Appartamento Maria Giovanna

Nothing

It is really a mistery how this property can have an average 9.0 score, which was one of the factors for us to chose this property. I think that booking.com should open an investigation into this. The overall experience of my group at this place was depressing. The property is located in a dodgy and dirty area close to the cemetery. The house is dark, badly furnished, with architectural barriers (for example steps inside the bathroom). Lines and towels are old. The windows views were to the cemetery or unfinished buildings. One of the three rooms has no windows. The beds are very uncomfortable. The air conditioning is centralized and poorly diffused, so some rooms become very cold while other remain hot. It is not possible to adjust air conditioning to individual room´s preferences. We had an extra person with us, so they asked for an extra 72 euro payment on top of the 360 euro already paid. With an overall 432 euro paid for this property for 2 nights, we felt we were taken advantage of. Excessively over-priced for what they offer. I would never recommend nor I would go back to this place.

Very comfortable

Giardini Naxos is a great base to explore Taormina. Loved the beach front and all restaurants. The apartment is a traditional (older) style located in a residential area on hill side of railway line but still only an 8 minute easy walk to the beach. Apartment has full kitchen and washing machine and with 3 bedrooms, would be suitable for groups or family. Free street parking was possible near apartment but easier find after 5pm.

Apartment is located on side lane as shown by Google but not so easy work out on arrival so work with Frederica in advance to arrange access. It is doorway with metal step in lane - only one. Apartment is traditional and older style furnishings as shown in photos.

Only 1 bathroom, pillows hard, overall good, host Federica very helpful but hardly any toilet paper provided for 4 people.

the property was really clean and comfortable, Federica, the host, was very available and kind. very good for the price!

good size, clean, good hosts

two of the bedrooms were lovely, third bedroom, no internal windows felt claustrophobic. Really need to change the pillows as they felt like inflatable.balloons.

Great Location, clean and comfortable.

In comparison with a lot of other apartments during our stay on Sicily we can’t see that many advantages of this accommodation. we had good contact with the owner, very friendly. her dad showed us the way to free parking. the accommodation is in walking distance of the center of Giardini Naxos and there is a good bakery next door.

although the owner can’t do much about it, the apartment downstairs is being reconstructed, so during the day there was a lot of (working) noise unfortunately. The apartment itself ok, nothing special (as shown on the photos). The area around is safe but a bit dodgy.
