Medea Residence Appartamenti Vacanze

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.

Great location on the edge of Taormina with lovely pool and free parking. We stayed for 11 nights with our daughter and made the most of the pool and close proximity to Taormina, which is a (steep but fine) walk away. The cable car to the beach is also close by, as is the motorway for more exploring. We rented the two room apartment with a bedroom, bathroom and large living area with kitchen and sofa beds. We had a washing machine too which came in handy. The terrace out front overlooked the pool and was in between two other apartments. The whole site felt very secure and friendly, the manager Esther was brilliant and went out of her way to make us feel welcome and settled and free parking was a bonus when we rented a car. A great stay, and we loved Taormina!

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.

Amazing views. Great location short walk from taken centre. Well appointed spacious and clean. Could not fault. Highly recommend.

I would 100% recommend this accommodation. It is in a great location less than 10 minutes walk from the centre of Taormina. Our studio apartment was clean and well equipped and water was provided on our arrival. We had a lovely little terrace outside with views of the mountains. As we were arriving at night, the host was in contact beforehand with detailed instructions regarding check in and the location of our apartment. There are beautiful gardens with orange, lemon & grapefruit trees and the pool area is so quiet and relaxing. There is also a lovely seating area nearby with amazing views over the bay. Taormina is a beautiful town but very hilly so be prepared for uphill climbs but there is loads to see and do.

Best house I have stayed at in Taormina thus far. Thank you.

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.
