very well stocked fridge and cupboard offering complimentary food and drink that we have ever had was amazing after a long day of travelling, parking was very easy and access to the local town was a 5min walk away.

We had a great stay in this villa, which provided very good quality accomodation in a good location. The owner, Giuseppe, was a star - prompt and very helpful communications prior to our arrival, flexibility around our check-in time to fit with our flight arrival and a comprehensive tour of the villa and adjoining facilities. Plus the best stocked fridge and cupboard offering complimentary food and drink that we have ever had.

Host was wonderful and the home was as described! Walking distance to dining, sights and shopping. Only recommendation would be for more cushiony mattresses /toppers

Giuseppe was an exceptional host and left us with a fully stocked fridge and cupboards of treats. What a lovely touch and much appreciated. The villa was a delight and we could not have imagined a better place, location or view. Looking out over Isola Bella from the patio at sunrise and sunset, and in between was dreamy. We had the pool to ourselves (in October) but laughed that the pool was cooler than the sea that was quite warm still. We spent a lot of time at the private rocky beach and even swam to Isola Bella. It was a 10 minute walk to get food or to restaurants and about 15 mins walk to the cable car up to Taormina. You get used to the walk but there isn't much room for walkers and the speedy cars. We had 6 adults - 2 couples, and 2 singles. The way the rooms worked out was good for us because one of the singles was not very tall and fit nicely in the bunkbed room off the master bedroom. One room is a across the hall, and also fully stocked and beautifully appointed, and that worked out well for us with an adult single using it. Our only minor complaint is that we all felt the beds were harder than we are used to. I will never forget the view and the beautiful pool and facilities!

Such a beautiful villa and location with a friendly and gracious host in Guiseppe! It is as beautiful as the pictures show, if not more so. I couldn’t say enough about how welcoming and accommodating Guiseppe was!
Each bedroom had its own bathroom, air conditioning, and privacy. It was perfect for our family of two couples and one single person. There were plenty of towels as well as unexpected amenities provided by Guiseppe. The pool area was lovely with an incredible view. Daily our group took the stairs and elevator down to enjoy the stunning blue waters of the Ionian Sea and swimming into the nearby cave.
The location is at the bottom of Taormina with less hustle and bustle, but with the conveniences of restaurants, markets, and a quick cable car ride up to enjoy the center of Taormina. A perfect location! Should we return to Taormina, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here once again. It truly felt like home!
Gracie, Guiseppe, for sharing this beautiful gem with us!

Congenial, personable, and accommodating, Giuseppe provides an experience at his spacious, well appointed condo unit that would rival a five star hotel. The location was ideal, the views breathtaking. Too many extra and unexpected positives to list; simply an awesome stay that we would gladly repeat when we return to beautiful Taormina.

My family and I spent an absolutely wonderful week in this beautiful condo with the most awesome view. The view is just stunning, whether it's day or night you can see Isola Bella and the coast. Words don't do it justice.
The property had everything to make our stay unforgettable, Giuseppe is the most gracious host. When we arrived we were greeted by Giuseppe who gave us a thorough walk through of the property. There were all kinds of goodies too. The refrigerator was stocked and the kitchen and surrounding are well equipped.
I read previous comments about the layout. My "children" are really adults, so that particular arrangement worked really well for us since it gave them and us privacy, as they each got a private room w/ their own bathroom. We also enjoyed the the infinity pool and a couple of times, the lounge chairs in the rocky area that belongs to the building and is accessed by either stairs or by elevator. Even if you don't go down the stairs every time, it's worth doing it at least once to see how it was carved into the rock. Truly amazing!
Thank you for everything Giuseppe!
I can not say enough about this lovely property and about Giuseppe! We hope we'll be able to come back.

This place has unimaginable views of Isola Bella. The place was great and plenty of room for everyone. My only complaint to Giuseppe is that he needed better pictures on his listing. The place and the view are much better in person.

The view from the living room and terrace are even more stunning than the pictures. We just left and I’m already missing it!
Giuseppe was a wonderful host- he met us, showed us around and we had an incredible holiday.
Here’s what you should know before you go:
1) the rooms of the unit are broken up. From the family room and kitchen, the main bedroom is up the spiral staircase. To get to the other bedrooms you must go outside.
2) One bedroom is across the hall from the living room and requires a key. The second one is up some stairs from the main bedroom. Those bedrooms do have their own bathrooms but the rooms are small. I think they are better for one person to stay in than two but some may find it ok.
3) the bedroom with the bunk beds is basically a walk in closet with kid-sized bunk beds. (Like for kids under 10) Another thing to note is that it is located INSIDE the main bedroom. My 6’3 son could not even come close to sleeping in it.
4) The private beach is not a beach but an area cut out of the rocks with some lounge chairs for the people in the building. It is stunning and great to have just don’t expect sand. There is none. Many boats come by to see the cave that is tucked in the corner. It’s a great area to swim.
We really had a great trip and the unit was in terrific shape but I would have liked to have understood the layout better so I hope this is helpful.

My family & I stayed 5 wonderful nights at this spectacular condo! It has a Million dollar view that you can't stop looking at. The host Giuseppe was extremely nice & excellent to deal with. The location is literally 10 to 15 minutes away from the center of the lovely city of Taormina. It was nice to visit the city of Taormina and come back to the quiet & quaintness of the condo. I can't say enough good things about our stay. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Everything from start to finish was wonderful. Giuseppe met us at the house and gave us a very informative tour of the house... he kept saying "just like the photos". But truly the photos do not do the house and the view justice. The house was also well equipped as well as a stocked fridge. We will definitely be back again! Thank you Giuseppe!

Guisseppe made our stay special and easy- with personal check in service and providing food and drink above and beyond. The location and layout for a group is fantastic with three bathrooms with showers. The private beach and community pool are outstanding as well. Great vacation spot for Taormina.

Split arrangement house in interesting cliff top complex with amazing view of Isola Bella island and beach. Impressive sea water infinity pool shared with other residents. Giuseppe was a wonderful host, contacting us to meet personally on arrival and was very welcoming. Fridge and kitchen were generously stocked with complimentary supplies including snacks and drinks which was much appreciated after a long journey. Easy private parking at the property. The cable car up to Taormina and local restaurants are a 5-10 minute walk albeit along a busy road in August. Highly recommend a stay here and thank you again Giuseppe.

Fantastic views from this property, and great to have both a private sea area and a pool as water options. Great for older children, mine (16,17) loved having a bit of space as their rooms were slightly separate. Guiseppe was a great host, providing a full fridge of drinks and breakfast items, and helping us with any questions we had.

We had an absolutely wonderful time in Taormina. The condo is located close to town and the gondola to take you to top Taormina. The view is absolutely stunning from the main balcony or the top balcony. We used the pool several times and went down to the beach every day. Giuseppe met us late on the day of our arrival which was very kind. The only downside was 1 room was completely across the hall from the main door and we didn't use it much and the other top floor room you had to walk outside to get to. It was difficult with having younger children. We made it work and had a wonderful time!

We had a fantastic time in this apartment! Giuseppe was very accommodating, answered all messages really quickly and greeted us with a well stocked pantry, including gluten free products for our child who has celiac disease.
The view from the balcony was to mind blowing! We enjoyed bathing from the rocks, visiting Taormina old town and other places nearby. We definitely recommend this place!

Stunning!!
This house has breathtaking views that will not disappoint. It’s magical. It has all the amenities you’ll need and is very comfortable. There’s a washer in the unit, which was helpful. It’s a short walk to the funicular, which takes you up the cliffs further into town with all the nightlife. It’s also a short walk to the beach, but lounging in the chairs at the rocky area on site was perfect. I really, really want you visit again!

Red-carpet treatment! Giuseppe is a super host.
With drop-dead gorgeous water views over Isola Bella, the apartment is well kept and comfortable. The location is one of kind, it is simply spectacular and Giuseppe's hospitality is second to none. Upon our arrival all the essentials (and more) were there. Grazie Giusppe per la bella vacanza!

A memorable stay
Just arrived from a wonderful time in Giuseppes apartment. Two family's - six persons, and the apartment was perfect for us. Very well equipped and surprisingly Giuseppe had stocked the frigde with all sorts of beverages. Small packages with nutella, good coffee, and asorted jams were also left for us to indulge.
Three bedrooms, and each of them with a privat bathroom -
accompanied by a stunning view from the livingroom and the cozy terasse overlooking Isola Bella and the vast sea.
Every morning we went with the elevator down to the private cliff beach and took a swim, snorkeled, and discovered the fantastic world under the sea.
We also had a great time in the pool and from time to time at the table tennis table with our sons (18 years)
We would highly recommend for anyone thinking af staying in Taormina to check this place out.
Thank you for an amazing time in your holiday house Giuseppe, and for your kindness. We will never forget our trip to Sicily and Taormina

Perfect spot with a perfect host
Housing is perfect, three rooms for adults (plus one for young kids), three bathrooms, two balconies looking at the sea and the island, of course a large living room plus kitchen. Private parking is a real plus.
Air conditioning working perfectly, but not that hot as apartment looks toward the East.
Access to swimming pool and sea is private.
Location perfect: at least 10 excellent restaurants along the coast, plus cable car at 10 minutes with access to the upper Taormina village, which is beautiful. Etna visible at walking distance (2 mn).
And last but not least, Giuseppe is a fantastic host, always easy to reach, any problem/question with the house, and he solves it within seconds.

Perfect Spot!
Great location with pool and lounge area on rocky beach on Mediterranean with PARKING (so important). Cool access to rocky beach through grotto. Walking distance to much of coastal Taormina and to the cable car that brings you to the upper village. Giuseppe was more than accommodating. In addition to alway being accessible, he helped us with our rental car company and taxi when we found our rental car battery dead as we were leaving to go to the airport. Life saver! Thank you for everything Giuseppe.

Location spettacolare!
Posizione spettacolare. Immobile ben tenuto ed organizzato meglio. Pulitissimo. Molto ospitale il Padrone di casa. GRAZIE!. Unico appunto ..... direi che al massimo ci stanno 4 persone. Niente altro da eccepire.

Just lovely!
Saying that this is a well-maintained, quiet, clean property doesn’t give enough credit to the absolutely stunning view of Isola Bella! Giuseppe is a fantastic host. He is very available, helpful, and offered a really wonderful personal touch. Check in and check out were very easy. This is a great place for groups traveling together as two of the ensuite bedrooms are detached.
This property is one of a few dozen condominiums in a complex just 15 minutes walk from the Taormina cable car. The salt water infinity pool (unheated) is refreshing with fantastic views. We enjoyed the private access (rocky entry) to the sea near the blue grotto. Parking was extremely convenient. This was a great base to explore Taormina, Isola Bella, Mt. Etna, the Ortigia, and the southern beaches near Syracuse.

We were four Norwegians that had a fantastic holiday here. The apartment was well equipped and with a personal touch. Amazing location with fantastic views! Wonderful swimming pool with salt water. Great also to be able to swim in the ocean below. Many stairs, if you choose, but there was also an elevator (37 meters down) so that one came straight to the swimming area with many beds. The only negative was that the beds were somewhat hard, and that it was a little narrow when you'd go down to the shops/restaurants. But this is a place we definitely can recommend and would like to come back to!
