Nice property situated near the beach, it was set out a bit strange, the kitchen was tiny and all the cutlery and crockery was in the lounge area. WiFi was only ok, the tv was small. Nice comfy beds, although it was on a main road could hardly hear the traffic. View fro the bedrooms and patio area was lovely.

Such a fantastic stay with a kind and attentive host. Giusi was so lovely and easy to communicate with. She visited the evening of our arrival and was so warm and friendly. The property is perfect. The bedrooms are comfortable with great (much needed) aircon, the balcony is breathtaking with views of the sea and beach.The location couldn’t be better. Steps to the Funivia to go up to the town with numerous bars and restaurants. You can walk down the steps to Mazzaro Beach and Isola Bella. Just opposite are very handy shops to pick up food and drinks aswell as little takeaways selling delicious Sicilian food. Thank you Guisi. See you when we visit again.

Amazing location! steps from the cable car, Isola Bella, and Bell’Assai (where we had our favorite meal in all of Italy). The location could not be better. If you need to park, you can use the lot by the cable car. The apt has everything you need, and is wonderfully cool and comfortable. The views from the balcony are breathtaking.

Fabulous stay in an amazing location

This apartment is perfect! The view from the veranda takes your breath away and you just want to sit there straight away with a glass of wine and relax!The apartment is owned by the host, Guisi, and she was there to greet me on arrival and show me around the apartment. It was spotlessly clean and had 2 bedrooms of similar size, both of which had amazing views out over the sea.My friend and I arrived by car. We were lucky that there were 2 parking bays for unloading just near the apartment and they were available. We then moved the car 150 metres down the road to the car park for the cable car. Parking was free if you can get a space. You don't have to pay until July to park there. If there are no spaces you can drive to the back of this car park and up the slope where you will find private parking for 20 euros a day. We were lucky and managed to find a space each time.The apartment looks out over Mazzaro beach, which is definitely the better beach. The other beach that looks over Isola Bella is much more crowded and touristy. Check the cost of the sun loungers before you commit. One lot charged 25 euros a day and the next ones down charged 15 euros a day!There is a small supermarket across the road and a slightly larger one just down the road. The cable car is a 3-4 minute walk away and goes every 15 minutes up to Taormina. The ride takes 4-5 minutes and costs 6 euros one way or 10 euros for a return. The cable cars continue until around 1am.A perfect apartment!

Very comfortable flat, spectacular seafront view, convenient location

Giusi, our host, welcomed us at the front door of the flat and immediately made us feel at home. Our jaws dropped when we walked out onto the seafront terrace with its cheerful geraniums, comfortable seats, and spectacular panoramic view of Mazzarò Bay. The photos of the terrace on the VRBO website do not do it justice. Though the flat is on the busy Via Nazionale, you wouldn’t know it once you’re inside. No traffic noise at all. Another great aspect of the flat is its convenient location. It’s a short walk from the cable car up the mountain to Taormina (a fun ride!). It’s also a short walk from the stairway up the mountain with its wonderful views of the coastline, and to the stairway down to the beach leading to Isola Bella. Across the street from the flat is a well-stocked mini-market where we were able to buy all the groceries we needed. Since we were on our honeymoon, we enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the romantic Ristorante Sant’Andrea in the five-star Belmond hotel—3 minutes walk away from the flat. We also enjoyed an afternoon at the public beach at the far end of Mazzarò Bay. As we told Giusi at the end of our stay, we would definitely stay here again and for more than the brief three-night visit on our first trip to Sicily.

Perfect location and sea views

The location is perfect. Much less busy than the city of Taormina. The apartment is on a hilltop looking down at a lovely bay and Mozzaro beach. Lots of restaurants with sea views and 3 min walk from bus and taxi stands and the cable cars. Unfortunately the cable cars were under repair during our visit as this would have been super convenient to quickly get up to Taormina. Should reopen soon. Apt was well equipped and host was very helpful. Can’t beat the location. Especially in busy tourist season.

Ideal location for exploring the local area and fantastic views from the terrace.

The apartment was clean and bright and provided for all our needs and more. Giusi was the perfect host, meeting us on arrival, and helping us to arrange a taxi for our return to the airport. She also provided fresh milk as requested, so we could enjoy a cup of tea at apartment- a must for us Brits. The view from the terrace was the best part of the accommodation and we spent time enjoying sunrises and nighttime views alike. It was the perfect location for us to explore both the town of Taormina, being a 5 minute walk from the cable car up to the town, and for accessing the local beaches and buses to take us further afield. We would happily stay again, without hesitation.

This rental is magical! When I walked in the view took my breath away. Giusi is an angel. The apartment was spotless and well cared for. Giusi was really helpful and gave us the name of a taxi driver who was so wonderful that he took is all over for four days. I cannot rave enough about this place and it's lovely owner.

5-Star Stay in Taormina

My wife and I visited Sicily for the first time and we had a wonderful time. Giusi, who is the homeowner was very lovely to work with and talk to from beginning to end. To start, she helped organize transportation to and from the airport, which was one less thing to worry about. Upon arrival, she was there to greet us and give us a tour of her home, which was a nice gesture after a long trip. We also communicated some via text message with a few questions that we had during our stay and she was always very prompt in responding. Additionally, the property was in a great location near the beautiful beaches - Isola Bella beach and Lido Pigna Beach and also very close to the cable car to take up to the Corso Umberto. The house was very clean and organized. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Taormina and we'll be returning in the future.

Stellar little apartment!

I loved how clean and ergonomic this spot was, and how it was super-efficient to reach both beaches :) We ended up preferring Mazzaro beach and loved being near it. Location is also close to the cable car - big plus! One bummer was just the reality of Taormina - parking is worse than painful. And an official wouldn’t even let us park for 60 seconds to load our bags when we were trying to leave. Anyway, this place met our needs extremely well and Guisi was very communicative and helpful!

Excellent location

Guisi is a wonderful host who made us feel very welcome. She organised a taxi for us from the airport which was very helpful and then met us at the apartment to show us round and give us some information. She also left us fruit, water and beer along with some other snacks which was very welcome. Guisi was on hand throughout to help us with any questions and provided us quickly with a replacement sun chair for the balcony when one of them broke. Excellent location, close to both beaches, small shops and the cable car. We did have some issues with the shower leaking, which somewhat spoiled our stay, however I believe Guisi had this fixed after we left. Another issue we experienced was with ants in the kitchen, which there seemed to be no resolution for. Not a deal breaker and fairly common for the area but not the best. The apartment has all you need for a stay, with air conditioning throughout, a large balcony and plenty of space to prepare food.

A Perfect Place to Restore

I found this property perfect for me. Proximity to the beach, a terrace looking out at Isola Bella and a bit of distance from the crowds of tourists in the center of Taormina. I took the steps upwards to get to the center of Taormina but there is a cable car as well. I found the walk between Isola Bella and Taormina a good way to offset the delicious Sicilian food I was eating. This apartment was equipped with everything I needed and I was lulled to sleep at night by the sound of the waves. When I had a little glitch with the lock on the front door, the owner arrived in a flash to address the problem. I cannot imagine a better stay for my time there. Grazie Mille.
