This recently renovated apartment has all the amenities you would need and want. It has views to make your day... week... year. I imagine these comments could describe several apartments in Taormina. What sets "Brand new, bright..." apart from other comparable apartments is Marina. Owner/host Marina is the epitome of hospitality and fixer-of-problems that may occur when one travels. She was able to meet us at the apartment on OUR timeline. She provided information about Taormina and on-top-of-the-hill Castelmola. She recommended restaurants and sights to visit. She arranged parking for us and shuttled us from the parking lot back to the apartment. She arranged for a taxi pick up. She graciously stood in the rain to repair the gate lock that we may have broken!! She made us realize what a huge difference a responsive and caring host can make when we are in a foreign country and need a home-away-from-home.

This was an ideal flat for our stay in Taormina. Five minutes from the main sights but calm and quiet, the flat faces the sea and there is a view of Etna from the terrace. The arrangement is open plan, which we liked. There is a serviceable kitchen and a decent bathroom. The delightful Marina greeted us and was extremely fast in responding to any questions. Strongly recommended.

Pretty view from private balcony to see Mt. Etna and Taormina. Marina was a great hostess with helpful suggestions. We especially liked the nearby bakery and the grocery store and tourist bus stop.

We spent a very enjoyable week in Marina's apartment. A comfortable, modern apartment just 10 minutes walk above the main Corso Umberto. Its location above the main part of town gives a lovely view of the sea and Mount Etna. There is a baker and a butcher shop nearby and a small supermarket just 5 minutes walk away for essentials. Buses pass the apartment regularly to take you down into town but we preferred to walk! Lots to see in Taormina and surrounding area.
