Spacious 4 BR apartment, Taormina center, multiple terraces w. stunning views

Short facts: Spacious, light-flooded apartment with stunning views of the bay, Taormina historic center, and Mt. Etna. The apartment is located inside the historic city center of Taormina, just a short walk distance from Corso Umberto (the main shopping and restaurant area). It offers four sea view balconies and a large terrace to dine outside. With 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the apartment is ideal for families or a group of friends. You have access to public parking close by.

Full description: The apartment is located in the quiet part of the historic city center of Taormina and all the restaurants, bars, and nightlife locations can be reached within a short walking distance. Since everything can be reached within a short walk and the bus stop of the city line is nearby, no car is needed from what our guests say. The apartment is spacious, light-flooded, and offers stunning 360-degree views of the coastline of Calabria, the bay of Giardini Naxos, the Taormina historic center, Castemola, and Mt. Etna. With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, it is ideal for families or a group of friends.

The apartment offers a spacious terrace for outside dining and five balconies with unique views.

Simply Amazing!
Simply amazing experience! We stayed at Micheal’s apartment for almost a week. It was lovely. The apartment was clean and every room on the sea-view side had a balcony, including the bathroom! There was a full kitchen, and everything was in place. We had supper in the large terrace overseeing the sea and evening lights of the town. The tranquility… no one wanted to go back in. The area was also very conveniently located, walking distance of restaurants, shops, and grocery. The communication with Michael and his partner, Roberto was seamless. They were quick and knowledgeable on every question we asked. The promptness was very important to us as it lessen the stress just knowing what to do and where to go. Try this place, we definitely recommend it. Grazie mille e arriverderici Micheal and Roberto 😊 Joe and Julie

Don't stay here
6 flights of stairs with no lift. Stairwell with no lights. 600 meters to center, but didn't say down alot more stairs and a steep hill. Now we had to go up again through the whole process again. When our concern was voiced to owner he asked me not to write a bad review or he would give us a bad one too. Go ahead give me a bad review

The Views!
Spacious penthouse apartment very close to the center of town. The terrace was wonderful place to hang out and the views are fantastic. The place was well-equipped, beautiful and spacious. The five-story walk up didn't bother us -- the views and privacy were worth it. It was hard to locate the exact building, even for local taxi drivers, gps couldn't pinpoint the building. Check-in was a little difficult. The trash situation was very hard to figure out -- instructions and containers needed.

We had an excellent holiday - the property is central to restaurants shops and the chair lift to the beach. All communication with the property manager has been very good - always prompt with good recommendations. The view from the patio area is stunning. Taormina is relatively hilly though and there are steps to the apartment which you need to be prepared for but for us the views were worth it! Many thanks

Lovely top floor apartment
Four of us stayed here and found the apartment has plenty of room for us. The apartment is a challenging walk uphill to get to and then another challenging walk up several flight stairs but all worth it for the amazing views of the sea on one side and mountains on the other. One large terrace to sit and relax as a group Apartment is a short downhill walk to the main high street and is located in a quiet residential area The apartment has everthing that you need in the kitchen and the owner was great in communicating with me

Great location with great views!
It was a super way to see and immerse ourselves in Taormina and even Castelmola. The flat was well equipped, functional and easy to live in. Given the drying conditions in Taormina it was quite easy to get to by car. Getting into the main part of town was an easy 5 minute walk down the hill. We also enjoyed the easy access to the path up to Castelmola (20 minutes) where we discovered some good places to eat while enjoying spectacular views of Taormina and Mount Etna.

Good views but not close to city center & restaurants.
5th floor apartment/no elevator - understood. NOT a short walk to city center as suggested - long walk up a steep incline to get to apt.. 2 of the bedrooms were very small. Roof terrace was great but other balconies were too small to use. Hope this helps.

Smaller then I thought...
The purpose of this review is to help the next traveler decide if this property is right for them. We had a good time in this apartment but it has its Pros/Cons: Pros: Excellent 2 bedrooms with queen size beds and balconies Fully functional 2 Bathrooms Excellent AC in almost every room Great views of the bay and mountains from the large open terrace Quite location away from the noise and crowds. Feels safe. Brand new working kitchen. Great communication with host, greetings upon arrival, taxi service recommendation etc Cons: The other 2 bedrooms are the size of a shoe box and only suitable for kids 15 or younger. If any adults from your party will have to sleep in one of those rooms, they will be very unhappy. Slope ceiling in the open DR/LR/ space is quite low and at one point going down to almost 4 feet, I hit my head a few times trying to get things out of the closet. Location: from Catania gates you need to walk up quite a bit of steep streets and stairs before you even get to the building and then again up the stairs to the top floor. Once you get there you are out of breath(I was) and need to take a shower. Parking is not easy to find. Would I stay there next time I am in Taormina-probably not. Will try to find something closer to main street without steep hike.

Very nice apartment located close to everything. Great communication even though I didn’t need much Roberto did allow us a late checkout with no problem. The one thing that would have been nice is to have a espresso machine , there is a espresso pot but no coffee to make it. Other than that it’s a great place if you’re visiting Taormina.

Magnificent views. Great location to centre. Comfortable living quarters Only drawback was that the penthouse was on the fifth floor with no elevator. Carrying luggage up 77 steps was difficult. It is not suitable for the elderly or anyone with any physical difficulties. But the stairs were great exercise for the rest of our stay

Apartment with a view!!
The apartment was very clean and modern with beautiful views from every window. Lots of natural light coming in because of all of the windows. Especially enjoyed the terrace with its breathtaking views of the town and water. Short walk to town although it is hilly and has stairs. As stated in the ad the apartment is in the 5 th floor so there are many stairs however the view is worth it. Would highly recommend!! Grazie tante!!

Beautiful Taormina
Taormina is magical. The location of the property is close to the city center, but know that there are many steps/hills to go down -this is just the nature of Taormina. The “5 flights of stairs” has over 50 steps so not for the faint of heart, but my elderly mother managed them each day! The apartment is spacious and we enjoyed the back terrace with a great view of the town’s landscape and small, but awesome view of the sea. The actual complex is in need of landscaping and maintenance, but the apartment itself is nice and clean. The bathrooms were great, and one is especially large. A/C worked great and Roberto was always available when we had questions.
