Good location. Walkable to city sites. Initial impression was awful. We arrived 4:30 pm. Gate was locked, office closed. Whatsapp had malfunctioned so we did not get instructions how to access property after hours. Grumpy old men finally came to gate, yelling at us and refused to open gate. Finally, another not-too-friendly couple yelled at us more but finally found our keys and let us in. Odd that office closes at 4 pm. Instructions finally arrived on Whatsapp the next day. Property itself was fine with nice pool and beautiful view, and office manager next day was friendly. But initial impression of screaming old man was frightening to this 68-year-old traveler

Warm welcome and early check in were much appreciated. Great location close to old town and funicular. We paid for a larger apartment which was spacious and has enough to self cater if you want to. I would not have wanted 4 people in the space though. Property grounds looking a little tired and external lighting poor. Pool was warm and view over sea better than the view of the bus garage next door!

Thank you for an amazing stay, we visited for our anniversary and were not disappointed! The first thing was the room was big and spacious, the terrace/ balcony was big, with a hot tub and great views of the sea, and mountains around. It was only around a 5-10 minute walk from Taormina, and 5 mins walk from the cable car which takes you down to the beach. Esther was very friendly and helpful. Thanks again!!!

Not like the pictures

The property was not as the pictures, our room was tired and smelled of cigarettes. The surroundings of the property were not well maintained and had boxes of rubbish. The host was nice and helpful though and it was a decent stay but could do with some love.

Did not live up to exceptions

We found that the apartment did not live up to the excellent photographs and reviews it got on the website. Our apartment was dull and in need of refurbishment. Having said that Ester was great with communications and very helpful with our questions.

There are some great things about this property. The pool is fantastic. It is nicer than it looks in the photos and surrounded by comfortable lounge chairs, a nice wooden deck, fruit trees and an amazing view of the sea. Given how hot it was, we were so happy to have this to come back to after walking around or even from the beach. We stayed in one of the apartments, right next to the pool. The rooms are very spacious, the AC and shower are great, and they are very clean. If they invested in some new furniture and fixtures, it could be really special. As is, they are somewhat dated, random and just not very nice. Esther is great with communication in advance of check in and while there. But be aware she is not there on Sundays and we were not able to get in touch with her at all that day, although it’s possible this is an exception. She really was great otherwise. The worst part is the walk to town. It’s only 10 min, but uphill, in the heat, along the main road. There are bits of sidewalk, but most of it you are just sticking to the side of the road hoping the cars watch out. If the weather was cool, we might not have minded this walk, but by the 2nd day, it had already become somewhat wearing for every meal or activity (there is nothing at all right by or in the hotel). We didn’t like Taormina very much (too touristy and hoity-toity) but had a fairly nice stay here.

The location is perfect, within a short walk to the cable cars down to the beaches and within an easy walk of the main town. Very laid back and friendly. A little awkward when first arriving trying to gain entry but apart from that a great stay

Great place!!

We really enjoyed staying here. Was great to have a pool in a small hilltop town. The pool area was spotless with plenty of sun loungers, and shaded areas too. Our room was well equipped with everything you would need for a basic stay, and an extra bonus was a sun lounger and table and chairs on the balcony to enjoy the gorgeous views this place has. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. I would 100% recommend.

A Few Days in Taormina

Our stay in early May at the Medea Residence was fabulous! Due to flight delays we arrived late and had a bit of trouble getting to the residence, but once we finally found it late- after midnight- the host was there to meet us and open the gates. Such spectacular vies in a quiet area at the bottom of the hill in Taormina. The apartment itself was well appointed and charming allowing us privacy and a full kitchen to make breakfast and small meals. The walk up the hill is about ten minutes, but better than staying in the center of the city which requires parking at either end of the city which is not convenient at all with luggage. I would definitely stay here again upon returning to Taormina. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!
