Emplacement superbe : Villa à Taormina (Isola Bella bay)

Steps or an elevator take you down to the sea, where you can swim between the rocks and caves and snorkel and enjoy looking at the fish. However, jellyfish sometimes prevent you from going into the water. In that case you can enjoy an outside semi-circular pool that is stuck to the rocks high above the sea. The patio is lovely and shaded with a few trees with a breathtaking view, also from the rooms on the upper floor. The apartment and kitchen is well-equipped with a washing machine on the inner-side room, opposite the corridor. The kitchen has all you need, but it would be nice if the host would leave a little of the basic needs, for example salt or dishwasher soap. We left a complete package for the next one to enjoy.

The beds and showers are comfortable and the apartment is basically clean but might need some small maintenance like fixing a dripping A/C on the inner room, stoppers for the wooden shutters that slam in the wind, fixing a few tiles on the patio, fixing fly screens, etc. But this in no way diminished from us having an amazing stay.

What is worth mentioning is that it is great to have your own parking spot. The Isolabella area is so narrow and stuck to the cliffs that you will not find a parking spot outside at all. We walked every morning along the narrow road to have a coffee or take the cable way to Taormina. This is quite a frightening experience: less than 1 meter shoulders, with buses and trucks pushing you to the side of the narrow road! But what the heck! this is Italy and just enjoy it if you are able to survive! Altogether we highly recommend this place!

This villa is a condo in a complex of about 20 or so units. The view from our balcony was just as you see in the photos and by far the most beautiful view in all of Isola Bella. All of the hotels and other locations have obstructed views but here you are literally hanging over the cliff. Straight down in the elevator is the private rock deck swimming area that was just amazing. There are chairs available for sunning and during the week we were pretty much the only ones there. We also used the two of the other public beaches, renting chairs and umbrellas but concluded our swimming area was much better. The complex pool was also just as it appears. It is a no edge pool with that gorgeous view. The actual condo was 3 stories. The living space and kitchen was the ground floor. We had 6 people and the couch could fit us all comfortably. The second floor had two bedrooms and a bathroom. The balconies for these two rooms have that amazing view. The third bedroom was outside and a flight of stairs up. It was just a bedroom and bathroom, not much light but perfect for sleeping. The house also had AC. We were about a 15 minute walk to the center of town where there were restaurants and markets. The tram up to Taormina was 15 minute walk. Taormina was fabulous. Just a beautiful town with shops and restaurants and a lot of night life. The information that Dr. Basile sends out prior was very helpful and very informative. He was so helpful and responsive with any questions I had. I would highly recommend this home.

The house is spacious and very clean, nice 70s decor, the kitchen is quite small but very well equipped, bedrooms are large and the living room has a confortable sofa with flat tv. Spent most of the time in the wonderful garden, it' cool especially in the afternoon so that you can relax reading a booking or having a drink while enjoying a stunning sea view on Isola Bella. The facilities are just perfect and include a panoramic pool and a private beach shared by the complex, but there is plenty of space for evrybody.

Best holiday for years. Villa is situated in an unbelievable position with the most magnificent view over the sea. Swam everyday in the beautiful infinity pool overlooking the cliffs. Villa Suk had everything you could want and was well positioned to have a quiet time during the day at the pool or a short walk to the beach. Also a short walk to the cable car to spend the evening in the hustle and buzz of Taormina.

Everything was perfect. Rosetta and Salvatrice are super top.Francesco provided a good info package about Taormina . The area is paradise. I will return.
