Full description: The apartment is located in the quiet part of the historic city center of Taormina and all the restaurants, bars, and nightlife locations can be reached within a short walking distance. Since everything can be reached within a short walk and the bus stop of the city line is nearby, no car is needed from what our guests say. The apartment is spacious, light-flooded, and offers stunning 360-degree views of the coastline of Calabria, the bay of Giardini Naxos, the Taormina historic center, Castemola, and Mt. Etna. With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, it is ideal for families or a group of friends.

The apartment offers a spacious terrace for outside dining and five balconies with unique views.

As described apartment

Apartment was lovely, as described in photos and description. As noted in description, there are a lot of stairs to climb to get the apartment and also in Taormina to get around. Fine for us, but be aware if not very mobile. Apartment was clean and we were very happy staying here. Owner was very responsive to messages, much appreciated.

We had an excellent holiday - the property is central to restaurants shops and the chair lift to the beach. All communication with the property manager has been very good - always prompt with good recommendations. The view from the patio area is stunning. Taormina is relatively hilly though and there are steps to the apartment which you need to be prepared for but for us the views were worth it! Many thanks

Lovely top floor apartment

Four of us stayed here and found the apartment has plenty of room for us. The apartment is a challenging walk uphill to get to and then another challenging walk up several flight stairs but all worth it for the amazing views of the sea on one side and mountains on the other. One large terrace to sit and relax as a group Apartment is a short downhill walk to the main high street and is located in a quiet residential area The apartment has everthing that you need in the kitchen and the owner was great in communicating with me

We wanted to spend some time experiencing Taormina and using it as a base to visit Etna and we were happy to find this apartment not too far from the town centre. It coincided with one of the hottest weeks this year so were glad of the air conditioning

Great stay - worth the workout up the hill

The penthouse suite is the best, so after wandering up the hill from town, the 80 steps (9 flights) is worth it for the aircon and the view. Lovely terrace. Lots of help to settle in.

Great apartment with stunning views

This apartment is modern, spacious and well cared for. The balconies provide beautiful views, although Etna was covered in cloud when we were there. It’s a little out of the main part of town so you can escape the hustle and bustle of Corso Umberto and feel like you are living like a true Sicilian. It does mean an uphill walk on the way back though, but it is more than manageable. Roberto was really helpful at check in, even bringing someone along to help carry the cases up the stairs. It would be great if the elevator could get fixed! We also received really good information before the holiday so were fully prepared. All in all a great base for a stay in beautiful Taormina.

Beautiful views in great location

This apartment is so well located for a short walk down into the beautiful main streets of old Taormina. Almost every room in this flat has a balcony - even one of the bathrooms - with views towards the sea, hills and Etna. We enjoyed a week in Taormina - so many things to do within the town and also within a one hour drive we did not have time to do everything we would have liked to have done. Michael's local written information was very useful as was Roberto who met us outside the apartment block and gave us some interesting tips for where to go during our week including a fantastic trip we took to the summit of Mount Etna with Etna Wild. We would love to return. Our two teenage daughters loved it all too. Sicily is a beautiful and interesting place and staying in Michael's flat gave us a great introduction to this island.

Great location and we loved our stay.

This apartment is very well appointed and we genuinely enjoyed our stay . The kitchen has everything you need but be aware, there is no oven. The location also gave us a bit of a workout up and down the steps to the apartment and to town but we were up for the challenge! The supermarkets are very convenient and there is a little one opposite the apartment and a few on the way to town so we never had a problem with getting what we wanted/needed. Parking was very convenient and connection to the roads and motorways were really easy. The only negative is that the building itself needs a bit of maintenance on the outside but the apartment itself was modern and well looked after. I will stay here again.

Great apartment for a family.

Great apartment, clean and nicely furnished with fabulous views and a great location. The lady who met us couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. You need to be active as there are a lot of stairs but the views are phenomenal and we liked the exercise after all the indulgence of good Italian food.

Lovely apartment with great views

We had a fantastic week in Taormina and this lovely apartment became our home from home. It's near enough to the town that you can walk everywhere, as long as you don't mind some uphill. The rooms are comfortable and the whole flat well equipped with everything we needed. There are a lot of stairs up to the flat so we all came back having had a good leg workout! The views from the balcony across the sea and the town are amazing, and it became part of our morning routine to look out of the window to see what Etna was up to. The owner, Mike, is very friendly and helpful. We would definitely go back to Taormina and to this apartment.

Great space and location

We had a great stay at Mike’s place. The space is very nice, lots of room, very light and great views. It’s right across from a playground which our kid was at daily. Short 5 min walk down to the main strip. The only thing which others have mentioned is it is a penthouse and there’s no elevator so you do have to navigate 5 floors of stairs to the unit. We had no issues with this and it’s what give the great views. Great value and would definitely stay here again.!

Simply Amazing!

Simply amazing experience! We stayed at Micheal’s apartment for almost a week. It was lovely. The apartment was clean and every room on the sea-view side had a balcony, including the bathroom! There was a full kitchen, and everything was in place. We had supper in the large terrace overseeing the sea and evening lights of the town. The tranquility… no one wanted to go back in. The area was also very conveniently located, walking distance of restaurants, shops, and grocery. The communication with Michael and his partner, Roberto was seamless. They were quick and knowledgeable on every question we asked. The promptness was very important to us as it lessen the stress just knowing what to do and where to go. Try this place, we definitely recommend it. Grazie mille e arriverderici Micheal and Roberto 😊 Joe and Julie

The Views!

Spacious penthouse apartment very close to the center of town. The terrace was wonderful place to hang out and the views are fantastic. The place was well-equipped, beautiful and spacious. The five-story walk up didn't bother us -- the views and privacy were worth it. It was hard to locate the exact building, even for local taxi drivers, gps couldn't pinpoint the building. Check-in was a little difficult. The trash situation was very hard to figure out -- instructions and containers needed.
