Perfect base

The apartment is perfectly situated within a 30 second walk from the Porta Messina stone archway marking the start of the bustling picturesque walk through the main trading street of Taormina. We were able to walk from the apartment down to the beach front opposite Isola Bella, to the Greek Amphitheater, and all the way up to Castelmola (take some water). It’s a very convenient location. The apartment itself is lovely, and feels spacious and airy with great views from the large patio area. Vincenzo is a lovely guy and greeted us at the apartment to give us the keys and a tour of the facilities, he also arranged our transfer from the airport to the apartment so no hassle at all. Thank you Vincenzo for you hospitality and our lovely base in Taormina.

Spacious and modern apartment with private balcony

Apartment 4 in "I due griffoni" is located on second floor with a private balcony. The view from the dining room/kitchen is marvelous overlooking the Messina strait and view of the sunrise. The interior is spotless and convenient. You do not find anyting like this elsewhere in Taormina. The other four apartments looks just as nice and we believe they each have their advantage depending the time of the year when you visit. Do not forget, there is a large roof terrace with sunbeds, sitting areas and sunshades. The hosts, Serena and Vincent Sparta are, like many other Sicilians, extremely kind so you feel at home immediately. We stayed 16 days for a course in Italian and will be glad to come back another time.

Thought the apartment was amazing and in a great location. Vincenzo the owner was such a lovely man.

As i said property was amazing and in great location. Owner Vincenzo was such a lovely man and always available to answer any queries etc. Taormina is such a lovely place and people were all really friendly. We did the Godfather tour which we thought was fab. We did drive to Corleone, Palermo and Messina but there was not much to see or do in any of these places. Palermo as a capital city was just so dirty. But all the area around Taormina and Catania was beautiful. We will defo be back as we didn't do Mount Etna

Beautiful and Modern Apartment in Central Taormina

Fantastic hospitality provided by apartment hosts Vincenzo and Serena. Made us feel very welcome when we arrived and throughout the whole holiday duration. 5 minutes walk to the entrance of Corso Umberto - Porta Messina. Located near a lovely supermarket (Etna 2) and next door to a pizza place. Short walk 10 minutes to old Greek Theatre. Would recommend a trip to Isola Bella, taking a boat trip visiting Grottos. Lovely ice cream parlour at end of Corso Umberto near Porta Catania - Cioccolato e Gelato. We loved our stay, apartment and wonderful hospitality. We recommend this apartment and will visit again. Thank you Vincenzo and Serena for everything. Tanti saluti. Gianni and Rosa

Loved Taormina

We struggled to find an apartment to book in central Taormina but so pleased we found this one. The owner was attentive and helpful. The apartment was well equipped and absolutely spotless. The only slight criticism is that the property is on a fairly busy road into Taormina so the balcony at the front of the property can be quite noisy however the apartment is very central and everything you could want is within a few minutes walk. Highly recommend arancini from the bakery a few doors down from the apartments.
