Sweet Taormina Apartment

La terrasse immense avec la vue sur la mer et la situation géographique parfaite.

À notre arrivée, il n’a pas été possible d’avoir des draps pour le 3e lit du logement. Il aurait fallu le demander d’avance… Étrange de ne pas avoir de draps pour le nombre de lit disponible…

Location and quiet

One of the ac was reak

Ease of communicating with the host

The gate at the street didn't lock

The beds were comfortable and it was quiet during the night. The shower power was good. The terrace adequate.

A lot! My information explained that we would be met at the property, we weren’t. I contacted the host via the telephone and he stated that he would WhatsApp me the key pad code. I had to phone back twice more as I hadn’t received the message and on the third attempt he put the phone down on me! The message came through and we obtained the key but it was very difficult to gain entry. We were told that two of the air conditioners needed a new remote so had to be turned on manually. That being said the one in the sitting/kitchen area didn’t work at all and the one in the second bedroom we were able to turn on. ONLY because my husband had to stand on a chair (Health & Safety Issue, H&S) with a spatula to turn it on as it was so high up! There were NO instructions of how to use some of the equipment.Written instructions would’ve been useful. In fact I turned the gas hob on to find it wouldn’t light. Again I contacted the host to be told that the gas cylinder on terrace needed to be turned on. I was not happy at all to do this as I felt that again, this could’ve been a H&S issue. As a result my friend did turn it on. Then only two of the gas hobs worked. There was a loud buzzing noise in the wall when the air conditioner was being used The seating areas were in the apartment was not conducive to being sociable with everyone. The bannister came off in my friend’s hand and she nearly fell down the stairs. There was an awful ‘onion’ smell in the en-suite to left of the corridor. We could not shut the window as it as too high. No luggage racks, had to put case in the entrance hall. We were surprised that there was no kettle (hence having to use the gas hob) or any kitchen towels/tea towels etc. The only other time I heard off the host was to ask me to leave the tourist tax on the table. To conclude, the apartment lacked any character. It was tired and jaded, it was bare, lacked comfort and basic. We would not recommend this apartment
