Lovely stay in a real Sicilian house

Excellent house with a great terrace, beautiful and clean rooms, and a parking spot (a very important feature). Is close to the beautiful beaches and promenade of Giardini Naxos and a short drive uphill to the very picturesque city of Taormina. Maria and her daughter Marta were very friendly, hospitable, accommodating and cheerful. This was a great stay, wish we booked more nights here!

Hosts were generous and kind. Property is clean and tidy. Good A/C. Refrigerator and chickens outside were very noisy. Parking is tight and challenging, especially at night. Property is not near many restaurants within close walking distance.

wonderful terrace, view and central but quiet!

We had a wonderful week at Maria's and her husband's. They and their daughter are very nice and helpful people. The apartment is well equipped and clean. A washing machine ist missing, though and things like a shelf in the bathroom - but one can live without it. It is also child-friendly (we were traveling with our 2 year old) since except for some staircases next to the terrace there are bannisters everywhere and the apartment is big enough. Here we only missed a kids bed. But our kid was very happy and busy with the friendly cats visiting us and there's plenty play-space on the terrace that's well equipped with outdoor furniture and a sunscreen. there's afternoon sun. In the morning you have the sun on the balcony. The very highlight of the place is the astonishing view from the balcony and the rooftop terrace - Taormina, the sea and the Aetna. It's really breathtaking! Since the house is quite far uphill and the roads that lead there are curvy and narrow and oftenly missing a sidewalk, a car is recommended to go to the beach or the city. But I think that's worth it! We would definitely come back.

Es war ein wunderschöner Urlaub und das Appartement hat genau dazu beigetragen. Wir hatten einfach alles was es braucht um sehr gut aufgenommen zu werden. Wir als Familie haben uns sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt und hatten das Glück das wir eine sehr nette und zuvorkommende Vermieterin hatten die uns bei allen Fragen geholfen hat. Wir können diese Unterkunft nur weiter empfehlen und werden mit Sicherheit wieder kommen. Danke für alles.

Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt

Sehr freundliche Gastgeber. Sie wohnen direkt unter der Wohnung und sind immer verfügbar und geben gerne Tipps. Parkplatz direkt vorm Haus, wie üblich aber recht eng. Schöner Ausblick von der Dachterrasse auf den Aetna. Die Lage ist etwas außerhalb. Der Strand kann in ca. 20 Minuten zu Fuß erreicht werden. Insgesamt toller Aufenthalt, gerne wieder!

Posizione comoda per visitare la zona di Taormina

Discreto appartamento, anche se un po’ datato è dotato di tutto il necessario. Posizionato bene per raggiungere le località nelle vicinanze.. Peccato che l’utilizzo dei climatizzatori sia un extra. Per tutto il resto ci siamo trovati benissimo.

sono contenta che vi siete trovati bene per quanto riguarda il supplemento per ii condizionatori purtroppo è per il costo elevato dell energia eletrica specialmente se durante il soggiorno i condizionatori rimangono sempre accesi ma per il prossimo anno provvederemo anche a questo grazie

2 notti (3 giorni a GIARDINI NAXOS)

Struttura molto confortevole, pulita e abbastanza tranquilla se non fosse per i canti di alcuni galli del vicinato già dalle 2,30 di notte fino al mattina.

Grazie per la sua recensione, si ci sono i galli che cantano, ma meglio della confusione di macchine e persone che si sentono in una casa che è situata al centro del paese dove la confusione regna sovrana almeno qui è la natura grazie

Had a wonderful stay

We had a little trouble finding the property, but with a phone call the owner came and showed us the way. The property is just as described, very clean and airy. It has great views from the roof terrace of mount Etna and the surrounding area. Maria is very welcoming although she only speaks Italian we managed to communicate. It is away from the beach and sea fount so a car would be best. The only down side that we found,that there is no air conditioning, but there are fans in all rooms. I would recommend this property as a base to stay and happily go there again .

Dreckiger Aufenthalt

Lage war sehr schön , Ferienhaus war dreckig , man konnte in der Küche nicht kochen , Schubladen , Schränken, sehr verdreckt . 4 Personen Aufenthalt mit 2 Badetücher , Bettwäsche mit Löcher und haben gestunken . Keine tolle Aufenthalt in diesem Haus . Wir waren 2 Nächte dort und in der 1 Nacht nachdem wir auch müde waren haben sich unten in der Terrasse um 3,30 Uhr Nachts 2 Frauen ( Tochter und Nichte ) laut unterhalten , dies ging nachts mehr als 2 Std lang man konnte nicht einmal richtig schlafen .

Enchantée de mon séjour chez Maria !

J'ai passé un séjour formidable dans la villa de Maria. J'ai été reçu avec beaucoup de gentillesse. Maria et son mari ont toujours été très chaleureux et disponibles chaque fois que j'avais une question ou une demande. Ils sont venus me chercher à l'aéroport et m'ont emmené faire des courses avec leur voiture car je n’étais pas motorisée. La villa est très agréable, spacieuse. Et le vrai plus : la grande terrasse où l'on peut déjeuner, ou prendre le soleil sur le canapé. Aussi le balcon de l'autre coté de la maison avec vue sur la mer et Taormina. La wifi aussi est un vrai plus car peu de locations en sont fournis. Comptez un petit quart d'heure à pied pour vous rendre au centre de Giardini Naxos et à la plage. En voiture comptez 5 mn. La villa se situe dans un quartier résidentiel très calme et familial. Je suis enchantée de mon séjour, et j'y retournerai avec plaisir.

Wunderschön

Es war ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt in der Ferienwohnung. Sie ist sehr geräumig und mit einem Balkon der am Nachmittag im Schatten liegt und eine Sicht aufs Meer bietet und einer Terrasse die am Abend auf ein Glas Wein einlädt. Die Besitzer sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit, manchmal gibt es sogar eigene Tomaten. Einfach super. Die Lage der Wohnung ist optimal schön ruhig und doch schnell am Strand oder Zentrum. Das einzige was noch fehlt ist eine Waschmaschine, die jedoch in Planung ist, da das Bad sehr geräumig ist. Ich denke wir werden wiederkommen. Grazie
