Taormina Beautiful views

Maria Lucia is very welcoming and friendly. She made sure our apartment was ready for our arrival. She helped us with local information. She even surprised us with local grapes and Sicilian peaches. Perfect!

Bad experience but good location.

The location and view from the terrace is great. Unfortunately we had a terrible experience. Passports are required to be shown at arrival, not a problem. Host was out of town. Getting into the unit alone was easy. She text me before hand, gave good instructions but didn’t mention passports. Second day, I get texts from a new number saying it is the host and they need pictures of passports, red flag. Seemed like a scam. Number called me but no voicemail, odd, I had already talked to the host on the phone. Voicemail would have been proof. Two days later, fiancée was about to shower and I was changing. Before I get dressed a man, NOT the host, unlocks the door and steps in. It is a studio, 1 small room, bed 6 feet from entrance. No knock and he did not ask to enter. Asked who he was while I got dressed. He couldn’t communicate with me but said he was there to clean. I was NEVER told prior to the rental of a cleaning service and didn’t need it. I told him to come back after the rental was over. 10 minutes later he came back, said he needed to take pics of our passports. I said no, closed the door. We packed and left immediately even with four days left. He was waiting at the bottom of the stairs when we left. The host didn’t reach out until I text them first about it. They did try to reach out on VRBO on day 2 for the pics. The fact he showed up, did not knock, had his own key, let himself in and also wanted pictures of our passports was beyond unacceptable. We felt unsafe.

Buonasera, sono Maria Lucia, l'host della Casa Vacanza il terrazzo di MarLu', che ha ospitato il signor Devin. All' arrivo dell'ospite mi trovavo al lavoro, sono un medico e presto servizio in ospedale, scome egli stesso dice :"Mi ha mandato un messaggio prima, ha dato buone istruzioni ma non ha menzionato i passaporti. Il secondo giorno, ho ricevuto messaggi da un nuovo numero che diceva di essere l'host e che avevano bisogno di foto dei passaporti, segnale di pericolo." Quindi pur avendo tramite Virbo inviato per messagg la richiesta dei passaportii e telefonicamente ( dal numero ufficiale della struttura ricettiva) detto della necessità che venissero, per legge, forniti i documenti , i cui estremi vanno trasmessi alla polizia entro 24 h, il cliente si e' categoricamente rifiutato dicendo di non dover fornire alcun documento ad alcuno neanche alla polizia Per quanto riguarda il collaboratore, che parla fluentemente inglese, si era avvisato il cliente con messaggio, sempre tramite Virbo, che alle 11:00 avrebbe GRATUITAMENTE (come normalmente accade) provveduto a cambio biancheria e riordino terrazzo e camera , salvo se il cliente avesse avuto altre esigenze o preferito fare diversamente. Non avendo ricevuto alcun diniego il collaboratore alle 11:00 dopo aver ripetutamente suonato alla porta e con me al telefono, non avendo ricevuto risposta ha aperto la porta e si è trovato di fronte il signor Devin , che gli ha detto di andarsene senza voler parlare con me al telefono dicendo che non avrebbe fornito documenti. Virbo è stato immediatamente avvisato dell accaduto e dato l' obbligo di esibire documenti riconoscimento ha assicurato che avrebbe contattato subito l'ospite NON COMPRENDO DI COSA POSSA ESSERSI SENTITO MINACCIATO O COME DETTO IN PERICOLO DATO CHE LA MIA STRUTTURA E REGOLARMENTE REGISTRATA CON CI E CIR è amiotrofica parere dovrebbe sentirsi minacciato in strutture dove non viene richiesto alcun documento Ovviamente oltre Virbo è stata informata anche la polizia ed aggiungo che l'ospite NON HA NEANCHE VERSATO LA TASSA DI SOGGIORNO NON CONSIGLIO A NESSUNO IL SIGNOR DEVIN

Wonderful hostess, wonderful views

Our hostess, Maria Lucia, was friendly and super responsive to any questions we had before the trip. We had an issue with our daughter’s passport and asked to change our dates which she did immediately. She net us at the door and explained everything in the apartment and gave is directions into the center. The centro is less than 5 mins away by walk and the bus to Castelmola stops right in front of the apartment. There is a balcony with a view to the sea and we had a wonderful time late evening with our drinks. I would recommend this apartment for 2 people, it was a bit cramped for the 3 of us - but not too badly. There is a tiny kitchen and fridge as well.

Un oetit paradis perché sur les hauteurs

Un très bon échange suivi d'un parfait accueil par l'amie de la propriétaire. Le logement est à l'étage sans ascenseur mais ca vaut le coup car la terrasse de toit et la vue sont sublime. L'appartement est parfait pour un couple ou une famille avec un enfant. Nous avons adoré le calme et la fraîcheur des hauteurs.
