The accommodation is finished to a very high standard and we found it extremely comfortable. Our room was very spacious and included a small, but functional kitchen. Everything was very clean, and the room was serviced daily. The bed was really comfortable! Great location - a short walk across the road to the beach, and a short walk to the cable car up to Taormina historical centre. Although the property is on a street which is busy during the day, with the windows and doors closed, we didn't hear any traffic noise, and it did not detract at all from our stay. The pool was wonderful, and the fresh, warm croissants and bread rolls that were delivered for breakfast each morning were a delight! I would definitely recommend staying here, and we hope to come again in the future.

A lovely clean and spacious apartment for the last two nights of our holiday. We loved all the extra touches such as wine, fruit and water left for us on arrival and were surprised by a delivery of croissants and bread for breakfast the next morning. We had an apartment on the first floor with a huge balcony but I imagine the rooms on the next two floors would have a much better view of the bay than ours. Very handy for the cable car up into Taormina which meant we didn’t need to use the car for two days. Two little mini marts close by to buy most things we needed for our stay.

The road outside was quite busy and noisy.

Fantastic property right by the beach and funicular. We had a top floor room with an incredible view of the Mazzaro bay and a private jacuzzi. The room and terrace were very spacious and clean. The breakfasts also delicious - fresh croissants and bread left outside every day so we could enjoy our amazing view whenever we woke up. The staff were also very friendly and helpful and housekeeping always thoroughly cleaned our room every day which was much appreciated.

Nothing, it was perfect.

This apartment is stunning. Beautifully appointed with lovely views, large rooms complete with a large balcony and many other fine qualities. Well situated in Mazzaro, a short cable car ride away from Taormina. Complete with a swimming pool and friendly hosts. Good value for money.

The apartment is adjacent to a narrow road that can be busy during the day but it's mostly quiet during the evening and the double glazed doors keep out the noise of road traffic. This minor criticism is made by an Australian who is accustomed to the wide open road so please don't let this comment put you off booking this place. You'd be hard to please if you didn't fall in love with this place as I did.

I loved the balcony with hot tub and the beautiful view of the sea, the inner balcony which gave us a chance for some sun both in the morning and in the late afternoon. I appreciated the fresh croissants and bread on our door each morning, but it would have been nice to know they were going to be provided. We went out and bought some and then came back later to find them there. I appreciated having on-site parking. There were many nice touches, like the cozy bathrobes and slippers, the beach basket with blankets (which we couldn't use due to the weather), the nice balcony furniture and the very comfortable bed.

The signage was terrible so we had a difficult time finding the place. The person checking us in was not very hospitable. We booked this place specifically because of its proximity to the lift to the top of Taormina, which wasn't working while we were there. We ended up walking up and down both days, which was ok, but it limited our dining options.

This was one of the nicest places we have ever stayed in. Across from Mazzaro Beach and three minute walk to the cable car to Taormino. The apartment was scrupulously clean and very nicely decorated. Our unit , #3, was on the first floor which had a nice view but obviously the higher up would’ve been better. Daily housekeeping to 5 star standards was an unexpected joy for a rental apartment. The pool area was quiet and great. Lots of extras provided…from toothbrushes to beach towels and even flip-flops! We were greeted with a complementary bottle of wine and fruit bowl. Every day there was a tray of biscuits, jams, coffee pods and water replenished. Sweet Carmelo left fresh bread and croissants on our door each morning! He was very obliging and always available to help!

We are sad that 6 stars is not an option!

Carmelo was an incredibly gracious host! The apartment was very large and very clean, it was the little touches that made the apartment amazing. A large plate of fruit, a full selection of tea and coffee and small snacks to keep guests fed. A selection of warm pastries fresh from the bakery every morning was such a delight! I loved the Ortigia branded, sicily made toiletries which smelled delicious, the thoughtful beach bags and flip flops in case you forget you own, anything you may need to prepare a simple meal - olive oil, salt and garlic flakes. It was as if the hosts very clearly though of what anyone might need and decided to provide it all. Fantastic trip all round. Please do not worry if your apartment faces the road and gives you a view of the sea - the soundproof sliding doors absolutely block every single bit of noise

Nothing, our stay was perfect. The apartments were worth every penny.

Stunning property. Loft room had exceptional views, nice but small kitchen, and luxurious bathroom with high quality soaps, shampoos, etc. The abundant windows on both sides of the loft added to the beauty. it was difficult to leave! Parking was great to have on-property. It was an easy cable car ride up to Taormina. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend for couples.

Blackout curtains would be nice, as would a guidebook, map, or something similar for local recommendations. Nothing else - everything else was perfect here!!

this is an absolute must of a stay. we stayed in the loft apartment and the room was very spacious and nicely decorated. two balconies so you can alternate when it’s to hot. the main balcony is massive with a hot tub. parking around the town is a nightmare but this apartment offers decent parking! room are also services daily and staff are friendly. fantastic value for money considering where and what you are getting. definitely competes with established 5 star hotels there. Will be staying here again.

N/A

The apartments are in an excellent location, we liked being close to the beach and away from the very busy centre of Taormina but able to reach Taormina very easily by cable car which is just two minutes down the road from the apartments and costs 10euro return. Very spacious and modern apartment with amazing views out to the sea from the huge terrace.

Shower pressure on the rainfall shower was very poor. Mattress could have been better, pretty uncomfortable although that may just be a personal preference.
