Great location close to old town and funicular. We paid for a larger apartment which was spacious and has enough to self cater if you want to. I would not have wanted 4 people in the space though. Property grounds looking a little tired and external lighting poor. Pool was warm and view over sea better than the view of the bus garage next door! ##### Chantal Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Owen 2 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Amazing views.

The first thing was the room was big and spacious, the terrace/ balcony was big, with a hot tub and great views of the sea, and mountains around. It was only around a 5-10 minute walk from Taormina, and 5 mins walk from the cable car which takes you down to the beach. Esther was very friendly and helpful.

Walkable to city sites. Initial impression was awful. We arrived 4:30 pm. Gate was locked, office closed. Whatsapp had malfunctioned so we did not get instructions how to access property after hours. Grumpy old men finally came to gate, yelling at us and refused to open gate. Finally, another not-too-friendly couple yelled at us more but finally found our keys and let us in. Odd that office closes at 4 pm. Instructions finally arrived on Whatsapp the next day. Property itself was fine with nice pool and beautiful view, and office manager next day was friendly. But initial impression of screaming old man was frightening to this 68-year-old traveler ##### Bruce Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 23 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recommend resort This resort has everything you’d want for a relaxing, welcoming, clean apartment stay in Taormina. Only 10 minutes walk to the town center and with stunning panoramic views and the the pool area set within lime trees providing relief from the sun I highly recommend.

We really enjoyed having an entire apartment with a fully equipped kitchen. And an extra plus: The pool is heated so even though the weather wasn’t the best, we could still enjoy some pool time. The residence is approximately 10 minutes from the city of Taormina by foot (uphill, so the walk is a little hard). The owners were extraordinarily friendly and welcoming. We could not have asked for more! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Dalton 11 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication #### Not like the pictures The property was not as the pictures, our room was tired and smelled of cigarettes. The surroundings of the property were not well maintained and had boxes of rubbish. The host was nice and helpful though and it was a decent stay but could do with some love. ##### Dalton Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Pat 15 May 2024 Liked: Communication #### Did not live up to exceptions We found that the apartment did not live up to the excellent photographs and reviews it got on the website. Our apartment was dull and in need of refurbishment. Having said that Ester was great with communications and very helpful with our questions. ##### Pat Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Paul 1 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication There are some great things about this property. The pool is fantastic. It is nicer than it looks in the photos and surrounded by comfortable lounge chairs, a nice wooden deck, fruit trees and an amazing view of the sea. Given how hot it was, we were so happy to have this to come back to after walking around or even from the beach. We stayed in one of the apartments, right next to the pool. The rooms are very spacious, the AC and shower are great, and they are very clean. If they invested in some new furniture and fixtures, it could be really special. As is, they are somewhat dated, random and just not very nice. Esther is great with communication in advance of check in and while there. But be aware she is not there on Sundays and we were not able to get in touch with her at all that day, although it’s possible this is an exception. She really was great otherwise. The worst part is the walk to town. It’s only 10 min, but uphill, in the heat, along the main road. There are bits of sidewalk, but most of it you are just sticking to the side of the road hoping the cars watch out. If the weather was cool, we might not have minded this walk, but by the 2nd day, it had already become somewhat wearing for every meal or activity (there is nothing at all right by or in the hotel). We didn’t like Taormina very much (too touristy and hoity-toity) but had a fairly nice stay here. ##### Paul Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elisabeth 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastiskt boende Fantastiskt boende, utsikten, läget och servicen. Lugnt och fint poolområde. Mycket hjälpsam och trevlig personal som bryr sig om gästerna. Nära till linbanan för att lätt ta sig ner till stranden och Isola Bella. Nära till huvudgatan och torget Piazza IX Aprile. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/77feba4d-4ec4-4665-bbe3-df5714f29cbd-1756039398064.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Elisabeth Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Søren 17 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Godt sted Dejlig stort værelse med køkken, stor terrasse og privat parkering.

Flott basseng omringet av frukttrær. Stille og rolige omgivelser både dag og natt. Rent og pent. ##### Helene Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Edgar 11 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Está bien ubicado a 10 min andando del centro de Taormina. Hay un descampado de autobuses en reparación que fastidian la belleza del lugar. El conserje es un buen hombre, aunque muy dejado, despistado. Enseña el barrigón, fuma, tiene aspecto sucio. El apartamento está bien, había un jacuzzi afuera de la habitación que no pudimos usar. ##### Edgar Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 21 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Kommer gjerne tilbake Hele familien likte seg veldig godt på Medea Residence.

Die große Dachterrasse mit einem fantastischen Ausblick auf den gesamten Küstenstreifen und über das Meer auf Kalabrien lädt zum Verweilen und Frühstücken ein. Die Ausstattung der Zimmer ist äußerst liebevoll und extravagant. Es ist fraglich, ob es zu diesem günstigen Preis in der Nachsaison eine Alternative mit demselben Niveau gibt. Wir haben uns sehr, sehr wohl gefühlt. ##### Andrea Stayed 9 nights in Oct 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Al 33 Giri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cefalu-Hotels-Al-33-Giri.h46222804.Hotel-Information) > > [Acacia Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Acacia-Resort.h2102724.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Hotel Terre di Eolo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Patti-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Hotel-Terre-Di-Eolo.h17928807.Hotel-Information) > > [Baglio la Porta di San Gerardo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Vito-Lo-Capo-Hotels-Baglio-La-Porta-Di-San-Gerardo.h11675581.Hotel-Information) > > [Zash Country Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Riposto-Hotels-Zash-Country-Boutique-Hotel.h7778712.Hotel-Information) > > [Mangia's Torre del Barone Resort and SPA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sciacca-Hotels-Hotel-Club-Torre-Del-Barone.h1619806.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Calette Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cefalu-Hotels-Le-Calette-Garden-Bay.h858621.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Sonia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castelmola-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Sonia.h1498740.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Athena Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agrigento-Hotels-Villa-Athena-Resort.h885714.Hotel-Information) > > [Resort Calampiso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Vito-Lo-Capo-Hotels-Resort-Calampiso.h4916795.Hotel-Information) > > [Costa Verde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cefalu-Hotels-Costa-Verde.h897883.Hotel-Information) > > [Almar Giardino di Costanza Mazara del Vallo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mazara-Del-Vallo-Hotels-Giardino-Di-Costanza-Resort.h1095179.Hotel-Information) > > [The Signature Level at Grand Palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Garden-Beach-Resort-Spa.h42025780.Hotel-Information) > > [Doric Eco Boutique Resort & Spa - Sicily](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agrigento-Hotels-Doric-Boutique-Hotel.h6574636.Hotel-Information) > > [Agriturismo Villa Dafne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alia-Hotels-Agriturismo-Villa-Dafne.h10052990.Hotel-Information) > > [Domina Zagarella Sicily](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Flavia-Hotels-Domina-Zagarella-Sicily.h3464060.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Olimpo Le Terrazze](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Letojanni-Hotels-Hotel-Olimpo-Le-Terrazze.h2032211.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Mora Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Giardini-Naxos-Hotels-Villa-Mora-Hotel.h1144988.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Punta Nord - Est](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castellammare-Del-Golfo-Hotels-Hotel-Punta-Nord-Est.h1576561.Hotel-Information) > > [Sicilia's Residence Hotel Art & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aci-Catena-Hotels-Sicilias-Residence-Hotel-Art-Spa.h5334773.Hotel-Information) > > [VOI Arenella Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Syracuse-Hotels-VOI-Arenella-Resort.h1633512.Hotel-Information) > > [Borgo Pantano](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Syracuse-Hotels-Borgo-Pantano.h3124371.Hotel-Information) > > [Nautilus Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Coast-Hotels-Nautilus-Hotel.h36871038.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Sicilia-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2032217.Hotel-Information) > > [VOI Marsa Siclà Essentia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scicli-Hotels-VOI-Marsa-Sicla-Resort.h3748979.Hotel-Information) > > [Calanica Residence Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cefalu-Hotels-Calanica-Residence-Hotel.h2130274.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Daphne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Giardini-Naxos-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Daphne.h1766367.Hotel-Information) > > [Mangia's Pollina Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pollina-Hotels-Pollina-Resort.h20451228.Hotel-Information)
