Our stay in Taormina.

Fabulous location. Good access. Amazing views . Can be a bit noisy at night due to bars below the accommodation. Disappointed that the outdoor terrace was located outwith the apartment on a higher level. Perhaps a bit more information about the apartment eg TV access, appliance information.

Lovely Apartment in a Lovely Place

My family and I had a wonderful stay in Casa San Domenico. It is a beautiful apartment with plenty of room (there were 5 of us) and the sun terrace on the roof was a very welcome feature with magnificent views. We were welcomed warmly by Ann who was very helpful and knew everything about the area. Taormina is stunning and this apartment is in a brilliant location just off the main pedestrianised street that runs through the centre of the town. It's within easy reach of everything - breakfast can be 30 secs away, all the shops are on your doorstep, loads of good restaurants too, the beach is a short walk and a cable-car ride away and there is even a 2-Michelin Star restaurant just 2 mins walk down the hill (The Principe Cerami in the San Domenico Palace Hotel). If you are in to fantastic food (and don't mind paying €150 or so per head) this is an amazing night out. One negative - it would have been nice if the piano was in tune (we did have a couple of players in our group) although the people downstairs might not have agreed ; - ) All in all we loved the apartment and we loved Taormina.

A lovely apartment in a great location

Casa San Domenico was a great place to rent for our 10 day stay in Taormina. It was a very comfortable apartment with great views and just off Corso Umberto. One of the members of our group was a photographer and the terrace was terrific for taking photos. The people we dealt with to help organise our visit were wonderful- thanks Tiziana and Ann.

Great location in Taormina

The property is very comfortable and in the perfect location near the main street. The views from the rooftop terrace are spectacular. Our main issue with the property was that it badly needs maintenance. The main bedroom air conditioner does not cool, the hot water in the ensuite cuts out, and the kitchen cupboards are falling apart. There are two wall ovens in the kitchen: one does not work and the other gets so hot that you can't touch the dials and they are partly brown from the heat. Light switches on the rooftop deck are taped up so it is dark at the entrance and the light in the laundry was not working when we were there. The television was also not working except for the internet accessible channels which are mostly subscription.
