La gestione

Posizione vicina al centro di Taormina. Materasso comodo. Host disponibile. La terrazza è curata, con lettini piacevoli per rilassarsi.

Struttura poco insonorizzata. Sarebbe utile rivedere la gestione degli spazi per renderli più funzionali. Inoltre, in bagno non sono presenti appendiabiti, dettaglio che potrebbe migliorare la praticità.

- We stayed in the upper apartment ”Mare” which was exactly like in pictures. Very pretty apartment! - Watching Etna from the property was magical and something we will always remember. Decor in the house is very modern and joy to the eyes! - Excellent Air Conditioning: Despite being a small apartment, it had two air conditioning units, which made a huge difference during the heat. - Comfortable Bed and Quiet Neighborhood: We slept very well. Bed was great and nights were peaceful. - The apartment was very clean upon arrival. - Good WiFi and delicious coffee - Convenient Location to Grocery Store with good variety of foods -Lovely Encounter with Host’s Mother: A heartwarming surprise – she was incredibly kind and welcoming! -Towel Change Mid-Stay: Towels were replaced after three days, which we greatly appreciated.

- Extremely Steep Climb to the Apartment: This is a serious issue. Even for guests in decent physical shape, the daily climb back to the apartment multiple times a day (sometimes with heavy groceries) in the intense summer heat was exhausting. By day 4 or 5, this became a real burden and impacted our ability to plan daily activities. We wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone who isn’t physically fit or prepared for a workout multiple times a day. Maybe if you have a car, you can enjoy it more. - No Laundry Facilities: A minor but inconvenient detail, especially for longer stays. - Inconsistent Shower Water Temperature and Tiny Shower: The water fluctuated between freezing cold and scalding hot. Several times we had to take cold showers. Shower is also tiny, so might not suitable for bigger sized guests. - Difficult Kitchen Setup: Only one outlet available for four appliances made cooking frustrating. There were ants in the kitchen, the fridge was very small, and counter space was minimal – not suitable for proper cooking. - No Change of Bed Linens During 7-Day Stay: A small detail, but worth mentioning for longer stays. -We asked for more toilet paper, which was promised but never brought, and we also asked for a 1-hour late check-out due to train schedules, which was not possible. It was understandable but a bit difficult for us. - The apartment is on the “wrong” side of Taormina if you plan to visit the beach or take public transport. All buses and the cable car to the beach are on the Porta Messina side, which is about a 30-minute walk each way through the busy center. Combine that with the steep climb back to the apartment, and daily outings became physically demanding.

Beautiful view and spacious terrace with relaxing outside furniture. Kitchen and seating area. Hosts were attentive to our needs.

The apartment was very clean and in a great location.

The shower was a bit temperamental and had low pressure and took a while to heat up.

That it had a terrace area where we could sit outside, car parking, a kitchen & a washing machine we could use.

The bed was terrible. The mattress had a rubber protector with no topper so it made you sweat. The pillows were dreadful, old, lumpy & flat & one filled with beanbag balls ! Garden on the terrace filled with high weeds. Wouldn’t take much to be so much more.
