Guest Reviews

• Guillermo (9/5): Excelente opción para vivir Taormina - La calidad de las instalaciones , su decoración, la comunicación fácil con su dueño , la vista desde balcón del sunset sobre el mar es sublime Son temas menores que NO empañan el lugar ( calidad toallas NO condice con la calidad superior del departamento
• Vanessa (8/5): Fantastic view - beautiful terrace - 2 fully equipped bathrooms - a bit far from the center - The terrace is super nice and the view really beautiful. Overall the apartment is well equipped - basic furnitures but correct - with 2 big rooms and 2 fully equipped bathrooms. A bit far - walking distance - from the center. The city bus is only every 40 min. It was not easy to find the location as the streets are very narrow in Taormina and despite GPS location we missed a road and we lost 20 minutes as many streets are one way. Then once the place was found, the instructions received on what’s app from the host were clear and easy to follow. Points to consider : provide some additional information to find the location and the pillows were far too slim unfortunately. Extra pillows / different sizes and tenderness would be a plus in my view.
• Milena (8/5): Добър и малко труден за достигане - Добре обзаведен , имаше всичко необходимо. Труден за намиране и труден за достигане пеша . Голяма денивелация до самия апартамент . Не в за хора с проблеми в колената , като мен.
• Borislav (10/5): excellent - Amazing view. Quiet place close to downtown
• Philip (10/5): - Great view Modern and well equipped Comfortable beds in a quiet location 15 minutes walk to medieval town centre Excellent location for walking around town without fighting for parking Narrow roads to get to onsite parking but that's not the fault of the apartment!
• Jamilla (10/5): - Prachtig appartement met geweldig uitzicht. Het appartment was mooi ingericht, de bedden waren goed en het was schoon. De locatie was uitstekend en de host was altijd bereikbaar voor vragen en hulp. Fijn dat er een eigen parkeerplaats was. Je kunt vanaf het huis lopen naar het centrum 15 min.
• JIE (8/5): -
• Edyta (10/5): -
• Daniel (10/5): - Muy lindo y espacioso apartamento con una vista preciosa del mar. A unos 700 metros del centro histórico. Todo muy limpio.
• Daniel (7/5): A fost un sejur bunicel, insa cu cateva neajunsuri!!! - Apartmentul arata bine, nu foarte aproape de centru. Domnul care ne a intampinat nu parea destul de bine dispus si parea ca il plictisim cu intrebarile noastre.
• Joanna (10/5): - Wspaniałe i bardzo komfortowe mieszkanie, super lokalizacja. Było w nim wszystko, czego potrzeba, żeby poczuć się jak w domu - bardzo wygodne łóżka, duża lodówka, zmywarka, pralka, suszarka, piekarnik, suszarki do włosów, wielki i piękny stół na tarasie na którym mieściły się kwiaty i jedzenie, pachnące ręczniki i czysta, biała pościel :) Widok z tarasu cudowny! Bardzo polecam :)
• Robert (8/5): Sehr gut ausgestattetes Apartment. Autobahn in der Nähe leider etwas laut. - Sauberes Apartment. Sehr gut ausgestattet. Sehr guter und schneller Kontakt zum Vermieter. Die Badezimmer waren zu kalt und wir haben am nächsten Tag kleine Heizlüfter bekommen. Waschmaschine war sauber und hat gut funktioniert. Spülmaschine vorhanden. Autobahn ist erschreckend laut. Wir waren dort im Dezember und haben den Balkon nicht genutzt, daher kein Problem, im Sommer aber sicher nicht so angenehm. Ausserdem waren Bauarbeiten in der Umgebung, die sehr laut waren und uns morgens geweckt haben.
• Katarzyna (10/5): Apartament przewyższa oczekiwania. - Apartament świetnie wyposażony. Bardzo czysty, nowoczesny z dwiema łazienkami. Niesamowity widok na góry i morze. Jeszcze tam wrócę. Serdecznie polecam. Było idealnie.
• Ana (10/5): Perfect stay in Taormina - Exceptional apartment with everything you possibly need. It is just a 10 minutes walk to city center, very bright and a lovely view. The parking place is a big plus in Taormina. 100% a place we would love to come back to. Everything is perfect.
• Mihai (10/5): - The view was the reason to choose it and we made an excellent choice. We communicated very well with the host and the staff. The appartment has everything you need for a stay Taormina in late December. There's heating through air conditioning, everything clean and as expected. There's also a parking place included, which is very important in Italy :). Pay attention to the GPS, both the car and Waze were giving wrong directions towards the location which is 7 minutes walk to the city centre. Would come again! Nothing to point out here.
• Aleksandra (10/5): -
• Tracy (9/5): Breathtaking peaceful coastal sunrise views - Gorgeous coastal sunrise views, tumble dryer available, free private onsite parking 5 metres away. Responsive owner communicates via watsapp. Power limitation for 3 big appliances (1 kitchen or 2 air conditioners or 1 washer+ 1 kettle+ 1 kitchen hob). We had a power trip when I used 1 kettle and 2 air cons. Thankfully the owner responded via watsapp quickly and led us to the main circuit board outside the house to resolve the issue.
• Andrew (10/5): Awesome in every way - The location was great, the view from the terrace outstanding and the proposals was clean, modern and very comfortable. The walk into Town was lovely through a great local neighbourhood with a good well stocked shop en-route Nothing. It was fantastic
• Jeanine (10/5): - The bedrooms and outdoor deck have breathtaking views of the sea. Large modern bedrooms and bathrooms. Giovanni was always available to answer any questions. We would definitely stay here again!
• Brent (7/5): Nice host and great views but a bit far from the city center - Nice view from the balcony and very large, modern apartment! Helpful host with recommendations of things to do and places to eat. Large balcony with a great sunrise. The space is very large and it would be a terrific place to stay for a small group of friends or family. As a solo traveler it was almost overkill for me and I should have looked for a smaller place closer in the town. The location was quite far from the town and unwalkable to go all the way to the beach unless you’re ok with walking over 1.5 miles down winding hills and then back up them. Even to get to the main shopping / restaurants area it’s a solid 22 minutes walk, each way. I ended up burning through €200 euros in taxi fares in only a 2 day trip. The floors of the apartment were very dirty and sandy and my feet were black walking around barefoot. The towels in the bathroom are awful. There was only one bath towel and one hand towel and both were like drying your body and washing your face with sandpaper. The shower head had very little water pressure. The bed is squeaky and the pillows while foam, are very flat with no loft. While the view is pretty solid from the apartment, there is arguably a major highway below it and I couldn’t see that in the booking photos. So if you zoom in 2x for photos you won’t see it but you’re actually looking down to a major roadway between the water and the apartment.

• Maja Milisavljevic (10/5): - Great apartment, wonderful view. Giovanni as a host is superb, responsive and with great advice. Terrace is real highlight for enjoying. Privat parking place which is great advantage in Taormina. Pillows could be more comfortable if you prefer soft ones, these are hard and thin. And location is little bit challenging both for walking and driving (lots of ups and downs, narrow streets), but after a while you get used to it, so not a real problem in fact.
• Marisa (9/5): Well located and great views - Clean, modern well situated apartment with amazing view Nil
• René Michael (10/5): Ein wunderschönes Appartement bei dem es an nichts gefehlt hat, an einem wunderschönem Fleck Erde. - Wir waren zuerst etwas überrascht, dass man nicht einfach mit dem Auto bis zur Unterkunft fahren kann. Als wir dann netterweise von Giovanni abgeholt wurden bei der Mautstelle und bis zum Appartement eskortiert wurden, wussten wir warum :) Taormina besteht aus vielen engen Gassen, es würde den Rahmen sprengen wenn da einfach jeder rauf- und runterfahren würde.

• Bruno (9/5): - The view from the balcony was beautiful. Having parking for a car on the roof of the apartment was very convenient. The walk into the historic centre was about 15 minutes.
• Fiaz (10/5): Exceptional -
• Igor (10/5): Spacious and comfortable with amazing views. - Spacious and comfortable with amazing views. Great balcony allows you to sit back, relax and take in the views. The apartment has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Nothing really
• John (8/5): Great views, comfortable and well appointed - Clean and comfortable, plenty of room for two couples. Beds are firm but comfortable. Pillows are quite firm. Well equipped generally. The bathroom's are excellent, clean and spacious. Fantastic view. Quiet. Good value. The location is great for able-bodied but a bit far out of the centre to walk if you find it difficult to walk as some parts are quite steep up and down and taking the car in and out to the centre would be difficult. No problem for us but it needs to be clear in the description. Also be wary of Google Maps. It constantly took us to the wrong place but then corrected itself once we came to the dead end! It would help if there were summer-weight duvets and. choice of pillows. There were two pillows each but both were quite firm and the quilts provided were quite heavy for summer use. Finally the kitchen could do with a cafetiere (french press) as the coffee machine was really too complicated.
• Jacinta (10/5): Exceptional -
• Zao (10/5): Very pleasant stay. - We booked this place because of the view and it did not let us down. The view from the terrace and the bedrooms are magnificent. We had breakfasts on the terrace every day and it was such a delight! Towels need a little update.
• Emily (9/5): Great few days at the Blue Marine - would recommend to friends - incredible views, good setup, convenient parking. Good location for walking to main streets of Taormina Would prefer a door code so that we don't have to coordinate key handoff
• Joanne (10/5): Amazing place; I’d stay here again! - Excellent apartment; well stocked, amazing view, and very clean. Drive to apartment is in very winding, mounrain road. Be careful.
• Greg (10/5): Wouldn’t ever make that drive again - The view is stunning Driving there and away was hair raising.
• Valentin (10/5): Sunny winter escape - Really beautiful apartment, which is 10-15 mins walk to the center of Taormina. Great host, wonderful views!
• Thomas (10/5): Relaxing bay view. - If you don’t mind some skinny road driving and can handle a few stairs, this place is awesome! A very spacious apartment with full views of Taormina Bay. I booked this a third of the way through our trip thinking we would be tired of eating out and need to do laundry. Nice kitchen for cooking and a decent washing machine with soap provided. Host Giovanni is wonderful and had someone meet us to show us where to park. Nothing!
• Aleksei (9/5): Superb -
• Lavinia (10/5): Great experience - We really enjoy this cozy apartment in Taormina. It has a great position (aprox. 15 minutes walking from center) and it is dotated with everything you could need. Considering that we were in January, a big plus for us wss that in the room was warm. Also in every room it is a TV with Netflix, which we also liked. Giovanni is a great host, who helped us a lot in providing great recommendations and support during our trip. Everything was great, no comments.
• Jennifer (9/5): Modern apartment with amazing views - Fantastic view and great size. Very modern and luxurious for the area. Host was very responsive and helpful. I was very aware of the walking distance and it’s not terrible but it is a steep climb and can be a but challenging to walk back and forth into town
• Finn (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic view, awesome service, modern apartment
• Mihaela (9/5): Overall good value for money with an amazing view - There was an amazing view from the balcony. Spacious rooms and all you may need. The location was a little far from the centre and it was hard to be found initially.
• G. (10/5): Very good location with plenty of room and washing machine. - Modern apartment with new furnishing. Great view of ocean ( no view of Mt. Etna). 12 minute walk to center of town with a few hills along the way. Free parking was nice.
• Cinda (10/5): Wonderful place to stay in Taormina. - Absolutely beautiful view, clean, modern, well-equipped, wonderful responsive host.
• Mario (8/5): Very good -
• Ben (9/5): We would gladly stay here again. It was very modern and comfortable, with outstanding views. - The location was superb in that it had an incredible view of Taormina and the ocean but it was slightly difficult to find and get to. Other than what I wrote above, there was nothing that we didn't like about the accommodation.
• Aitana (9/5): Best apartment in Taormina overlooking the ocean! - What we liked the most of this apartment was the stunning view. It was beautiful to overlook the ocean in the morning. It was also extremely clean and the apartment was very modern and equipped. If I had to say something it would be that it is a little bit far from the centre of Taormina (25 min walk) and you have to go up a long hill so I wouldn’t recommend it if you want to be someplace centric or accesible for people who can’t walk too much.
• Mahmoud (10/5): Highly recommended for a quality experience - Excellent location and modern Nothing
• Fodchuk (9/5): Superb - Great location, free parking, beautiful view from terrace. Easy walk to restaurants and shops.
• Matt (10/5): Perfect apartment for 2 couples within walking distance of the main streets of Taormina - Blue Marine is a fabulous apartment in Taormina, perfect for 2 couples, with a great view. Giovanni was a perfect host who answered our text message questions very quickly and arranged for his colleague to greet us on our first day. Taormina is like a maze but Giovanni dropped us a pinned map to help us find it easily - turn down the roads that can’t possibly be the right way but they are!! The apartment was spotless, well laid-out and had everything we needed. It was great to have a dishwasher and washing machine and we needed the air conditioning even though it was only April! The free car parking space for the apartment was definitely a bonus. Taormina is a very hilly area so you need to be reasonably fit to stay anywhere in the town - Blue Marine is situated about 15 minutes away from the main street along up-and-down roads. It definitely helped you work up an appetite for all of the gorgeous restaurants nearby and gave you the perfect excuse to get an ice-cream on the way back! The Co-Op is close by and there is a bus running along the upper road if needed (we didn’t use it but saw it go by a few times). Nothing - it was perfect! We would definitely stay here again.
• David (10/5): Exceptional -
• Takeharu (10/5): Amazing stay with a beautiful view. - Calm and quiet neighborhood and just a little walk from the central. Every room was very clean and comfortable, and the view from the terrace was exceptional. Giovanni the host was very kind and helpful, gave us a lot of tips and recommendations of Taormina. Nothing.
• Marianne (10/5): Exceptional -
• Renee (10/5): Exceptional - Giovanni was great with communication. We were very appreciative that we could check in a bit early too! The place is spacious and well equipped.
• Gill (9/5): Superb - Terrace with a beautiful view Clean and modern 2 good bathrooms Nothing about the property but be aware that there is a hill to get into town if you have mobility issues
• Beverley (8/5): Away from the crowds - On arrival we felt geographically isolated, but when we heard about the local green bus which took us on a continuous loop of the city and environs, we felt more relaxed. We got to know some of the locals who were always looking out for us and told the driver where we wanted to go - we felt part of the community. If you are staying only a short time, it would probably be better to stay nearer to the centre. However our group agreed that it was a good place to stay..and good value Initially we had a few minor problems eg hot water gas wasn't switched on but Giovanni soon fixed them.
• Caroline (10/5): Wonderful apartment with a wonderful host. - The apartment is very clean, stylish, has everything you need for a holiday. The views are stunning. Best of all is the owner, Giovanni, who is so helpful and accommodating. We loved everything about the property!
• Guozhao (10/5): Wonderful view - The view is excellent and the room is comfortable. It is difficult to find the apartment and is better to put sign in entrance to via Gaetano Martino.
• Jenni (10/5): Exceptional - Owner was extremely helpful as we got in late due to unfortunate circumstances the apartment was magnificent in a great position with parking
• Louise (9/5): Great value for the money loved it - The views were amazing The apartment was great We liked everything
• Anton (10/5): Best apartments in Taormina - We were a family with 2 children in this boutique and intimate appartments We really enjoyed the place. The host met us, helped with the luggage and explained everything to us about where to travel and spend time in the area. The location is really convenient and is 5 minutes by car from the center. The view from the balcony is amazing. The cleanliness in the rooms is exceptional. Really recommend this place. All was really good
• Emad (9/5): Good enough - Location Far Distance from the town Centre
• Nicola (8/5): Lovely views, modern décor, clean, comfortable - Stunning views from the balcony, which is a full balcony from living area and across both bedrooms. Good kitchen facilities, especially if you like a mix of eating out and cooking at home. Lots of free coffee pods! Nicely decorated with lovely bathrooms*. There was a free clean offered part-way through our stay and we received clean towels - which is quite unusual when you rent an apartment. We spoke to a couple of the owners/caretakers a few times and they were very friendly and helpful. * In one of the bathrooms the shower door had fallen off, which we were informed about on arrival, with the assurance it would be fixed the next day. We stayed for a week and it never got fixed. Whist the following was not a negative for us, as we like walking, I thought it worth mentioning that the Apartment is at the bottom of a very steep road, so consider who you're traveling with if you book. We do a lot of research before we travel and stay anywhere, but others may benefit if there was a provision of local info: restaurant options, where the cable car is etc.
• Filip (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lam (10/5): impressive sea view and tasteful design - spacious and sea view lack of cooking oil
• Antony (9/5): Superb - spectacular view Great to have laundry access
• Peter (9/5): Superb - - great view - quiet area (february) - comfortable beds - good water pressure, hot water - could hear a neighbour sometimes in the evening, but it was quiet at night anyway
• Pawel (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean spacious and comfortable apartament with amazing view to be enjoyed on the terrace. Free parking Space available in the closed parking
• Sumit (10/5): The balcony views alone are worth it. The interior is just as good. - This place had a great location that was in walking distance to main part of Taormina that we wanted to see while still having a safe place to park our motorcycle (or a car). The interior was extremely clean and felt brand new. Everything was incredibly nice, and the balcony was huge, had a wonderful view of the seaside. My wife and I are usually late sleepers, but we made a point to watch the sun rise from the balcony since the setting and the view as that incredible. I can't say enough good things about this place. This is not the property's fault, but the streets to get to it were very confusing. It took me some time to realize that one of the final turns was actually a two-way street, not a pedestrian walkway with an arch.
• Yu (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tamás (10/5): Exceptional - The location was great. The apartment was very well equipped. We enjoyed very much the breakfast on the terrace with a breathtaking view. The private parking was a bonus.
• Cassandra (10/5): AMAZING - Such a beautiful stay. Facilities were great, apartment was beautiful and the view was amazing. Great located so close to everything. Cannot fault anything. Would definitely stay here again.
• Viktorija (10/5): beautiful view, terrace, private parking - beautiful terrace, fresh apartment with big bedrooms and two bathrooms, private parking and private entrance to apartment. beautiful view. Equipped kitchen. Welcomed and told everything about the apartment.
• Matas (10/5): Exceptional - It was nice stay. Apartment was new and clean. Sea view was amazing.
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
