Mosaico Taormina Guest House

Great location, lovely hosts, nice apartment! Not extravagant or anything but very good as a place to sleep and explore Taormina. Host was so helpful and gave lots of recommendations!

The only real issue is noise coming from the bars next to the house but this is only really an issue in the smaller bedroom (not the master), and they provide earplugs + the owner of the bar was super lovely and offered us discount for the noise! Stayed over the weekend so not sure if the noise is as bad on weekdays.

Location

I stayed five nights at the first floor apartment. The person in charge of meeting the guests for the check-in is extremely kind and nice. And so is the cleaning person. The apartment is very conveniently located for the town centre. At walking distance from the Taormina Film Festival and all points of interests. The main bedroom and the kitchen are spacious. The balcony is long and overlooks the Cathedral's Square (Piazza Duomo), with the XV century cathedral and the Jonian sea. Very good windows and good window frames (isolating the street noise). Also, guests are usefully provided with ear plugs. I was very kindly lent a very good traditional Moka pot (coffee maker), for my genuine Italian coffee which I have every morning.

Small bathroom and kind of small shower. Too few items of kitchen ware / cooking utensils: the bare minimum. (Not many guests are interested in cooking, but some are.) A microwave oven might be helpful. No washing machine. Furnishings is a bit ordinary. Very close to noisy night bars.

The location is perfect. We could not ask for more.

Whole apartment needs an upgrade in decor. The kitchen area is very tired looking. The terrace is great but, no soft furnishing supplied (e.g. cushions) for the furniture and as shown in the booking photos and the terrace area needs to be re-decorated. The terrace roof covering is damaged. Storage is very poor for two people. There is no full length mirror when there is room to provide one. No ironing facilities. Ceiling is too low to stand in 50% of the apartment. No storage facility for luggage if you have time between 11am checkout and your flight (e.g. a late afternoon or evening flight).

Beautiful home with basic amenities, the location was amazing and the views from the balcony, plenty of restaurants although in a very affluent location so expect to pay more but the cable car and taxi rank is in easy walking distance which takes you to the beaches and other shops and restaurants lower down the mountain, I did the Godfather tour and the meeting point was the bus terminal which the cable car takes you within walking distance, if you do not want to pay the high cost of the private beach then you can walk a little further to public beach but this property location is a wow moment, thank you for a lovely stay. Taxi from train station was just 20 euros

Nothing all was perfect

Location, location, location. Very central in the old town. Beautiful balcony views of alleyways, mountain and sea. Close to good restaurants, cafes and shops, including supermarket. Our kind host spotted us in the street in the dark and welcomed us warmly.

Noisy at night because of the bars below - although only the English were really loud. The apartment hosts need to read previous reviews, because they clearly haven't acted on any of the reasonable suggestions made by previous guests. Fix the cupboards! Provide basic kitchen requirements!

Чудова локація — апартаменти розташовані прямо в центрі міста, на головній вулиці. Господар дуже привітний і доброзичливий, завжди готовий допомогти та порадити цікаві місця для відвідування. Окремо хочеться відзначити велику терасу з прекрасним краєвидом на місто та море.

Загалом усе було чудово. Були лише зовсім незначні дрібниці, наприклад, деякі побутові моменти на кшталт кухонного приладдя (губка для посуду), але вони жодним чином не вплинули на загальне враження від проживання.
