My wife and I stayed a week in this fantastic house the end of june. The house was so nice and clean, the view was breathtaking, and Gianfranco was a fantastic host! Very helpful and giving a lot of informations about the area, and where to go for eating, purchasing groceries etc. Also good exercising when using the stairs, bringing you to city center in a few minutes. In addition to the nice private garden and terrace, there is a very big and wonderful roof terrace with an even more fantastic view! A very nice stay, and we will love to come back to this place!

Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bob C. 17 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous views over Taormina and Etna Gianfranco's property is situated high above the busy parts of Taormina, and has a lovely garden area with a shady patio. We had a very happy time there, which was partly to renew our acquaintance with Taormina after 17 years, but also to attend the Simple Minds concert in the Teatro Antico - amazing!! Gianfranco is the perfect host, most friendly and helpful and we fully recommend the apartment. There are steps down to Corso Umberto right next to the property, but be aware they are quite steep in places, and there are 250 of them - we counted ! This may not suit everybody, hence the 4 stars for Location. Otherwise - a comfortable bed, good rain head shower and adequately equipped kitchen - all we needed for our week. Thanks again, Gianfranco. ##### Bob C.

Malheureusement quelques petits détails nous ont gênés et pour le standing de cet appartement, cela aurait pu être évité comme un tuyau de douche percé. Mais GianFranco a été très réactif et a proposé des solutions pour régler rapidement tout ça. A cette saison nous avons pu récolter quelques délicieuses oranges, très juteuses, pour les presser chaque matin.

The property is comfortable, clean, well equipped and stylish-we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. ##### Phil M. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stuart K. 25 Oct 2018 #### A simply delightful apartment with a wonderful panoramic view Breakfast on the terrace under orange and lime trees with sweeping views across to Mount Etna. Drinks in the evening watching the sunset and the lights coming on down in the town. The location of this apartment is stunning. With its own private garden and tree-lined terrace, it is very quiet and tranquil. Inside, it is simply furnished, comfortable and has everything you could wish for. Set half way up the hillside, it is about a five minute walk down to the town centre, though it is steep with lots of steps which will certainly keep you fit, especially on the way back up. You can also walk up to the amazing hilltop town of Castelmola in about 30 minutes. All in all, a most perfect apartment in a really beautiful town. Plus, very friendly and helpful owners. Highly recommended. ##### Stuart K. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard C. 6 Oct 2018 #### Perfect hideaway for two It was our good fortune to stay at this delightful apartment for two with stunning views over Taormina, Giardini Naxos and Mount Etna. We were met by the smiling owner Gianfranco who showed us around. There is a private terrace with a small lawn bounded by pot plants and exotic shrubs - perfect for chilling after a hectic bit of sightseeing. Inside is all you need for a relaxing get away from it all stay - the air conditioned sleeping area is on a mezzanine floor over the kitchen, bathroom and sitting room area which has a ceiling fan for air movement. Previous guests have mentioned the steps down to Corso Umberto and the Greek Theatre and for some this could be an issue. They are quite steep and once was enough for us reasonably fit 68 and 70 year olds. We had a car - again it was so useful to have a secure parking spot at the apartment - and we simply drove down to the multi story carpark at either end of the town and for 7 Euros parked there when we were out for dinner. Gianfranco was a welcoming and friendly host and was always available to contact with any problems -not that we had any. I thoroughly recommend this lovely apartment for a relaxing taste of Taormina. ##### Richard C. Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne, Bermuda 19 Sept 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Beautiful apartment overlooking Taormin, fabulous views from the private garden and the roof terrace. Spacious and we'll equipped for preparing food. Gianfranco is excellent, good communication, helpful, responsive, good local recommendations. Private gardeb behind locked gates, very safe, good parking. Steps down to Taormina take about 5 minutes, 300 steps up or a 10€ taxi ride. We always took the stairs back after dinner, good exercise after dinner, pace yourself. Recommend a cannoli at the bottom (la Pignolata Guinnes) to fuel you up the stairs. Highly recommend to stay here - great value and great views. ##### Anne Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colin L. 18 Sept 2018 #### A stunning setting and a very comfortable stay. My first impression was stunning as soon as we past through the gates. We have been to Taormina before so new the area pretty well, but this was going to be a very nice place to stay. Gianfranco meat us at the apartment to welcome us, he is a very nice person and his English is brillant. He showed us around the apartment and upstairs on the roof where the views are stunning. The apartment is very clean and very tidy , I do love the personal effects that are left in the apartment makes it more homely to me. You have just got to have breakfast outside, after a few drinks at night there is nothing better drinking a cuppa looking over the hills and bays below you, then pan left slightly and there it’s is Etna in all its glory. The town is about a 10 min walk down hill or steps , it’s a hard slog back up though. The ceiling fan is a god send and is not noisy , we kept it on over night and it was fine. The only thing we found which was a pain and nothing to do with the apartment was the mosquitos so go prepared with bite cream and repellent you will need it. To sum up. A stunning view from a very nice a quite apartment, clean and tidy and very comfortable. ##### Colin L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve F. 16 Sept 2018 #### Taormina is Tops The apartment is set up high on mountain behind Taormina, itself set high on the mountain. This apartment must have the only private patch of lush green grass in Taormina. It is lovely to feel it on bare feed after a hot day walking around Taormina and many stairs. This apartment also has excellent view of Mount Etna. The apartment itself is spacious and the lounge area is well lit and relaxing. Gianfranco is a lovely host and picked us up from the Giarre-Naxos train station. Because of this he was able to give us a bit of an orientation tour of Taormina which was helpful. ##### Steve F.

Lots of steps down to town but kept us fit. Beautiful views from the property and some lovely outdoor space. ##### Gill S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tobias B. 5 Jul 2018 #### Super Ausblick, zentrale Lage dank der naheliegenden Treppen Der Ausblick ist atemberaubend. Mit dem kleinen Garten ist es sehr schön. Direkt am Haus geht eine Treppe Richtung Innenstadt/ Fußgängerzone, ca. 5 Minuten Gehzeit runter. Einfahrt ist in der Kurve etwas versteckt, wenn man von unten kommt. Gianfranco war sehr nett, Kommunikation mit super Reaktionszeiten über Whatsapp. Die untere Wohnung selbst würden wir dann nicht empfehlen, wenn man sich viel drinnen aufhalten will, ist nämlich etwas dunkel! Ansonsten super schön, gute Küchenausstattung mit Spülmaschine, super praktisch. Ein Bäcker mit tollem Brot ist auch in der Nähe 300 m entfernt. Der Wochenmarkt ist auch direkt um die Ecke. Der tägliche Markt ist ca. 15 Minutenentfernt. Villa Zuccaro als unsere Lieblingspizzeria ist knapp 10 Minuten entfernt. Sehr zu empfehlen auch die Pasticceri D'Amore, insbesondere die Eis-Cannoli sind der Hit! Supermarkt auch ca. 5 Minuten entfernt in der Nähe Porta Catania (das recht StadtTor). Der tägliche Wochenmarkt hat super Qualität und ist hinter dem Pora Messina (das linke Stadttor) über eine sehr kleine Gasse auf der linken Gehwegseite (vom Porta aus kommend) hinter einem kleinen Supermarkt zu erreichen. Sehr zu empfehlen, ist alles spottgünstig. Bester Strand in der Nähe war San Marco. Alles in allem: TOP. ##### Tobias B. Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kerstin G. 11 Feb 2018 #### Beautiful apartment and a great landlord We had a wonderful time at Gianfranco's apartment in Taormina. The flat is very cosy and nicely decorated. We enjoyed picking fresh oranges in the garden every morning, and Gianfranco told us that we can eat as much as we wanted. He was a very friendly and helpful landlord, always available, gave advice and he also came to bring us stuff we needed and drove us to the bus station at the end of our stay. The view from the garden was also amazing! A highly recommended place to stay in Taormina! ##### Kerstin G.
