Très bon séjour !
Pros:

Très bien situé, avec une place de parking (sous réservation).
Vue incroyable de la terrasse qui elle même est super grande !
Logement bien décoré, propre, pratique avec ce qu’il fait pour cuisiner un peu.
À côté des cabines téléphériques qui descendent vers les plages. Bonne communication avec Alessio!
Je recommande à 100%

Cons:

Un peu bruyant, plaque de cuisson qui fonctionnent très lentement (20min de chauffe pour faire des œufs brouillés)

Pros:

It is in a perfect location. Just behind the cable lift that is leading you to the beach. It is also in 3-4 min from the main pedestrian streets and the tourist center of Taormina. We had a secured parking space (for a small car). The room has a great terrace with a spectacular view.

Cons:

The bed and the pillows were very uncomfortable, but the biggest downside was the for our 3 night stay every morning at 8 o’clock there was some construction works (I believe it was from the building) that woke us up.

Super emplacement
Pros:

Emplacement au top. A l’écart de l’agitation mais tout près des animations. Littéralement à une minute du téléphérique. Hôte super sympa et donnant des conseils. Parking inclus !

Cons:

Espace cuisine trop peu équipé.
Il manque de quoi s’abriter du soleil sur la terrasse.
La chambre mériterait un rafraîchissement

Fantastic and reasonably priced stay!
Pros:

Probably the best value for money stay in Taormina. The apartment was located 2 minutes walk from the central bus station, 5 minute walk to the old town and was situated right outside the entrance to the cable cart station. It was clean and featured a shared terrace with beautiful panoramic views of Taormina's coastline. The staff were very communicative and offered great recommendations!

Cons:

The apartment was quite small and a few additional amenities such as a kettle or a coffee machine would have been a great addition. Other than that everything was fantastic.

Csodás kilátást nyújtó, szuper központi apartman!
Pros:

Az elhelyezkedés szuper, a belváros pár perc sétára, a fő buszpályaudvar szintén pár perc séta, ahonnan a szomszédos strandos települések könnyen megközelíthetők! Funivia a szomszédban, amivel nagyon hamar megközelíthető a város vízparti része!
A terasz lenyűgöző látványt nyújt!

Cons:

Ha nem vagy jó alvó a kinti zajok zavarhatnak. A párnák picit kényelmetlenek voltak.

Perfect position.
Pros:

Closeness to the old city of Taormina, shops, restaurant and cable car. The views of the Ionian sea and Calabria were magnificent. The large balcony outside our room was a great meeting point for us.

Fantastic Stay with a Sea View!
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful apartment. The highlight was definitely the spacious terrace with a stunning view of the sea — it quickly became our favorite spot to relax.

The owner was very helpful, and the check-in process was smooth and easy. The apartment is perfectly located, close to the city center and the bus station, so it’s easy to get around either on foot or by public transport.
