10 Reviews of Property 53493 in Taormina, Italy

We stayed 1 week in the apartment Zagara.
It was very clean, perfectly equipped & exactly like on photos.
No surprises at all except.... The fresh fruits from Carmen's garden, waiting for us on the table!
Carmen welcomed us and spent some time with us recommending the places to visit and the restaurants to go.
Needless to say that with such a start the week was perfect.
Each single breakfast on the balcony with Italian coffee maker was a pure moment of happiness.
Thank you Carmen for your great accommodation!

My husband and I stayed in Zagara apartment at the end of July for a week. Zagara was exactly as the description. The apartment was well furnished with individual pieces that had been chosen to complement it's individual style. My favourite piece was the chandelier in the kitchen. Some of the furniture was quite old but for me that added to the character.

The balcony was very pretty and great for 'people watching'. Each morning the main street was a busy hive of activity with fruit, veg and fish sellers. The supermarkets were all well stocked as was Carmen's kitchen that had everything needed to make some lovely meals. The shopkeepers that I spoke to were helpful and helped me to understand how to cook and eat some of the vegetables that I hadn't seen before.

Letojanni is a good base for the area. A short stroll to the beach and a good selection of bars and restaurants, each one having a perfect setting for your evening meal overlooking the sea and moonlight.

It is very easy to visit Taormina, just a short cheap bus ride. The buses are good and run until one o'clock in the morning in high season so you can have evenings there too.Taormina is beautiful but expensive. We were a bit disappointed when one of the waiters tried to con us with the price of the beer. But this can happen anywhere and certainly didn't put us off visiting again.

Carmen was a lovely lady. She had said she would pick us up at the bus station in Giardini but we got off at the wrong one (there are 2). But using my broken Italian and her broken English she managed to find us and take us to Zagara. She had given us a lovely bowl of 8 big juicy peaches that she had picked from her fruit garden. We could contact her at any time. She picked us up at the end of the week and took us to the (correct) bus stop for the bus back to the airport.

Many travel guides don't tell you that there is a train station at Letojanni where you can get regular trains to some good places. We didn't discover it till the end of the week so didn't use it. Most guides only indicate that there is a station at Giardini Naxos.

I have visited a few Italian places but Sicily has definatly been my favourite. I hope to back in the future and would readily go back to Letojanni and to Carmen's lovely apartments.

We really enjoyed our five nights in this apartment. Everything was exactly as described and clean and well maintained.

Letojanni is lively but not overwhelming and the town centre location made us feel very much part of the 'buzz' of the place. Access to the beach as very easy and it's a really lovely beach with good facilities and and nice atmosphere. Its a good base for Taormina, Etna and we also managed a day trip to Syracuse

Carmen, the owner, was charming and helpful and I would no hesistation in recommending the place for small families like ourselves (2 adults and a 15 year old)

We are rested the whole family at the beginning of June. Carmen wonderful woman, sent us a taxi to the airport (80evro). We lived in an apartment "Zagara", perfect weather, the sea was cool.Niar supermarkets and bakery. Every day you can buy fresh fish, shrimp (very tasty). On the waterfront of restaurants, ice cream makers. Taormina is a beautiful city, many shops.

We, husband and wife with two children (7 and 2 years old), had a wonderful week in the Zagara Appartment in the beginning of March 2011. Carmen, the owner, was very friendly and easily available. Everything was clean, in good shape, and very charming (just like on the pictures). The description was absolutely accurate.

We would definitely recommend this appartment happily to our friends and family.

We loved the grocery store (alimentari) just around the corner where the neighbours chatted the whole day away, the beautiful sea view from the kitchen and the balcony. We also enjoyed the street life right under our balcony. Italian street life that is so much more interesting than TV.

The beach is only about 40 meters from the house. I could sit there the whole day and watch the lovely scenery. Our kids enjoyed the beach, as well. But the water is definitely too cold for swimming in March.

Keep on reading the other good reviews, book this appartment, and enjoy life. Sicily is wonderful. Try the oranges!!!

Zagara ist ein Traum. Die bunten Wände in Kombination mit den schönen Holzmöbeln und den vielen kleinen Acccesoires.... Hat uns super gefallen.
Die Wohnung liegt zentral und man bekommt das ganze italienische Bilderbuch geboten.
Die Vermieterin Carmen hat uns in Taormina abgeholt, und auch wieder für unsere Rücklreise hingebracht - Toller Service danke noch mal an dieser Stelle. Wir können das Appartment wärmstens empfehlen !

Sehr schöne Unterkunft, in der man sich schnell im Urlaubsort zuhause fühlen kann. Liebevoll eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Wir waren als Pärchen unterwegs und haben das Frühstück auf dem Balkon mit Blick auf die Piazza genossen. Ideale Busverbindung nach Taormina vor der Haustür.
