    There was no name to locate the apartment, just an address. Had to communicate with owner to find the place.

    The apartment was very clean and nicely furnished. Rachel and Lugi nice.

    There was nothing we didn’t like but I’d advise future guests to ensure that they keep the air con bins on the balcony upright and empty them regularly to avoid upsetting the neighbours. Ensure the fridge door remains closed by pressing it firmly when shutting.

    The apartment was spacious, tastefully decorated, spotless and well equipped. It had spectacular views and was a short walk from the seafront. The hosts were extremely helpful and very accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to go back some day.

    The location is a bit off the beaten path. You have to take a bus to Taormina town but it’s a short bus ride. The beach was also not great for swimming.

    The apartment was beautiful and super clean. It had everything you would need for a long or short stay. The balcony overlooking the sea was beautiful.

    Noisy place, not Rachel's fault, obviously, but the little mopeds and motorcycles make a lot of noise day and night, throughout the area.

    Rachel was very nice, even took me to the grocery store. Very clean apartment with great views of the sea.

    I wouldn’t say I didn’t like it but it takes car to go Taormina but we did manage with local taxis and Uber.

    amazing view, very spacious and clean. Close to train station. Walking distance to restaurants and public beaches.

    Location a bit between 2 villages. Main road quite noisy, despite the 5th floor and the distance from it. Water system not perfect in the bathroom (noise with cold water in the bathroom sink and bath-shower-head not working properly).

    Host very kind and helpful with good tips for visits. Very nice view from the flat. Many balconies !! Kitchen well equipped. Large beds. Big bathroom with nice bathtub.

    We didn't like that we had to leave. We would have been happy to stay here for our entire trip

    The most beautiful place we've ever stayed. The apartment was elegantly furnished, exceptionally spacious and comfortable, very clean and still very homey. The views from 3 sides were amazing. We were close to everything - the train station, markets, restaurants, bakeries, Taormina and the beaches. The pictures don't do the apartment justice. Rachel was so kind and helpful. She offered to pick us up when she found out we had mobility issues, and took us to a market to make sure we had food and what ever else we needed. Very much appreciated. We highly recommend this property.

    To reach Taormina Center, Isola Bella beach or the cable car that can take you to Taormina, you need a mean of transportation. If you haven’t rented a car or a motorbike, the only way is a taxi, which means 15€ for every ride to or from Taormina Center (for a maximum 10 minute ride). Besides that, it is a beautiful, elegant apartment, with amazing sea view, in a quiet area near the train station! It’s just preferable to have your own vehicle for transportation

    Luigi and Rachel are wonderful and friendly people, they welcomed us with smile on their faces, despite our huge delay. The apartment is gorgeous, really spacious, clean and elegant! The view is breathtaking, you can enjoy your morning coffee at the balcony and start your day the best possible way! Train station within walking distance, also a pizzeria, a mini market and a bakery! Everything was great

    No coffee machine, but you do have a moka pot

    Luigi is the best host! We were able to do an early check-in. We arrived on a Sunday and all the shops were soon closing and he offered to drive us to the nearest supermarket to buy what we needed. Life saver! Location is very good. Walking distance from the train station. From there you can take the bus up to Taormina. Walking distance from a nice beach and great restaurants. The building is close to a very busy street but the bedrooms are not facing that street so it's not very noisy. Amazing sea view, nice furnishings, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen.

    As the apt was located on the road leading to the hospital and a motorcycle repair shop was on the corner it tended to be noisy but it did not affect the bedrooms as they were at the back of the apartment. One bed was very comfy and one was very hard and needed to be replaced.more than one set of towels each and one set of kitchen towels would have been appreciated. Overall a lovely stay and these small things are easily remedied.

    The apt was very spacious, clean and bright. The furniture was lovely and the hosts were responsive and accommodating. The free parking was a bonus!

    Read the fine print. Rachel wanted a cover charge of 100 euro in cash in case we broke something. We did not have cash, so she said she would check everything before we left. We were nervous to touch anything.

    Big spacious, with a view.

    Not as we were expected.

    The property's main upper lock door has a phone cord wrapped to avoid lockdown at the exit. We were not told that even though we adults figured was there for a reason. However we were traveling with young kids, an as typical and curious they are, probably the kids either touched or with the open and closed it got loose, in consecuenquese one of the 3 nights we stayed we arrived at around 9:30 m and we could not get in, the door was looked and none of the other keys we had worked since those keys were for the bottom lock. The host I must say promptly responded to us and sent his wife with a key (she was an hour away distance) it seems they live about 1-hour distance. After an hour of waiting for her, none of the keys she had worked, again we had to wait another hour for her to come back which she did, but then it was past 1:00 am, and we all were tired, exhausted, and angry at that point, kids have to sleep in the rental car ( which thank God we had) for the 4/2 hour ordeal. A total inconvenience for both parties. If you are renting a property it must be properly provided with all keys, and not with a "phone cord acting as a lock holder. We were not offered a discount, money back, or anything, merely an apology, for such a nightmare. The host ( husband) did try his best and we could feel his concern, but the wife had a defensive attitude that we did not appreciate, she make look like it was all our fault, not that I am trying to be apologetic.

    The area is superb, a short distance from Taormina center (10 minutes drive), and the view is a fantastic one, pretty big property and very clean ( 'but' the smell from the septic tank or public sewer was very strong as you walk in the property). Overall the place is not the best priced for what it is, but again we traveled from August 9th-13th it is the busy season. I just think they should really figure out this issue lock because it can happen at any time.
