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!

Amazing view
The apartment was in a great location, very close to the beach and beautiful views from the terrace. The apartment was very clean and suited our family of five perfectly. Giusi was lovely! She supplied us with drinks and beautiful snacks. I would definitely recommend staying here!

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.

What a view!
A lovely apartment. Everything you need to enjoy your stay. We arrived hot & bothered after a rather stressful time trying to find a parking space but it was the weekend & busy season. Guisi was very welcoming & gave us all the info we needed to enjoy our stay. The view from the large balcony is stunning! Would love to return.

Stunning view, perfect location
We loved our stay here! The view from the large balcony is gorgeous (perfect for a glass of local wine in the evening or coffee in the morning watching the sun rise). It would be hard to find a better view. The apartment has everything you need to feel at home, cook your own food, make coffee etc. The location is also great. A very short walk to Isola Bella and the public beach, restaurants, and the tram station for an easy ride to Taormima or to rent a car for the day. Giusi was a wonderful host. She was accommodating, easy to communicate with, and left us delicious fresh fruit and breakfast treats. We would love to stay here again when we come back to Sicily.

Wonderful experience
We loved everything about the apartment and our interaction with Guisi. It had all the amenities we needed, as well as the view! The view was amazing. The location was very convenient with a few bodegas across the street and the beaches steps from our doors. The screens, bedroom air conditioners, and washing machine were all put to good use. We want to come back to Taormina and stay at the apartment again!

Gut ausgestattetes empfehlenswertes Apartment mit wunderbarer Aussicht
Das Apartment von Giusi liegt an der stark befahrenen Durchgangsstraße von Mazzaro, ist aber selbst sehr ruhig mit Blick auf das Meer und die Berge. Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet, mit einer schönen Terrasse nach Osten, Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten gibt es in Mazzaro. Die Seilbahn nach Taormina ist nur 100 m entfernt. Zwei schöne Badebuchten sind in 10 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Die Wohnung verfügt über keinen eigenen Parkplatz - man muß also ggf. die Kosten für Parkplatzmiete auf dem öffentlichen Parkplatz einkalkulieren (ca. 15 €/pro Nacht Stand 2017). Für uns war es ein sehr schöner Urlaub bei einer sehr netten Vermieterin in Mazzaro. Wir können die Wohnung weiterempfehlen und würden hier jederzeit wieder Urlaub machen und geben verdiente 5 Sterne!
