It was a super way to see and immerse ourselves in Taormina and even Castelmola. The flat was well equipped, functional and easy to live in. Given the drying conditions in Taormina it was quite easy to get to by car. Getting into the main part of town was an easy 5 minute walk down the hill. We also enjoyed the easy access to the path up to Castelmola (20 minutes) where we discovered some good places to eat while enjoying spectacular views of Taormina and Mount Etna.

Michael was a great host and provided us with lots of really useful information about places to eat, things to visit and excellent travel directions to the apartment. The apartment was spotlessly clean, spacious and bright. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

5th floor apartment/no elevator - understood. NOT a short walk to city center as suggested - long walk up a steep incline to get to apt.. 2 of the bedrooms were very small. Roof terrace was great but other balconies were too small to use. Hope this helps.

The purpose of this review is to help the next traveler decide if this property is right for them. We had a good time in this apartment but it has its Pros/Cons: Pros: Excellent 2 bedrooms with queen size beds and balconies Fully functional 2 Bathrooms Excellent AC in almost every room Great views of the bay and mountains from the large open terrace Quite location away from the noise and crowds. Feels safe. Brand new working kitchen. Great communication with host, greetings upon arrival, taxi service recommendation etc Cons: The other 2 bedrooms are the size of a shoe box and only suitable for kids 15 or younger. If any adults from your party will have to sleep in one of those rooms, they will be very unhappy. Slope ceiling in the open DR/LR/ space is quite low and at one point going down to almost 4 feet, I hit my head a few times trying to get things out of the closet. Location: from Catania gates you need to walk up quite a bit of steep streets and stairs before you even get to the building and then again up the stairs to the top floor. Once you get there you are out of breath(I was) and need to take a shower. Parking is not easy to find. Would I stay there next time I am in Taormina-probably not. Will try to find something closer to main street without steep hike.

We wanted to spend some time experiencing Taormina and using it as a base to visit Etna and we were happy to find this apartment not too far from the town centre. It coincided with one of the hottest weeks this year so were glad of the air conditioning

Great views.

Very nice apartment located close to everything. Great communication even though I didn’t need much Roberto did allow us a late checkout with no problem. The one thing that would have been nice is to have a espresso machine , there is a espresso pot but no coffee to make it. Other than that it’s a great place if you’re visiting Taormina.

The apartment was great. Very spacious. Great views and balconies! Roberto was very responsive and helpful.

We had a very nice stay in the flat. Breakfast at the terass every morning with beautiful view of the town. We had good night sleep in comfortable beds. Good flexibility with check-in and storing the luggage .

Magnificent views. Great location to centre. Comfortable living quarters Only drawback was that the penthouse was on the fifth floor with no elevator. Carrying luggage up 77 steps was difficult. It is not suitable for the elderly or anyone with any physical difficulties. But the stairs were great exercise for the rest of our stay

Great and easy check in we had a great stay the place was clean and cool! We loved Taormina it was all in all a wonderful stay in a beautiful city. Thank you!

The apartment was very clean and modern with beautiful views from every window. Lots of natural light coming in because of all of the windows. Especially enjoyed the terrace with its breathtaking views of the town and water. Short walk to town although it is hilly and has stairs. As stated in the ad the apartment is in the 5 th floor so there are many stairs however the view is worth it. Would highly recommend!! Grazie tante!!

Mike’s place is located very close to the Taormina city center. The apartment is spotless with a great view.
