Nothing. Everything was perfect

The apartment is in a very nice neighbourhood, close to Corso Umberto filled with restaurants and shops. A supermarket is also nearby. The apartment is spacious, clean, a lot of natural light, has a beautiful rooftop terrace overlooking the sea with a view of Mount Etna. The balcony is very large. We so enjoyed having our morning coffee in the balcony, and watching the sunset from the rooftop terrace. The hosts, father Salvatore and daughter Marta are absolutely charming . They made us feel right at home. Salvatore took the time to pick us up from the train station which is outside of Taormina, and drove us back to the station the day we checked out. We sincerely appreciate it. We will certainly return to Casa di Marilena at our next visit to Taormina. Thank you Salvatore and Marta.

We knew this when booking so nothing against the host at all but it's about a 15-20 min walk from some things in Taoromina. Just a consideration!

Amazing host! Coordinated pick up from apartment to and from airport. Very accessible and gave great reccomendations. Apartment very clean and exactly as pictured. Great value. The apartment is in a cute residential area with a nice balcony.

Can't think of anything negative, really a great place to stay!

Fantastic location - in a quiet street, still super close to all the sights. There is a private parking spot in the courtyard of the house for smaller cars - a huuuuuge bonus for Taormina. The apartment is equiped with everything you need for a stay. For those who travel off the season - there are batteries inside, so it will be warm if the weather outside is cooler. The host is super friendly and helpful! Speaks English, keeps in touch all the time, always with prompt and helpful answers. She also gave us cool advice on local staff - how to organize sightseeing more effectively, where to eat, what to see. She even gave us tickets for free snacks in the cafe on top of Etna. Although the host does not leave in Taormina, she and her father came for check-in and check-out and even helped us to park the car and then leave the parking spot:) It was also convenient to go to the vulcano and the village of Casteldelmollo, the exit was really close.

An excellent location and exceptional hosts! Marta went out of her way to make us feel welcome. Excellent quiet corner of Taormina walking distance to shop, cafe, restaurants, town and Ancient Greek theatre. If you enjoy a hike can also walk down to Isola Bella and up to Castlemolla. Marta kindly offered collection from local station, provided home grown lemons and the apartment has beautiful panoramic roof top views. Highly recommend.

Marta offered to collect us from the railway station and drove us to the apartment. She then offered to pick us up and take us to where ever we wanted to be to go home. Marta is an excellent host.

The apartment was very nice , super clean and very well equipped, and close to the city center of Taormina. We cooked quite a lot as well and the kitchen at the apartment was very well equipped and easy to navigate. The host Marta was amazing! Super helpful, even offered us to bring us to the accommodation from the train station and back as well. She shared a lot of tips with us, for what to do and see in the area and in the town and always replied super quickly whenever we needed something. We also had an incredible rooftop terrace, which was very nice since we watched the New year's eve fireworks from there and the whole experience was really nice. We definitely recommend staying here :)

The sofa-bed needs repair and is not comfortable for longer stay.

It is a great property. The big balcony is a great place for a morning breakfast or evening relaxation. The host Marta is always ready to help and she communicates in the perfect English. The host help us with the transportation to the train station by their private car. We really appreciate the property owners great attention to the guests needs.

Everything was excellent! I arrived quite late to Taormina by bus and Marta was so nice to meet me at the bus station! Apartments are situated very close to center and local shop. Amazing view from the top terrace! Also I loved the balcony and view on the neighboring gardens, I really enjoyed my every breakfast there! Lovely place to stay!

Wonderful apartment, which was nicely furnished and very well equipped. The shower was great, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The balcony was much bigger than expected with a table and chairs as well as deck chairs and awnings to provide shade when necessary. The highlight for use was the brilliant roof terrace where we would go in the evenings to watch Etna steaming as well as look at Taormina and the sea. It was always peaceful, cool, and with a lovely breeze. Marta was delightful and helpful - her father picking us up from the train station was very much appreciated. Location was superb - just a 5 minute walk down the steps and alleyways to the supermarket and the main street - where we Indulged people watching! Having parking was a real bonus as it is very difficult to park in Taormina. Overall, it was a great place to stay.

Parking available for small car but needs very careful approach.

Great, yet quiet location near the restaurants, shops and sites of Tiamina. Hosts were always available if needed via WhatsApp.

People park their car opposite the garage forcing me to drive the wrong way in a one way street to get out of the underground parking spot.

We liked the beds. Very big bed in the master bedroom. Very nice host.

All very good, nothing to dislike

Martha is a very kind and considerate host who communicates very quick and clear. The apartment was very clean, the balcony was good for breakfast and the roof terrace has amazing views over the Etna and the sea. Free parking was also very convenient. Martha also helped us to find the best restaurants and attractions.

I would recommend this place to anyone staying in Taormina. The location is great, max. 20 minute walk ing distance to all the sites and restaurants. If you are traveling by car, there is a parking place (for a smaller car, like Fiat Panda, which is great. Marta was really welcoming and helpful with any information. We traveled with our 13 month old daughter and Marta prepared a cot for her (free of charge). Also, we were here in february and it was one of the few places in Sicily with radiators, so the place was really nice and warm. If you want to cook, there is everything you need and a well stocked store nearby. Will surely return to this place if we are ever back in beautiful Taormina.
