Guest Reviews
- Judith-Aliz (10/5): -
- Tamara (10/5): Perfect - De eigenaresse was heel behulpzaam, de locatie was prachtig en het appartement was super schoon. Ik heb eigenlijk niets wat niet goed was.
- Leszek (10/5): - Everything you need to stay for a few days in Taormina, silent place, balony, perfect location and nice host :)
- Berardone (9/5): -
- Wendy (9/5): - Had issues with hot water but everything else was excellent
- Maignan (9/5): Super logement récent qui aide a passer un agréable séjour ! Cependant, petit ballon d’eau chaude qui peut être embêtant -
- Debbie (7/5): - It was a great location and very clean. Alot of stairs to drag your luggage up and we didn't seem to have any hot water for the shower
- Barbara (9/5): Comfy apartment in great location. - Great location and very comfortable. Beautifully presented compact apartment. Very enjoyable stay.
- Christian (8/5): Excelente estadia - La ubicación es excelente, a 50 metros de Puerta Catania, donde todo comienza, locales comerciales, bares, musica , restaurantes.
Para los futuros viajeros que se hospeden aqui les recomiendo que si llegan a la ciudad en tren ( Taormina-Giardini) tomen un taxi en la puerta , precio unico de €20 y le digan a puerta catania , el taxi los deja a 50 metros de Casa Christine, si por el contrario usan el Bus Local los va a dejar en el otro extremo, en Puerta Mesina y de ahi tendrán que caminar unos 12 minutos , aproximadamente 1 kilometro hasta el hospedaje ya que los buses no llegan mas de ahi ..
Las vistas desde Casa Christine son hermosas, todo el departamento es limpio y funcional
La comunicación con el host fue excelente para el proceso de check in y demás El agua caliente de la ducha del baño tiene sus problemas, no dura nada , un minuto de agua caliente y ya , no llegas a ducharte completamente. Hicimos lo que nos pidieron para que salga calentita pero nada .. solo un minuto y sale fria ... ..

- Céline (8/5): - La situation, l'appartement est bien placé et comporte tout ce qu'il faut à part de l'eau chaude et de la lumière Le manque d'eau chaude dans la douche et de lumière dans la salle de bain qui s'éteignait toute seule quand on était sous la douche froide.
L'hôte très réactif avant notre arrivé mais aucune nouvelle de sa part suite à mon message sur les lumières défaillantes.
- Eszter (9/5): - Excellent location. Wardrobe design.
- Demi (10/5): - Great stay. Right in the city center but in a quiet street, which is nice because Taormina is very crowded. Christine let us check in early and was very communicative. The balcony is great! Nothing
- Jonardo (10/5): Comfortable, good location, cheaper than others. - Very near (short walk) to tourist attractions/main shopping street, restaurants, grocery store, & overlooking areas. very clean apartment. comfortable bed. modern studio apartment with large fridge, small dining, and a kichenette in case you need to cook. with small balcony. safe neighborhood. a few bus stops to the beach. and near funicular. free espresso. easy check in/out. with welcome drink/snack. ads photos are real. no elevator, but it’s ok, only 2nd floor. Christine is a friendly and hospitable host.
- Jorge (10/5): Muy cómodo y muy buena ubicación para ver Taormina - La ubicación buenísima y el alojamiento muy agradable, buenas vistas y cómodo
- Salma (4/5): Disappointing - I really liked the apartment: very modern, with a nice view, and located right in the city center of Taormina. Everything about it was perfect, except for the shower! Unfortunately, the shower was broken and there was no consistent hot water. We were two people, but the hot water was barely enough for one. Once, it even stopped completely while I was still showering with shampoo in my hair, and I had to finish with freezing cold water. Another time, there was no hot water at all for my friend, and we had to boil water instead. Sadly, communication with the host was also very slow, she was often not online when we needed her. And for the money we paid, it was so disappointing to have to spend it without proper hot water, which is one of the most important things, especially after the beach.
- Blazej (8/5): - Klimatyzacja wymaga serwisu, jest bardzo głośna i nieszczelna.
- Celina (9/5): - De centrale ligging in Taormina was perfect! In het appartement hadden we alles wat we nodig hadden. Het bed lag comfortabel, we hadden prachtig uitzicht vanaf het balkon en naar onze mening is dit de beste prijs kwaliteitverhouding van Taormina. Wij lange Nederlanders moesten schuin zitten op de wc, maar dat is niet erg ;)
- Dott. D'Alessio (10/5): Un incanto - Ottima posizione. Fresca brezza la sera, comoda e funzionale. Nulla
- Elodie (9/5): Perfetto - Logement très mignon, propre et super literie.
L'hôte était très réactive. La climatisation n'était pas super efficace. Rapport aux autres logements que nous avions, il a fallu mettre au plus bas pour avoir un peu de fraîcheur.
Mais vu tout le reste du logement, ça n'est rien.
- rossana (10/5): -
- vardè (8/5): Soggiorno gradevole in struttura pulita in buona posizione vicino porta Catania. - Letto comodo e struttura pulita Non era precisato che ci fossero scale particolarmente ripide e bagno con finestra che però dava su uno sgabuzzino…. Quindi cieco
- Hannah (10/5): -
- Gergely (9/5): Superb - Great location, bed and view from the balcony. Clean apartment. Water heater could heat water faster as electricity is switched off without the key. Luckily in summer it’s not an issue :)
- Eugenio (10/5): Perfect! - Absolutely everything Perhaps the toilet seat is a bit tight, a tall person would not fit
- Oliver (10/5): Great experience for a lovely price. Recommend. - Got early checkin, bottle of wine. Excellent location, friendly host solving all issues immediately.
- Geoff (5/5): The lovely view from the balcony (& Taormina) rescued what was otherwise a very disappointing stay. - We loved the views from the balcony. The location provided easy access to the town centre. The bed linen was of poor quality and we could have done with an extra pillow each. Had we been notified before we arrived of an additional 40 euro charge for a change of bed linen and towels, we would have budgeted for it. So we decided to persevere with what was provided for the whole two weeks. The bathroom was far too small. The shower water ran cold very quickly. and the built-on cupboard made the bathroom suffocatingly hot with very little ventillation. We had constant sleepless nights due to the level of noise outside. The street appears to be a main thoroughfare for scooters and other loud traffic throughout the night. This, together with daily refuse collections in the early hours of the morning.
- Krawczyk (7/5): Good - Great location Very small, couldn't turn the heating on, the beach towels wasn't provided
- Joanne (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely apartment in the centre of Taormina. Beautiful views from the balcony and the lovely Christina let me check in early. Would highly recommend
- Tom (8/5): Great location - Great location on the edge of the town centre.
- Manny (4/5): Lovely casa. Great location. Horrible checkout experience with Salvador. - Please read the review in detail to understand my rating, which I’m being 100% upfront about.
I LOVED the casa. Perfect location. Easy check in experience. Nice views from the balcony. A very cosy studio apartment. I proactively reached out to Christine two weeks in advance to get the access code, which l received on the day of check in.
I paid the tourist tax in cash and left it on the kitchen table per instructions. I took care of the casa like my home and left it clean and tidy. Christine was kind enough to accommodate late check out, which I appreciated. Thank you for doing that.
The issue occurred during my check out experience. Shortly after check out time, I was all packed up and ready to head out. As there isn’t an elevator in the building, I was grabbing my suitcase and bags and I heard a loud knock on the door. Thinking it’s maybe the cleaning staff, I opened it with my suitcases all ready to go and I see a “strange” man standing right in front of me with his camera phone pointed at me and recording me without my consent. He didn’t even greet me just pointed his camera right at me. I asked why he’s recording me without my consent and after a minute he stopped. He claimed he wasn’t recording me (which obviously was a lie). I asked his name, he claimed he didn’t speak any English but said his name was Salvador. I asked if he was the cleaning staff, or maybe Christine’s husband but he didn’t give details. I told him I’m leaving and the casa is in excellent condition, and I showed him where I left the cash tourist tax (I also took a picture for my own proof of where I left the cash as requested).
This was a very strange experience with Salvador. For all I know he could’ve been a scammer or maybe a thief or someone who’s up to no good. What bothered me is he recorded me without my consent and thought it was acceptable. I Immediately left and put the keys in the box downstairs per Christine’s instructions. A VERY strange experience.
- Karen (7/5): Noisy but well equipped apartment - Host left clear instructions for check-in and check-out and enabled us to check in a bit earlier. The flat is well equipped for self catering. Having an iron and ironing board and an umbrella were big pluses for us. Comfortable bed. Bottle of wine in the room in arrival was a nice touch. For us there was too much noise to be a restful break. Too much noise came from the flat above (particularly children running around and screaming and what sounded like a party on Sunday). The doors slam every time someone enters tor leaves the block and the other apartment. There was a lot of noise from the street all through the night (revving car and bike engines, deliveries to the hotel opposite with slamming doors). We booked a room with a balcony purposely to be able to use it, but there wasn't a table or chairs, so booking the balcony was wasted. There wasn't enough hot water for one person to have a normal length shower. The presence of a bidet in the bathroom made the usable space difficult and it wasn't possible to sit straight on the toilet because of the wall in front being too close. There wasn't any electricity in the apartment on our final morning. The host mentioned there were known works in the area that morning. This information should have been communicated to us in advance so we could have planned ahead. A few cleanliness issues (stained sheet and blanket, dusty skirting and sockets, saucer covered in coffee stains). If you can cope with these issues then don't be dissuaded from booking as otherwise it's a nice flat.
- Bartosz (9/5): Great tiny and cozy apartament with amazing view - Very tiny but cozy flat with amazing view from the balcony. One downside for us was that there was no table and chairs on the balcony, despite it, it was amazing to woke up in the morning, open doors to balcony and see sea and also old town of Taormina.
- Robert (9/5): Superb -
- Steven (10/5): Very comfortable apartment in the heart of Taormina -
- Richard (8/5): Very good -
- Janet (10/5): Great views and comfortable secure environment. - Spacious Studio with lots of room. Kitchen has everything you need to cook. Great view and very easy access to everything in town.
- Petra (9/5): Superb - Great location with contactless check-in, so you can arrive at any time. Very well equipped apartment, comfortable bed. I definitely recommend it.
- Scott (9/5): Superb -
- Sandro (6/5): Pleasant -
- Rick (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alfred (10/5): Steps away from beauty! - Very clean and modern apartment with everything you need. It was steps away from everything with great views. It was private, cozy and quite. I recommend this place to everybody! I can’t wait to return. Nothing to say
- Skye (10/5): We had an amazing stay at Casa Christine. - The apartments location was perfect. The view from the balcony was beautiful. The host was lovely and easy to communicate with.
- Lisa (10/5): Wonderful view from terrace, comfortable, clean and convenient - We had a lovely stay at Casa Christine. The apartment was convenient for everything and bedding was comfortable. The terrace has a fabulous view looking up to the hills and down to the sea. The area was reasonably quiet at night. Christine was always prompt in replying when asked questions. We liked everything
- Dominika (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect. We had a wonderful time in Taormina. Apartment had a good location. Everything what we needed was included. I truly recommend.
- Malgorzata (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful located and very cosy, perfectly furnished apartment with all necessary items.
The owner very nice and helpful.
- Lis (10/5): I absolutely recommend. beautiful apartment - I would absolutely recommend this house. we are a couple. I found all the comforts in the apartment, but the most important thing is that it is located right above the main street, and behind it we had a beautiful supermarket, bars, typical restaurants. Very convenient especially because there is also a large paid car park nearby so we didn't have to think about where to put the car. I recommend and we will return. Many greetings to Christine who offered us her help in advising us on many things.
