Two-Bedroom Apartment on Taormina's Corso Umberto - City Centre Living
Spacious Accommodation
The apartment offers two separate bedrooms, each with king-size beds, allowing families or couples to have private sleeping quarters. Soundproofing keeps the interior quiet even though the apartment sits directly on Corso Umberto, the main pedestrian street. Beds are described as very comfortable with high-quality linen, and the living and dining area is spacious.
Amenities
A fully equipped kitchenette lets guests prepare breakfast and coffee, with a pastry shop (Etna Pasticceria) directly across the entrance for fresh cornetti and cannoli. The apartment includes a washing machine for laundry and an inner courtyard balcony where wet clothes can be hung after the beach. The host provides a welcome bottle of wine and local restaurant recommendations upon arrival.
Location
The apartment is 500 metres from the Taormina Cable Car - Upper Station and a 19-minute walk from Villagonia Beach. Taormina Cathedral is a 5-minute walk away, and Isola Bella is 1.9 km from the property. The central position places guests directly on the main shopping and dining strip, with easy access to everything by foot.
Guest Satisfaction Highlights
Multiple guests have rated the apartment 10 out of 10, praising its cleanliness, updated condition, and excellent communication with the host. The apartment is noted to look better than the photos, with a spacious layout and comfortable furnishings. Guests appreciate the quiet atmosphere despite the busy street location and the convenience of having shops and restaurants nearby.
Practical Notes for Guests
The apartment is on the third floor without a lift, requiring guests to walk up three flights of stairs. Corso Umberto is pedestrian-only, so luggage must be carried from a taxi drop-off point about 5 minutes away. The front bedroom faces the street and may experience noise from late-night bars and early-morning street cleaning, while the back bedroom is noticeably quieter.
Highlights
Location: On Corso Umberto, 5 min walk to Taormina Cathedral
Rooms: Two-bedroom apartment with king-size beds and soundproofing
Nearby: Etna Pasticceria across the street, 500 m to cable car
Rating: Multiple 10/10 guest reviews for cleanliness and location
Heads-up: Third-floor walk-up, no lift, pedestrian-only street
