Isola Bella Luxury View

Sensational view and very uncomplicated arrival procedure. Location is great, close to the funicular but still away from the mass tourist center. Apartment is overall in good shape but it could be taken better care of. The apartment will not age well otherwise.

One of the reasons we booked the apartment was the jacuzzi. Unfortunately, it did not work when we arrived and it was only fixed on our very last night of the stay. We could not use it as the water was too cold. I would also suggest to use a jacuzzi cover because the water can get dirty over time.

Location prime

We loved the stunning views and the comfortable furniture. There are terraces on both sides of the apartment and comfortable outdoor furniture to enjoy sitting outside - both a couch and a table with six chairs. After a long day hiking and exploring the beautiful area, it was delightful to sit in the jacuzzi or on the terrace and soak in the incredible beauty. The host was helpful when we had questions or needed something (like laundry detergent, which was provided after I asked for it). We were also met at the property at check-in and the host helped us get our luggage to the apartment, which is at the top of a very steep road. The air conditioning was cold and the jacuzzi was hot. The location is close to restaurants, mini markets, and the beach, though there are a lot of steps! To get to the center of Taormina you can either take the cable car or walk up steps for about 20 minutes. There is a bus stop close by at the cable car with bus service to Taormina Giardini train station and to Catania airport.

It would have been nice to have more basics like oil, vinegar, and some spices in the kitchen. When you enter and leave the property on foot there are a lot of steps. We did not mind, but it is really important to understand this.

Stunning location with beautiful views from the balcony

The view

NOT FULLY FUNCTIONAL. READ ALL REVIEWS BEFORE BOOKING AND BELIEVE THEM. OWNER GASLIGHTS GUESTS FOR ALL PROBLEMS. VERY NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE. View is lovely. We had an early check in. Beyond that, it’s a disappointment. 3 of 4 air conditioners do not work properly, there is something wrong with the electric causing lights to sometimes not work in 3 rooms including kitchen, and hot tub doesn’t get warm. The host did send someone to check things but all they did is turn on ac, verify there is air by holding their hand up, then say it’s working. They did fix the lights. They were not all working on arrival and tripped another time causing a reset down at the street. House temp for our stay was between 26-28c/82-86F. We had some windows open because it’s so warm and were blamed for that being the reason why the ac isn’t working. We then closed everything and ran the 4 ac units for a few hours at night- house is still 28c/86F. We were awake and doing normal things like making coffee and using the bathroom on the first morning here. The wife in apartment downstairs blamed us for stomping around being loud. We apologized even though we were not being loud. When we got back from dinner later that night The husband ran up to us on the stairs, got in our face yelling at us (a group of women) and pushed one of us. Other reviews have similar issues. Hot tub was not clean and also doesn’t work. Again the host gaslights you saying it needs more time to warm up, you don’t know how to use it etc. A person came to turn hot tub up to 40c, we waited a few hours, max temp it ever reached was 34c/93F. Standard hot tub temp is minimum of 38c. It’s not warm Enough to use in its current condition. Host lied to booking.com saying everything was working when it was not. Would not recommend this place and was a very disappointing stay overall.

Spacious, clean and modern

The air conditioning in the living room didn’t work and the neighbours were awful!!! So rude and made us feel uncomfortable.

Widoki super , lokalizacja też . Apartament czysty , pościel i ręczniki świeże.

Brak informacji o schodach : Pierwsze 80 stromych schodów żeby dostać się do furtki , Następnie na ostatnie piętro następne ok 70-80 schodów , windy brak . Bardzo wyczerpujące po 2-4 wyjściach na miasto. Brak tabletek do zmywarki i płynu do mycia naczyń .
