Holiday rentals near San Giorgio Theatre

We stayed in Taormina for three nights and couldn’t have picked a better location. The house is right at the start of Corso Umberto, so you step outside straight into the town’s lively centre. Perfect for exploring on foot.The property is spacious, beautifully renovated, and full of eclectic character. There is a lovely private courtyard with jasmine and lemon trees, ideal for outdoor breakfasts in cooler months. While one bedroom overlooks Corso Umberto, the house does not offer sweeping views, so it is worth managing expectations if that is a priority.The rooms were well appointed and comfortable, with a great balance of old charm and modern touches. Driving in Taormina can be difficult, but our host Luca helped us arrange valet parking which made everything much easier.Luca was fantastic throughout. Responsive, thoughtful, and full of local tips. He helped us arrange a birthday surprise and shared suggestions for the next leg of our trip.We would happily stay again, either here or in one of Luca’s other properties. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well located, characterful stay with warm and attentive hosting.

We were extremely well looked after by Furio and Poula from the second we arrived ( and before ) Taormina is beautiful with incredible food and stunning narrow, often stepped streets. We had very good recommendations for food with varied views and locations. We couldn’t easily see mount Etna from the balcony but had a great view from the hotel across the road for a wonderful breakfast we had. We spent a great day climbing a volcano and quad biking on the foothills of Etna. A fabulous evening as well at the local opera down the road. Not to mention Furio organising chauffeur service for a day in the sun at the beautiful beach with pizza and wine. What’s not to like? Can’t think of a single thing.

We loved our holiday. Our host was really helpful and informative. He helped us to arrange a chef to cook for dinner one evening and also an Italian cookery lesson. The villa was beautiful inside and out. Would recommend!
