Diana - Taormina Minerva Luxury Apartment by Taormina Holidays

Stunning apartment. Lovely pool and easy to get in and out. Great proximity to Corso Umberto where the fun is. Thankfully it included parking for rental car.

Would be nice to include a hair dryer. Otherwise amazing.

Good location.

Due to a storm cancelling boats from Stromboli we missed our first night at the property but kept them updated by WhatsApp and paid in full. Delays due to the poor weather then meant we could not check in until between 9pm and 10pm a day later which I explained on WhatsApp. We arrived at 9.20pm - the host was not there and was was rude and aggressive on the phone and kept us waiting a further 20 mins. She then demanded 30 euros for late check in, 50 euros to park a second car - they knew we had 6 people and it said parking was free and did not need to be prebooked and 36 euros in tourist tax making a total of 116 euros in cash, no receipt. Her attitude was awful. We paid a lot of money for this place and then the extras. The villa did not have enough hot water for all of us to have a warm shower. There was peeling paint in the bedroom. The toothbrush holder was broken and unsanitary. There were not enough pillows. The terrace outside is dangerously slippy when wet. The swimming pool is only open a few hours per day and closed over lunch time. There were at least 20 empty car parking spaces and to be charged extra in the circumstances was unreasonable. The instructions of what to do as we left were terrible. Leave the keys and fob to get out of the car park and phone a random Italian number. The terrible host was circling that morning but was unhelpful again.

A real luxury apartment.

The view and proximity to town.

That the pool was closed between 2-4pm.

Beautiful, spacious, stylish apartment with fabulous pool & balcony, comfy beds, great air con and a very short walk to shops & restaurants. Host was really helpful and quick to respond to any questions and gave some great recommendations.

The location and the view were great. Gabriel was so helpful and went out of his way to make our stay very comfortable even before we arrived

Modern, spotlessly clean apartment in an excellent location just a couple of minutes walk to restaurants, supermarket and the Main Street with shops. Lovely outside area with partial sea view. Mariatheresa was very helpful checking us in.

Work going on in apartment above/nearby with some noise, though this was minimal. Was a shame that the 2 work vans were parked outside just below the apartment.
