“Terrace 12/10. Living and comfort 11/10. Sleeping situation 8/10. Will absolutely come here again.”

The host couple exemplifies why this place is great - they accommodated us when our plans changed for check-in, they gave us lots of advice and were always available even for questions besides the apartment, for example about driving regulations in Taormina. And the apartment could have been their own home, i mean it has everything - a toaster, a dishwasher, salt, pepper, sugar, plenty of cutlery, large pots and pans for all sorts of cooking, even plastic containers. It all just makes you feel so welcome! Our favorite part was of course the terrace and again - it has 2 different grills, a comfy sofa and chairs for relaxation AND a dining table and wooden chairs for meals, plus 2 sun-chairs all with a view of the mountains and if you stand in the right spot also the sea. It has a roof over the furniture, but also a large space under the sun if you want to sunbathe, as well as curtains for more privacy. The apartment provides behind-a-gate parking, free parking on the side of the little street and the hosts even offered us a garage (as well as 2 bikes-wow). The neighborhood was quiet and the walk to the beach was 2 minutes. When it comes to restaurants, you have about 30 options within a 15 minute walking distance, including the sea-side places with a view of Taormina. There are regular-priced shops nearby, but you can also visit really cheap supermarkets a little further off. We really regretted trying to go to Taormina by car, so we recommend the bus station that is 6 minutes away, you can buy a ticket (1,90) from an officer and be under the Greek Theater after 20 minutes. They go every 30 min until like 23:00.

Santy is a welcoming and caring host and she impressed us because she bought a special baby bed and a baby set knowing that we were coming with our little girl. The house is beautiful, clean and equipped with absolutely everything you need and I think it is ideal for a family on vacation. We also used the grill on the terrace and prepared a delicious Italian-style dinner.
