Guest Reviews
- Liesbeth (8/5): -
- Netty (7/5): Lekkere week gehad - Het uitzicht was echt fenomenaal Alhoewel we het van tevoren wisten, was het toch niet fijn dat er ook andere gasten waren. Dit kwam in de omschrijving van Booking niet duidelijk naar voren. Wij hadden de villa gehuurd voor 6 pers
- Jinmei (10/5): -
- Piotr (10/5): I loved absolutely everything about my stay here! - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An exceptional place – an absolute gem in Taormina! If you are looking for a place that combines luxurious privacy with being close to the heart of Sicily, Villa Zagara Garden is second to none. We had an unforgettable stay and are already planning our return. What made our stay so special? Management & Atmosphere: Huge kudos to the incredible Manager. His professionalism, hospitality, and attention to every detail made us feel truly special. He is a person who genuinely cares about the property and his guests – he was simply wonderful! Cleanliness & Standards: We were pleasantly surprised by the high hygiene standards. The pool was cleaned every single day, which provided great comfort and crystal-clear water in the heat. Furthermore, room cleaning every 3 days (included in the price!) is a standard rarely seen in apartments – everything was spotless! Breathtaking View: The view of Taormina and the sea is simply spectacular. The terrace has been designed/remodelled to take full advantage of the panorama. Photos don’t do it justice – you have to see it with your own eyes, especially at sunrise. Location – "No car needed": Even though the property is incredibly peaceful and intimate, it is just a stone's throw from the very center (close to Corso Umberto and the cable car). We didn’t use a car at all during our stay – we walked everywhere, which is a huge advantage in Taormina. The Verdict: Villa Zagara Garden is a place with a soul. We promised the manager that we will return every time we are in Sicily. If you are looking for perfection – you’ve just found it!
- Yevhenii (10/5): -
- James (10/5): - I had an absolutely wonderful stay in one of the lovely apartments. Lovely views, fantastic staff from start to finish. Very welcoming, helpful and caring. I would highly recommend and I will be going back in the future. Thank you Zagara Team for such a lovely well needed break.
- Cristina (8/5): Ok - View ul Jacuzzi nu era pornit, mai jos erau niște lucrări și a fost un zgomot mare în prima zi de la mașinării. Pe parcursul șederii nu ne-au adus hârtie pentru wc doar Dacă am cerut noi, cazarea nu dispune de cele necesare ( burete de vase, săpun lichid, gel de duș, șampon) absolut nimic decât 2 role de hârtie pentru wc ți se dau la început și apoi nu mai vine nimeni să facă curat sau să îți aducă ceva. În ultima zi am făcut check in si am stat la piscină unde nu ne-au mai lăsat sa utilizam deloc toaleta. Per total ok, insa au nevoie de mici ajustări
- Znote (10/5): - The hosts were very accommodating and consistently available, sharing great advice for discovering Taormina and surroundings. The view from the apartments is breathtaking, and the location is ideal. The children were especially happy to have access to the clean and well‑maintained pool.
- SEbastian (10/5): - Alles ganz neu, sehr freundliches Personal. Super Lage, atemberaubender Meerblick. Anfahrt für geübte Autofahrer, sehr schmale Straßen, wenn man kein Sizilianer ist😂
- Michela (10/5): Godetevi un paradiso di calma e tranquillità prima di visitare Taormina - La cortesia e la disponibilità del proprietario. Persona di una professionalità unica. La vista che avevamo dalla nostra terrazza la definirei mozzafiato. Tutto Curatissimo nei dettagli, pulitissima anche la piscina. Noi abbiamo viaggiato con una bambina di 4 anni e siamo andati a piedi alla spiaggia. Il ritorno, vista la salita, lo abbiamo fatto con la funicolare. La posizione è comodissima per muoversi verso il centro. Voto 10 con lode!
- marcello (10/5): vista spettacolare, tutto perfetto - vista spettacolare su Taormina mare, struttura ben curata, con stanze appena ristrutturate, piscina funzionale troppi scalini per un passeggino
- Muñoz Ramirez (10/5): - Muy bonito
- Aleksi (9/5): Lovely week in Taormina <3 - Emmanuel was a great and friendly host, always taking care of stuff. We really enjoyed our time at Villa Zagara. The view, the location and the room was great. Would have been nice to have a cleaning every day, now it was in every 2/3 days. Wi-Fi could have been better. Also the room equipment level could have been a bit better.
- Kyla (10/5): Weekend in paradise - Great location, spacious apartment, very friendly host. Can’t wait to visit again
- Lucile (10/5): -
- Savia (10/5): FAVOLOSO - Staff cordialissimo, struttura stupenda vista mozzafiato sembra ila paradiso in terra, ci tornerò volentieri!
- Greg (8/5): -
- Robert (10/5): Great location. Enjoyed every day and night spent here. -
- Julia (10/5): -
- Oleksandr (10/5): -
- Antonia (5/5): Lovely view and apartment but few issues - - The view was amazing - Bed was comfortable -Apartment was a good size - Nice garden area -lovely sunrise view (note the pictures are from sunrise and not sunset. -Lack of communication, we sent a few messages and did not get a response. -Was not informed where the bins were and travelling with a baby we had nowhere to dispose of the nappies. - We were not shown where the swimming pool was, not sure if it was even open. Due to the time of the year the garden areas/seating didn't look great but assuming this would be better in the summer. - The apartment was very cold as heating did not work properly. - There was building work going on above and below the apartment. Although this can obviously not be helped it did make things difficult with trying to make a baby nap as it was quite noisy. I feel like they should have made us aware of the work when we booked (only the week before).
- Mathijs (7/5): Matige keuze voor het geld - Locatie en uitzicht. Parkeren voor de deur. Grote televisie Het was slecht onderhouden. Kapotte kastjes, schimmel in de badkamer, vocht in de muren.veel geluid van airco buiten. Oude keuken.
- tomasz (8/5): -
- Vladyslava (7/5): -
- Rippschipp (1/5): - Der Ausblick war schön (bis auf die Baustelle) und die Lage zur Stadt/Meer Die Zimmer waren nicht sauber und sehr in die Jahre gekommen und keineswegs dem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis entsprechend. Als wir ankamen stand noch der volle und riechende Müll der Vorgänger da. Die Bettdecken waren wie man es kennt dünne Laken ohne Zusatzdecke. Auf die Bitte, Decken zu bekommen, kam keine Reaktion. Direkt unterhalb und oberhalb der Unterkunft waren Baustellen, wo ab 07:00 Uhr Baulärm zu hören war. Wir hatten im Vorfeld noch eine zusätzliche Nacht gebucht, was dann am letzten Tag auf Nachfrage nicht mehr möglich war. Somit mussten wir kurzfristig eine andere Unterkunft suchen.
- Chanelle (5/5): Dirty and run down but has a wonderful view. - If you just want a great view book this property. The view is the highlight and the owner and property manager are nice people. We were told we had our own private deck but had to share the same stairs and had other guests walk right past our door peering in, no privacy. I wanted to leave the first night. The apartment wasn’t clean, it was filthy. They need to rethink their cleaner. The shower head was broken and whatever stagnant water in the drain came right back up it within 40 seconds of trying to place the head to try and shower myself. This flooded the whole bathroom. The shower was unable to be used the first night and following morning of my stay. If they had cleaned the shower they would have noticed this and could have given me the option to book another property with basic comforts. I wasn’t offered any reimbursement just an oh well I’ll get it fixed tomorrow for you and no consideration that I paid good money for the basics. The toilet although stickered with hygienically cleaned hadn’t been scrubbed properly in god knows how long, the bowl was black and mouldy. There was dust all over the vanity and a chunk of toothpaste stuck to the wall. The bed was uncomfortable and no blanket was provided. We had to ask twice for a blanket. As the bed was built in you couldn’t use the plug on one side to charge your phone. The bed Fran wasn’t wiped down, everything just felt dirty, except the sheets (thank goodness). Approximately 270 steps to get to the Main Street. Our gate key didn’t work, grateful for the property manager answering his phone at 11:00 or we wouldn’t have been able to get into our apartment. It would do them well to rethink the cleaner and do thorough checks of their apartments. This property is dated and run down, the pool needs a good scrub with a magic eraser to get rid of the green layer of build up.
- Susanna (8/5): - Die Lage, ca. 5 Minuten ins Stadtzentrum und eine Viertelstunde zum Strand Isola Bella ist super. Die Aussicht vom Appartement ist sehr schön. Leider wird diese wirklich schöne Anlage zu wenig gepflegt, was sehr schade ist.
- stuart (7/5): Clean, good view, comfortable bed. - Comfortable bed, lovely view, nice and clean. Lack of plug points in bedroom. Another blanket for bed. Could do with a repaint, freshen up the inside.
- Familie (6/5): - lage top! wohnungseinheit im generellen ok für 1-2 nächte, bett bequem. feuchtigkeitsgeruch in der wohnung
- Julie (6/5): Oke verblijf, maar duur voor wat het is - Fantastisch uitzicht van op de kamer en gelegen op 10min wandelen van het historisch centrum. Bij aankomst moesten we 45min wachten voor er iemand kwam om ons verder te helpen. We kregen toen enkel een sleutel van de kamer, maar niet van de hoofdingang. Nadien hebben we meermaals voor een gesloten voordeur gestaan en zijn we over het muurtje moeten klimmen om binnen te raken. Zelfs na de host meermaals te bellen en te whatsappen om een sleutel te vragen of ons binnen te laten kregen we geen antwoord, zeer vervelend. De badkamer was ook vuil (afgebrokkeld plaaster en schimmel in de douche. Ook het zwembad had vuile onverzorgde groene randen en was niet uitnodigend om te gebruiken.
- David (8/5): - Apartamento bonito con unas vistas espectaculares y cuentas con tu propio jardin y mini piscina. Sí que el estado del apartamento y la atención del personal son bastante mejorables.
- Richard (6/5): - The views from this accommodation are stunning - the town, Taomina, is sited on the side of a hill. There is a long climb (steps) to the centre of the attractive town with excellent shopping and restaurants and a cable car down to the beach area. There are coaches available to get around This property is not a hotel more an air B&B. There is a sun deck and pool - but parking is difficult. The kitchen has the usual facilities.
- Filippo (10/5): Beautiful view, great location, would stay here over and over. - The location was a close walk to the center of town and the view was insane!
- Camilla (9/5): Was mostly good with a couple of small issues - Excellent location, pool and fantastic views. Very helpful host - we were able to check in soon after we arrived earlier than expected. Bed was really comfortable with great sheets! Got plenty of local recommendations and help with a taxi to the airport. Thank you for a great stay The kitchen and bathrooms could do with some updating. Good to have 2 bathrooms but would prefer one more modern one. Kitchen has only enough for basic cooking/eating. Fridge old and small and loud, with no storage compartments in the door.
- Jill (3/5): Lovely views but not well maintained - Fabulous location, close to main area, beautiful views The property has not been well maintained. The entrance of the apartment had grass which was about a foot long and there was a broken door to the storage room next to the entrance - not the nicest first impression. The general state of the property was poor, kitchen not the best, grubby tiles, stains on the inside of the units. There was a storage unit in the living area which almost fell on top of me when I first opened it as it wasn’t secured to the wall. It has the potential to be a nice apartment but needs some maintenance to bring it up to a decent standard - basic maintenance would have improved the appearance of the property
- Sébastien (2/5): Tourist trap - The location The view The kindness of the staff - except the owner Don't go there. The second most expensive, and by far the worst of our Sicilian rentals. The pictures don't show the place as it is today. Inside and outside, it's hard to lay eyes on anything that isn't in need of maintenance, cleaning, or both. We rented an apartment with a whirlpool bath. It was only a quarter full of dirty water. When we wrote to the owner, he told us it was not included in the reservation. When we showed him that it wasn't true, he never replied.
- Mpet57 (4/5): Loin d'être à la hauteur du prix payé - La vue splendide depuis la piscine. Lit plutôt confortable Vous payez clairement la vue, et uniquement la vue. L'appartement est loin d'être à la hauteur du prix payé. (Cf photos) Beau potentiel mais malheureusement très mal exploité. - Propreté négligée - appartement modestement équipé - tout l'appartement est à rafraîchir - la douche de la 2e salle de bain est vraiment petite - les vitres ne sont pas propres - Cuisine peu équipée
- Liborio (6/5): -
- Sara (10/5): - Ottima posizione, comode e accoglienti le camere con tutto il necessario. Vista eccezionale. Peccato per la piscina poco curata
- giuseppe (2/5): Je y mettrais plus les pieds même gratuit - La vue La propreté bâtiment délabré pas entretenu piscine sale jacuzzi très sale et pas d eau fourmis dans la cuisine douche moisissures préservatif dans la poubelle des personnes avant nous une catastrophe à fuir
- Viviana Andrea Marin (4/5): - The property was very high from the town! Parking and access is terrible. Then inside the property so many stairs to carry luggage up and down m, super inconvenient. I won’t recommend this place. I would stay in a real hotel with guess services and easy access to the city and beach
- Mette Oht (8/5): - Super smuk udsigt fra vores terrasse lige ud til poolen. Dejligt stille hotel med god plads og god placering ift. strand og by.
- Krzysztof (2/5): Złe warunki sanitarne - Widok był jedyną rzeczą wartą uwagi w tym obiekcie - ale to zaleta większości miejsc i hotelu w Taorminie. Brudne leżaki dookoła basenu, na materacach były ciemne plamy. Wewnątrz pokoju ściany były niepierwszej świeżości, ale najgorszy był grzyb pod prysznicem w fugach między płytkami, na płytkach i przy drzwiach od prysznica. Obrzydlistwo za 250 euro za noc - spodziewałem się przynajmniej minimum w kwestiach sanitarnych. W dodatku obsługa nie uznała roszczeń za zasadne, odmówiono zwrotu środków za nocleg. Booking niewiele zdaje się być w stanie zrobić. Przeczyścili ten prysznic po pierwszym dniu, ale nadal widać było grzyba. Tragedia, nie polecamy!
- Hayden (10/5): - Great location and breathtaking outlook from rooms and the pool
- Mengsi (7/5): Good -
- Agata (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jochem (9/5): Great views, in between the beach and the town. -
- Mert (10/5): Wish to come again - View was super They should put more windows to see the beautiful sea from the bed. It was all wall
- Nicole (1/5): Disappointed in communication and missold my stay - Lovely location I had to spend a night in a smaller room, as someone else was in my room. I was late to the wedding due to this. I was told it’s because the pool was broken at first then I was told I’d be refunded 50% of the first night. I spent my first and only free morning with no work waiting to go into my paid apartment. I’ve had no response to my messages and given bank details as asked
- Hirotake (10/5): Exceptional -
- Josie (10/5): Exceptional - It was beautiful, clean, the view was amazing and the cable car passing adds quirk ❤️ it was so cute. We had lovely photos Our host Emmanuel was the best. Grazie ❤️
- Tanja (8/5): Lovely resort. - Amazing view. Kind and helpful Staff. Shower was small and water time long to heat.
- Puran (10/5): Exceptional - Great location with incredible views and easy access to town and beach, incredible and friendly host.
- Preston (7/5): Beautiful but the wifi and all outlets didn’t work :/ - It was a super cute place with pretty views! Just had problems with the wifi not working at all and the chargers and outlets not working either… this was upsetting because I texted the owner and he never responded to the text or apologized :(
- Agnieszka (7/5): Nice view - Excellent localization, parking spot avaiable, nice view, friendly personel. Small bathroom, garden area not prepared, garden furnitures were dirty. It was beginning of the season and it is obvious that guests probably will not use pool however it was nice and sunny and despite season all amenities should be ready if there are any bookings.
- Suvinai (7/5): Joyful - Good location
- Renata (10/5): Exceptional -
- Golsang (9/5): Location was great with amazing view. - The view and the host. Also good location. The units are too close together and we could hear next door guests even though they were not loud.
- A (7/5): Good - De douche cabine was erg klein en oncomfortabel. En weinig privacy.
- Francis (8/5): Great - Good location for fit people Lovley views Very helpfull host Would have been nice to have cleaners in
- Sarah (10/5): Exceptional -
- Srinivasa (6/5): - No bath soap nor air dryer provided and one shower was very tiny.
- Artistry (8/5): We really enjoyed our stay and the easy walk into town and the beautiful vistas! - The location was perfect for walking around Taormina. Emmanuel was a very attentive host. The fact that we had to practically beg for the heat to be turned on!! We should have control over the heat in our space and not have to ask for it. This made us very uncomfortable a lot of the time. Also the lighting in the living room was either a big bright set of lights or nothing. So that wasn't comfortable either, especially with glass doors on the bedroom with the light shining fully in!
- Kubiak (3/5): Great view, but disappointing stay. - The property has some great features. The view from the hillside location is absolutely stunning, making it one of the highlights of our stay. The owner was also very friendly and helpful, which we truly appreciated. Additionally, the free parking was a convenient bonus. Unfortunately, there were several drawbacks that made our stay less enjoyable. First, the property looks much better in photos than in reality—it is in need of a major renovation. Another significant issue was the temperature in our room. It was cold, the air conditioning didn’t work, and the heating was only turned on in the evenings. The small heater provided was not sufficient to ensure comfort. Additionally, the listing mentioned a private terrace, but in reality, it was a shared passageway with the neighboring apartment. This meant that other guests could look directly into our windows, which was uncomfortable and not what we expected. Another major downside is the orientation of the terraces and the pool. This important detail wasn’t mentioned in the description, but all outdoor areas face north, meaning there is sun only until around 1:00 PM. If someone expects to sunbathe in the afternoon, they will be disappointed—just like we were. Ultimately, we decided to leave earlier than planned. Instead of staying for five nights, we only stayed for two. The owner agreed to refund us for two nights, although we are unsure why not for three, considering we checked out before 10:00 AM—but at least we got something back.
- Diana (2/5): Avoid This Place, Especially in Winter!! Our stay was incredibly disappointing, and I strongly advise against choosing - The views are nice • Pictures dont reflect in any way the reality of the property’s state - Poor maintenance and unprepared for winter. • Hot water issues and unreliable shower. • Uncomfortable beds (mattresses on hard surfaces). • Heating problems, freezing at night. • Dirty kitchen and utensils. • Limited amenities (only 2 small pouches of shower gel for 3 people). • Street parking and hard to find a spot when Taormina is busy • Unsafe at night due to poor lighting, not kids friendly - advertised cover for the pool in winter is non existing • Grumpy, unhelpful owner
- Edward (7/5): Good. - Great location. Lots of climbing stairs and busy streets.
- Andrew (9/5): The staff (owners) made us feel very welcome & at home. - The property is stunning & the staff is very kind! Breathtaking view!
- Babayeva (9/5): Superb -
- Alexandre (8/5): Amazing view and cosy room - Great view, comfortable room with everything we needed to cook and enjoy Taormina, I particularly appreciated the books in English. The flat was a bit humid.
- Melanie (9/5): Superb - Very nice room, great location everything in walking distance, amazing view!
- nicolas (6/5): - Logement bien placé. Le canapé convertible n'était pas confortable. Il n'y avait pas de tire bouchon dans la cuisine !!
- Hannah (9/5): Wonderful place to stay in Taormina - Fantastic pool area with comfy loungers and beautiful sea view. Location is perfect as it’s a short walk up to the main town but the area is quiet and you can even walk down to the beach or get the cable car nearby. Apartment was spacious with a comfy bed. Nothing
- Lee (9/5): Superb -
- Susan (9/5): Superb -
- Genevieve (7/5): Great last minute stay for the price. - Nice villa with AC, modern furniture, 2 bathrooms, one room and a sofa bed in the living room . nice view of the bay. The funicular passes right in front and going down to the beaches ! The pool was dirty. Even with a robot it didn’t clean. It was full of sand at the bottom. The grounds of our villa was not well kept. Grass was long and the small pool behind was all dirty water. But it was fine, we were going around all day/night. Where the villa is located, you have to walk up a lot of stairs to get to the Main Street where the shops and restaurants are. After 2 days it was a bit much. And tough on the kids .
- Holly (5/5): Put in a unadvertised, dirty room with faulty shower and mouldy bathroom - Close to town Pool During our stay we noticed that we weren’t provided the room that we booked which was supposed to be a full sea view room on the second floor with a sun bed and umbrella. We were disappointed with our room as it was only a partial sea view which could only be accessed from the balcony of other people’s rooms. In addition to this, the room that we stayed in wasn’t even advertised on the site we booked on. The room we stayed in had many issues. The ensuite bathroom had a faulty shower, which had to be held to operate (not very enjoyable when trying to have relaxing shower) and the bathroom near the kitchen was dirty and mouldy. The floors were filthy, extremely dirty and dusty. It is evident that the room was improperly cleaned before our stay. Additionally, there was a lack of general amenities as well available. This is unacceptable, given the dear price we paid for sub-par accommodation. Another recommendation is to put a railing in the front private pool as my friend got injured (bruised badly on hip and arm) from falling into the pool due to slipping. There are also no stairs in the small front pool which is another cause for hazards. All in all, we were really excited to stay at the beautiful accomodation advertised. Instead, we were put in a room that wasn't advertised, which was extremely dirty.
- Tom (10/5): Beautiful, clean accommodation with spectacular views and welcoming host - Everything about our stay here was just wonderful. We were met by Zagara on our arrival who showed us around the property and she was so helpful with information about the local area and where to visit/eat etc. The accommodation itself was clean and comfortable with the most spectacular views which were worth every single penny. The location was perfect for the town, cable car and beach and as a family with two young boys, the pool was perfect for cooling down - lovely and clean with loungers for relaxing. It was our first stop on a tour of Sicily and I can’t have imagined a better place to start our trip. And to top it all off, we left our youngest’s precious comforter in the apartment when we left and Zagara went absolutely above and beyond to get it back to us. We honestly can’t thank you enough. Hope to visit again in the future and would recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting Taormina 😊 Nothing
- Ivan (10/5): Exceptional - location and the view the bathroom was a little small
- Shirley (9/5): Superb - Lovely property great location The shower didn’t drain away quickly
- L.m. (7/5): Nice place, would come again - We were allowed for late check out. Nice view. Nice pool. Nice host. Good bed (not the sofa bed) Kitchen well equipped Some morning cappucino / fresh bread service would be nice. We were with 3 adults, but only 2 nice chairs outside Curtains came down and toilet continued flushing ALthough we informed via Whatsapp the arrival time, we had to wait in the rain to get in.
- L.m. (9/5): great - Great view Very nice pool Nice appartment with great outside space and privacy Good bed maybe one more sunscreen at the pool would be nice?
- Rebecca (8/5): Family holiday - The views at this property are amazing and the short walk to main centre of taromina your paying for location, views and have your own pool and it was very quiet away from the busy centre It needs updating
- Ramiro (8/5): Very good -
- Sam (6/5): A good option to enjoy the beautiful town of Taormina. - Pool. Availability of sun beds good. A few more parasols would be helpful. Excellent views.
- Suciaghi (10/5): Exceptional - The view makes all the money, the staff is very nice, clean apartment and good located. The only thing is that was very hot inside the bedroom. There is an AC in the kitchen, but it is not enough. Other than that, I would recommend it to anyone
- Angelika (10/5): Exceptional - Our two-night stay at Villa Zagara was incredible. The villa had a spectacular view of the sea and a beautiful pool where we spent most of our time relaxing. Taormina was just a short walk away, and we enjoyed strolling through the charming streets and dining at fantastic local restaurants. The combination of the peaceful villa and the lively town made for a perfect getaway.
- Lara (10/5): A great Villa in Taormina with friends - the Villa was lovely, the view was wonderful. Clean all around and great amenities. Beds were also bery comfortable. Host was extremely nice and welcoming.
- Andrzej (10/5): Perfect location, beautiful views, piece and quite with stone throw distance to town centre. Amazing - We really enjoyed the stay in Villa Zagara, it was exactly want we we looking for. Close to the centre but for away so no town noises. Beautiful views! Pool. Piece and quite. We felt like we had place for ourselves.
- Lisa (10/5): Beautiful stay with a great panorama - The apartment was beautiful and the absolute highlight for us was the private small swimming pool/jacuzzi. The apartments are very well located for walking into both directions, down to the beach and upwards into the scenic town of Taormina. The hosts were really nice and sent us a lot of suggestions and advice via whats app. There were no parking spces in front of the house which was not a problem as we could use public parking spaces for free that were quite close, which was okay for us.
- Amel (10/5): Exceptional - Spectacular Nothing
- Lydia (10/5): A wonderful stay in a quiet apartment with excellent views. - Zagara messaged us via WhatsApp before our arrival and met us at the property
- Chuzhik (9/5): Great stay, amazing and very responsive host. Would book again! - There were people servicing the pool for almost a full day, so we didn't feel that we had full privacy.
- Susan (9/5): Perfect location for a Taormina stay - Stunning location …from the two terraces you can sit and look right across the bay. Large, airy, comfortable villa just a 10 minute walk from the centre of town and the beach cable car. Quiet private garden to relax in with a shared but quiet pool for a cooling dip.
- Saskia (9/5): Lovely villa! - We were met by Francesco who was lovely, he checked us in, showed us around and gave us lots of local recommendations and things to do. It was really easy and smooth and we also checked in a little earlier too which was amazing. The pool is fantastic and the walk to the town and beach isn't far at all.
- Amanda (6/5): It was ok for 3 nights - Modern clean inside. Outside was very tiered looking, spa full but not clean on arrival, then emptied and not refilled.
- Jillian (10/5): Beautiful place and setting! - Great location close to the city centre and the cable car to get to the beach. Amazing view from the property and pool! Room was very comfortable, has great AC and everything you need. The hosts gave us lots of local recommendations as well! This is not a dislike but more of notice to be aware of - to get to the city centre or cable car for the beach you have to climb a lot of stairs or up hill - just be prepared for that!
- Harriet (10/5): Perfect romantic trip - Friendly arrival, the place is as gorgeous as it looks. Its really close to the cable car station, as well as the town. Lovely views, quiet locatiom near the town and a very warm welcome. Me and my partner are already plannong on coming back. Thank you
- Jiten (8/5): Great location and spacious villa with beautiful terrace with outdoor seating to enjoy view. - Good communication with the host - Emanuel and his family before and during the stay. Met me on time and very helpful throughout the stay. The view was great and convenient to reach the town up the hill and the beach down below. We had hired a large van for our group of 8 and driving / parking in town was not easy so we walked and took taxis when needed. Host was very helpful with parking. Villa was spacious. Kitchen was a little difficult to use - more commercial than residential but we got by. Limited utensils even for basic breakfasts but we managed. Sofa bed not as comfortable - so ideally sleeps 6 in three bedrooms. Minor bathroom niggles - shower heads not always stable. Hosts were very helpful and present to handle any remediable issues.
- Diane (9/5): Superb -
- Joanne (8/5): Very good - stunning views in a great location overlooking the bay. We stayed in the Garden Apartment with jacuzzi - nice to have the privacy, garden was pretty and the host set up the jacuzzi when we wanted to use it. Inside the apartment was basic, but clean and comfortable with most items you would need for a stay. Worth noting for anyone looking to stay, there are a lot of steps around the property as well as the walk up to the centre of Taormina (we counted 280 steep steps!) - so might not be appropriate for those with restricted mobility. don’t really have a dislike as such, but a couple of areas of improvement we would suggest - a toaster would be helpful, the oven grill took a long time to heat and toast bread; kettle leaked and knives were not sharp enough. Also, whilst there were large double wardrobes, most of the space was taken up with extra bedding and storage for the host. Only 5 coat hangers and no drawers so we were unable to unpack which was annoying for a 6 night stay. There was also a bit of maintenance work being carried out that required access to the garden - would have been nice to have some notice; it woke us a couple of times and restricted us from using the outside space when they were around.
