Villa Da Vinci Luxury Panoramic Apartments - Taormina rooms collection

Carlotta was wonderful

The host, Carlotta, was absolutely incredible. She was so helpful, kind and responsive. The apartment itself was very nice with an exceptional view of the sea, which made for the most beautiful sunrise. Worth getting out of bed for! Very nice kitchen and bathroom. It is closet to Castelmola than Taormina, which to me is a bonus as I find Castelmole much cuter. The pool had the most stunning view over to Mt Etna! Parking on site was super easy, just under the building :-)

The pool as is much smaller than it appears in the photos. When we arrived at the pool with my 8 year old son, a group of women were stood in the water drinking wine so it was completely full already with lots of glasses around. Their body langage made it clear they were there to drink not budge up a bit us so we never got the chance to use it as were only there for that day. It was a shame as we chose the apartment only because it had a pool. The apartment is a very steep walk back up, on many steps, from Taormina. If you want breakfast, make sure to buy it the day before as there is not much around in the way of cafes in October, probably more places open in peak summer.

The property was spacious, clean, well equipped, peaceful & had the most stunning views. We enjoyed the walk into town (even although there are a lot of steps). Carlotta (the manager) was charming, so helpful, kind & gave us some wonderful recommendations of things to do, where to eat in the area. She really is a gem.

Nothing!

We had a wonderful family stay at Villa Da Vinci. The apartment is spacious and comfortable, with absolutely stunning panoramic views. The outdoor area and lawn were perfect for our children to play, and we really enjoyed having the swimming pool right by the property. Carlotta was an excellent host — very responsive, helpful and genuinely caring throughout our stay. Any small issue was resolved immediately, from replacing the kettle to helping us with the washing machine. Angela was also lovely and very helpful, including speaking Russian. We followed many of Carlotta’s restaurant and local recommendations and they were excellent. A beautiful and very special place to stay in Taormina!

The only small suggestion would be to heat the swimming pool, especially later in the season. The pool and views are wonderful, and warmer water would make it even more enjoyable for families with children.
