Lovely and spacious, very modern. Hosts were very friendly and helpful.

The approach to the property was very steep and also lots of steps.

The apartment was wonderful. Stylish and spacious. A lot of thought has gone into it by the host and it has everything you need there. Beautifully furnished, stunning views from the roof top terrace, comfy beds and pillows, aircon, a very well equipped kitchen and TV’s in every room. Even better than it looks in the photos amazingly. We arrived later than expected due to flight delays but this was not an issue although we did have to pay €40 for arriving outside of the check in time of 15:00-18:00. This felt reasonable when we were arriving past midnight. We were greeted by a lovely young man (Tano) who showed us around etc. and we really appreciated the chilled bottle of Prosecco and water left for us. The terrace is a beautiful space with sofas, 2 sunloungers, a hot tub, bbq and amazing views across Giardini Naxos and of mount Etna a great place to sit with a glass of wine. Just under a 10 minute walk down to the waterfront, bars/ restaurants and bus stops etc. 15 minute bus ride to Taormina (1€90). The host, Angela, was fantastic; extremely helpful, replied quickly and kind.

We loved our stay here and highly recommend. These are not complaints but a few things to note about the apartment is that you have to negotiate a very steep hill and lots of steps to the building and then the three floors to the apartment itself. This was very difficult with the suitcases although Tano kindly helped us when we arrived. There is a photo in the apartment listing of these stairs but we weren’t aware before our arrival. It was ok for us when we didn’t have luggage, but worth mentioning here. Also we were a little disappointed that the hot tub is not hot, it doesn’t heat up as the control panel wasn’t working so unfortunately we couldn’t use it.

L'appartement est vraiment exceptionnel, très beau, spacieux, propre et bien équipé avec tout le nécessaire pour passer d'excellentes vacances. Bonne communication avec les propriétaires qui s'intéressent à leurs clients, leur demandent s'ils sont satisfaits ou s'il leur manque quelque chose.

1. Il n'y a pas de climatiseur dans le salon qui avait été préparé comme chambre à coucher pour 2 personnes, or en période d'été caniculaire (il faisait environ 38 degrés) il est difficile de dormir dedans sans air conditionné. 2. Ce qui nous a dérangé le plus a été le fait que nous n'avions pas été prévenus que l'appartement se trouve dans un bâtiment situé en haut d'une colline, sur une pente très raide et qu'ensuite il faut monter 2 étages car le bâtiment ne dispose pas d'ascenseur. En plus, on n'a pas eu le droit de garer la voiture en bas du bâtiment. C'était une vraie épreuve sportive de monter la pente et les escaliers avec des bagages et des courses. Ceci n'est surtout pas pour des personnes avec des problèmes de santé ou des difficultés de mobilité.

The house itself is beautiful. It is located not too far from the bars. It was comfortable, very modern and is decorated to a high spec. The host was lovely when we met.

The hot tub! We chose this appartment specifically for the hot tub and we were unable to use it. We mentioned this to the owner. They did send a young boy out to fix this and assured us it was working fine, however, the filter pads are that old they will never work properly. The filter was also fitted incorrectly. When we arrived the water was slimey. This would have been sorted with a new filter pad. Also the temperature doesn't go above 28 degrees, which in the summer might be fine but it was too cold for an evening in May/June. It should be described as a plunge pool rather than a hot tub. I'm afraid it really spoilt our holiday. We could have paid a lot less for a cheaper apartment without a hot tub but decided to spend the extra money for this. After viewing other reviews I can see that the owners had already been told about the hot tub but chose not to sort it out.
