Top Lage und Ausblick, Zimmer leider flop
Pros:

Die Lage und die Terrasse sind wirklich super. Man ist direkt in der Stadt und an der Seilbahn. Der Gastgeber selbst ist auch sehr nett und es gibt einen Parkplatz, was für uns persönlich sehr wichtig war.

Cons:

Unser Zimmer im Keller war leider wirklich unterirdisch. Zwar ist dieses mit Sicherheit deutlich günstiger als die Zimmer oben mit direktem Zugang zur Terrasse, aber das Geld würde ich das nächste Mal lieber doch in die Hand nehmen: Aus dem Badezimmer (den Abflüssen?) kam ein unaushaltbarer Gestank, der wirklich kaum zu ertragen war, das Zimmer und insbesondere das Badezimmer waren viel zu klein, im Badezimmer konnte man sich kaum drehen (geschweige denn in der Dusche). Als wir den host auf den Gestank ansprachen, meinte er er würde nichts riechen und wir sollten doch das Fenster öffnen... Das Zimmer ist extrem dunkel und laut, weil der Ausgang aus der Seilbahn direkt neben dem Fenster ist. Ohne Oropax keine Chance auf Schlaf. Unser Tipp: lieber etwas mehr Geld in die Hand nehmen und ein anderes Zimmer buchen.

Pros:

I had a wonderful stay here! The apartment is centrally located, spacious, very clean, and equipped with everything you need.

The balcony is huge and offers an absolutely stunning view. Despite being so central, the apartment also feels very private and peaceful, with everything within short walking distance.
Having the cable cars right next door made it incredibly easy to get down to the beach as well.

I truly enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back again.

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.
