Very modern apartment. Clean and spacious Excellent location Staff wrre friendly and very accommodating Helped with directions and bookings
There was nothing we could have wanted
The apartments are the best I have seen in Italy, brand new and modern. The location is great and they offer valet services for your car which is helpful.
Camera este curata si suficient de mare in comparație cu cazările din Taormina.
Terasă este mare si frumoasă, dar ca si recomandare ar trebui sa puneți niste ghivece mari cu ceva verdeață pentru a nu se vedea rufele vecinei din fiecare zi. Clădirea din fața strica frumusețea priveliștea către mare sau Etna. Pozele de pe net sunt făcute in asa fel încât sa nu iasă acea clădire din fața terasei.
Accoglienza e assistenza impeccabili. Gentilezza e cortesia. Appartamento pulitissimo,dotato di ogni comfort e molto curato anche nei dettagli. Posizione ottima. Complimenti vivissimi a Sara.
Very clean and comfortable
Ubicato in un posto strategico di Taormina, lontano dal caos turistico, ma vicinissimo al centro, il quale era raggiungibile attraverso una piccola scalinata
Tutto ok
Sono stata diverse volte a Taormina , uno tra i più belli in cui ho soggiornato . Non mancava veramente nulla, super pulita, accogliente.
Location was great. Short walk from the side walkway to the main corso
Old type TV with no smart function there not able to connect to the Internet or the phone
A lovely apartment in a great location for Taormina. Everything we needed and great staff.
Ubicación excelente , los baños y las habitaciones cómodas y bien de tamaño, y con aire acondicionado, fundamental
We were so happy with the location of this property tucked up a few streets behind the main pedestrian street, but easy to get to the carpark and the local supermarket. It was quiet and had an amazing view of the ocean from the balcony. The team on reception were so lovely and very helpful. The apartment was larger than we'd expected and very well designed with modern features with a nod to traditional style. It was fantastic so we highly recommend it.
Nothing to complain about at all!
Marcelo was amazing! The best guide and information provided and went out of his way to ensure we felt comfortable. The location is very central to amenities and the old town.
Excellent location, beautiful apartment and large terrace with an amazing view of Mt Etna
Nothing! It was excellent
Right next door to a hotel with breakfast and a rooftop restaurant. Just up the street from the main town so quiet
Very central, excellent location, staff were brilliant and very helpful
From the pictures we expected to have a balcony view for the price we paid
Tout était parfait, le valet pour le stationnent impeccable. L'appartement était magnifique et très confortable.
la seule chose que je préciserais la prochaine fois c'est que nous voulions la terrasse tel que sur les photos de booking.
This is an elegant, lovely accommodation, well located, with convenient restaurant next door. The beds were comfortable and the AC worked well. We enjoyed the delicious gifted Planeta wine!
There is some street noise later in evening.
I love everything about it! We have stayed in the purple room and it was beyond our expectation. Clean, bright, comfortable, a lot of space to hang out and put your stuff. It was one of the best experiences i had for long while.
Very luxurious
Would have loved a laundry service!
We paid extra to upgrade to the balcony suite and it was money well spent! Relaxing out there with views of Etna and the sea were one of the highlights of our entire trip. The room itself was spacious and well stocked. The property was centrally located for exploring the city and the front desk staff were helpful and accommodating.
Потрясающий вид с террасы и и из каждого окна! Замечательный и очень внимательный персонал!
Location was amazing, the decor wonderful. Excellent service with daily cleaning/tidying of the room.
Schöne Ausstattung. Gute Lage. Viel Platz. Gut ausgestattet Küche.
Den positiven Eindruck haben €40 Zusatzgebühr für das Sofabett getrübt. Die zusätzliche Gebühr steht nicht in der Leistungsübersicht und auch im Reservierungsprozess (wie bei anderen Unterkünften üblich, sofern Zusatzkosten entstehen) wird nicht darauf hingewiesen. Auf Information unsererseits, dass das Sofabett benötigt wird, wurden auf die Zusatzgebühren hingewiesen. Dies soll in den Hausregeln ersichtlich sein (vermutlich irgendwo im Kleingedruckten).
The apartment was beautiful with fantastic views. It is well located, just a short walk to the main shops and restaurants. Marcello was a helpful and friendly host. We only wished we could have stayed longer!
Not an issue as we knew what we were booking, but due to the way Taormina is, the great location near shops and restaurants means it’s not close to the train station so transport was required to get to and from the property - just something people need to prepare for.
Location perfect, modern decoration, great showers, comfortable rooms and lounge area very spacious. Staff super friendly and helpful. We would definitely book here again.
Booked the room for a short stay, we liked definitely and deserves more time tp stay. Marcello is great person, ready to help. Our room is big, nicely equipped. Strongly recommend the vale service if you have a car. Just a few steps to center.
Was too short
We had a great stay. The staff were extremely accommodating as we arrived to Taromina earlier than the specified check in time. We were able to check in early which was great after a long day of travel. Marcello was lovely and very helpful! Very responsive via WhatsApp to coordinate our check in We loved our stay and would go back again if we take another trip to Taromina.
Piękny taras z cudnym widokiem, miła obsługa, duży i przestronny pokój ładnie urządzony. Możliwość pozostawienia bagażu po wymeldowaniu.
i colori dell'arredamento e delle finiture davano un senso di calore
Great service, liked the extra car service and beach services they connected us with. Very stylish apartments with top of the line appliances and fixtures. Very clean and well stocked. Easy location to get to by car and by walking to town. The patio was lovely.
No separation of trash.
Bella struttura in centro a Taormina
Beautiful apartment right outside of Porto Catania within 5 minutes walking distance to the main shopping street/ tourist attractions. We stayed in the Palm Suite. Both bedrooms & bathrooms are of a good size & super comfortable. Marcello the concierge was an amazing resource & helped us arrange our transportations. Daily housekeeping was a plus.
Nothing
We loved the beautiful styling , comfy beds , clean fluffy large white towels and very modern apartment. We stayed in a ground floor apartment which was great for baggage . Having two bedrooms and 2 bathrooms made it a lovely home in Taormina
Nothing, truly nothing. My mother who is 85 would say too many steps to Corso Umberto but we were literally at the gate in 2 minutes.
Really comfortable bed, great bathroom, good location and helpful staff. Kitchen was well equipped, property was right next to steps to main street.

Die Anreise mut dem Auto ist schwierig. Die Lage sonst sehr gut!

The apartment was beautiful, first class fittings and furnishings. Great location, short walk to restaurants, shops, Corso Umberto, parking, churches, parks…. Marcello and Sarah were great hosts, responsive and hospitable. Highly recommend La Malandrina!
דירה נעימה מאוד ומעוצבת בעיר המקסימה טראומינה. הדירה מצויידת היטב, מרפסת קטנה עם נוף חלקי אך יפה. מיקום נוח אם כי מתאים רק למי שאין לו בעיה עם שימוש ניכר במדרגות. הקבלה למלון היתה קלה ומהירה והשתמשנו בשירות חניה לרכב שהיה פתרון מעולה.
צריך לשפר את מבחר הכריות
The location, the view and the comfort of the apartment were unbeatable!

Everything about our stay in the Panoramic Suite was wonderful. The apartment was spacious, spotlessly clean, and beautifully appointed. The views were incredible, with Mt. Etna right there. It had a huge terrace and comfortable patio furniture. The location was perfect, with a laundromat just a few doors down the street and a good grocery store within a five minute walk. We were a five minute walk to the Corso, everything was close by. We didn’t need the car the whole time we were here. If I ever return to this charming town, I will rebook the same unit. Sara was extremely accommodating, attentive, and courteous. Thank you for a fantastic stay!
There was nothing we didn’t like.
Lovely outside area. Well equipped kitchen with dishwasher/tabs, microwave, hob and fridge/freezer. Stylish interiors and bathrooms. Loved the touches I.e. slippers and bathrobes and cleaning every day. The shutters meant the bedrooms were very dark and the mattress was very comfortable.
The sofa (bed) should be bigger or another sofa chair added as well to the lounge as 4 people. Also a few more drinking glasses would be useful.
Perfekte Lage um Taormina zu entdecken.
La ubicación en el centro, el apartamento muy bonito y completo de 10, la atención de Sara de 15. En este pueblo es muy difícil de aparcar pero hay PK público muy cerquita. Recomendable al 100%
Todo perfecto.
Wunderschöner Ausblick, tolle Lage, sehr guter Service, sehr geschmackvoll ausgestattet.. einfach top
Die Lage. Die freundliche Betreuung durch Personal.
Wir konnten gegen geringen Aufpreis vor Ort upgraden in Appartement mit dachterasse.
Struttura molto bella, rinnovata e molto curata nei particolari. Le terrazze godono di una vista meravigliosa. Posizione buona, vicina al centro e al parcheggio di porta Catania.
The accomodation was central, 2 minutes walk to the main strip, clean, as pictured, comfortable and attractive. The host was responsive and helpful leading up to and throughout our stay. Would definitely rebook :)
We arrived at the property outside checking hours (1:30am) however the code given and app did not work for the first 15 minutes and due to the time we were unable to get any assistance. After that time, the app worked and we could access the accomodation. The following day the code would still not work and we were given a key. It is my recommendation to set up the app beforehand (we did but had we not it may have been even longer to get into the accomodation) also the property is the one pictured in the left of the self check in guide.
Apartment felt brand new and high end, including good lighting, fully equipped kitchen (no oven) and motorized blackout shutters. 2 full baths and 2 bedrooms gave space to spread out.
No TV in master bedroom (though it is wired for it, we guess just not yet installed).
Die Wohnung ist wunderschön!
Очень хорошие апартаменты. Стильные, уютные. Отличное расположение. Единственное чего не хватало, это обеденного столика вместо имеющегося низкого диванного и крючков в ванной. В остальном все замечательно
We had a great stay. The location is perfect and the views are beautiful. Despite being on the ground floor, the apartment has surprisingly efficient sound insulation, so external noise was not disturbing. It is clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and beautifully designed. Everything was easy and well organised. Marcello, the manager, is super kind and efficient.
No dedicated parking area for unloading luggage (but you can stop for a few minutes in front of the property for a "brief technical stop")
Betreuung durch Marcello Lage
Avevamo due appartamenti, entrambi molto curati con arredamento originale. Letti comodissimi. Super accessoriato, c'era tutto. Zona alta di Taormina, quindi un po' di scale da fare, ma niente di traumatico. Bagni molto puliti e abbastanza spaziosi.
niente
5 minute walk to Porto Catania garage. 2 min walk to the main drag. Good wifi. Good beds. Good water pressure. Kitchenette and fridge.
La habitación super bien decorada, todo impecable. Camas super cómodas
Tv no se pudo configurar.
This was a really nice accommodation. Marcello was very warm, friendly, and helpful. The apartment was beautifully furnished, and the bathroom included some nice cosmetics. On top of that, there was a very effective hair dryer and a lovely view from the balcony. If I travel to Taormina again, I will definitely book this accommodation again.
Everything was more than perfect
Professionalità, attenzione all’ospite : grazie Marcello!
Superbe. Proche du centre
A beautiful and spacious apartment conveniently just up the hill from the main promenade. The staff makes this property special. Sara was extremely helpful with directions and dining recommendations. Marcello was critical in helping us coordinate taxi, train and adjusted timing to arrive at our next apartment. An excellent stay!
Nothing. I would eagerly stay here again.
The apartment was lovely. Very well appointed and comfortable. Our host was so helpful in helping to organise tours, recommend restaurants etc.
Nothing
The amazing views and excellent location. Marcello was incredibly helpful as well with all of our requests. Would highly recommend and return here one day (if we are lucky enough to make it back to Taormina)!
Самые лучшие апартаменты: огромная терраса с видом на город и море, стильные комнаты (гостиная и спальня), два туалета. Все очень чисто, красиво, комфортно, кухня с посудомоечной машиной и кофемашиной! Самое доброжелательное отношение персонала, желание и готовность помочь в любом вопросе! Лучший отпуск!
Excellent service team — they were very helpful in resolving our issues even on a Saturday, which we really appreciated. The room had a fantastic view with both the ocean and the volcano visible, absolutely stunning. The room itself was spacious, bright, clean, and very comfortable. The only small downside was that the sofa bed was a bit too soft, and our daughter did not find it very comfortable. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and would definitely recommend this hotel.

Extremely helpful staff, beautiful property and the comfiest bed ever 🥰

tutto, l'unica pecca, le scale che ci sono per arrivare al corso, avendo due passeggini, abbiamo faticato un po'. Il resto meraviglioso
Habitacion panoramica que acordamos era excelent, con terraza y vistas espectaculares

Very clean and confortable
Too close to the street when you open the door. Is not safe to be with kids. It would be perfect if breakfast was included.
Lovely and clean and spacious, quiet at night but only few mins walk down to town. Super friendly and efficient Marcello
As it has a reasonable kitchen, some salt-pepper and olive oil would be appreciated.. and i hate single use plastics so a bigger soap-shampoo in bathroom would be ideal and is what so many places use these days. Nothing at all to stop us staying again just simple cheap ideas
The staff were very friendly
The rooms were warm and air conditioner didn’t cool well at controlled temperature. A fan would have helped also. There are a fair amount of unhoused right outside the door although it is very secure.
Everything! Modern, bright, immaculate, friendly, beautifully appointed, comfy beds…..
We loved everything.
דירה יפה מאד, בעלי הדירה דאגו לאבזר אותה בצורה מושלמת. דאגו לכל פרט עד הפרטים הקטנים יותר. אירוח מושלם. ממליצה בחום
View wasn't great but understand it was a corner room next to the road so difficult to get a great view
