This historical property has undergone a total renovation.
You access the property through a private terrace garden to enter the villa, which opens up to a large, completely renovated 3 bedroom/ 2 bath villa designed in Sicilian style yet containing almost all the comforts expected in a modern residence.
The property includes a new full kitchen with appliances and expansive windows, bringing in natural light and the garden view.
The kitchen includes all new appliances, a large-capacity washer and dryer, and tall bar chairs with views out onto the garden area.
The salon includes a large refinished antique dining table, a finely detailed couch, and chairs. All of the furniture is of Italian design.
The master and guest bedrooms each include split air conditioners/ heaters to maintain your room's comfort. The beds are large and supportive and include a generous closet for your belongings.
A beautiful peaceful oasis right off the main tourist drag. The space felt both modern and historical, with local art and a wonderfully equipped kitchen. The beds were a dream. We loved the private courtyard and also the big master bedroom with huge windows to throw open for the view of the bustle below. It's an easy stroll from the multi-level car park down the road, with only one short stretch of stairs. We felt like we were staying in a friend's home. Bring earplugs as there is some inevitable night noise from the Corso Umberto.
We stayed in Taormina for three nights and couldnât have picked a better location. The house is right at the start of Corso Umberto, so you step outside straight into the townâs lively centre. Perfect for exploring on foot.The property is spacious, beautifully renovated, and full of eclectic character. There is a lovely private courtyard with jasmine and lemon trees, ideal for outdoor breakfasts in cooler months. While one bedroom overlooks Corso Umberto, the house does not offer sweeping views, so it is worth managing expectations if that is a priority.The rooms were well appointed and comfortable, with a great balance of old charm and modern touches. Driving in Taormina can be difficult, but our host Luca helped us arrange valet parking which made everything much easier.Luca was fantastic throughout. Responsive, thoughtful, and full of local tips. He helped us arrange a birthday surprise and shared suggestions for the next leg of our trip.We would happily stay again, either here or in one of Lucaâs other properties. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well located, characterful stay with warm and attentive hosting.
This is a newly completed apartment a few steps up from the main thoroughfare of Corso Umberto, yet when inside, we had total quiet. We had a bit of trouble learning how to use the amenities but the host was patient and totally helpful and responsive by text in spite of the fact he had just come down with flu. The location couldn't be better. I have knee problems, so appreciated the few steps needed to get down to the Corso for sightseeing, shopping and dining. All of which were within a comfortable stroll from the apartment. We were there in December, but the private garden would be really nice in warmer weather. The beds are comfortable, The bathrooms are modern and well thought out for travelers needs. The Kitchen and lounge area are well equipped and we loved sitting in the lounge at the end of the day planning the next day. The washer and drier were welcome after a week of touring before arriving.
