Taxi service also available on request from or to Catania airport with a Minivan for maximum 5 persons 120.00 Euro. Parking Information: Inside of the Residence we have a small parking area for 2 cars and on request a space can be reserved at the price of 10 Euro a day, otherwise is possible to park in the 24/7 municipal multi-storey car park of Porta Catania which is located just before the entrance of Taormina and at a 5 minutes walking distance from the apartment.

It was a great place to stay as it was very clean, had amazing views on the terrace and was only a 5 minute walk from Porta Catania - one of the main entrances to the main street Corso Umberto. Claudio is very attentive and ready to help as he lives in the building. We parked in the parking garage Parcheggio Porta Catania and walked up the hill to the apartment - a bit of a climb with luggage. This is definitely a great place to stay when you visit Taormina. ##### Aaron W. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda M.

Dec 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous Views of Mt. Etna and Sea We stayed in The Penthouse apartment for 30 days. It has stunning views and was bright, clean, spacious and well supplied. Claudio, our host, lives on site and was very responsive without being intrusive. An exceptional feature was a weekly cleaning service, not usually offered at other places we’ve stayed. The location is up a hill outside Porto Catania, close to a local market - we liked the walk into town and back, but for some, the climb up over 60 steps might be hard. It’s a vertical town, so steps are not uncommon. The furnishings were slightly different than in the pictures with a couch and one armchair in the living room. A second armchair would make for a more inviting space for 4. We’d also have welcomed an end table, a table lamp or two and an led light for the terrace. But these are minor details, and largely a matter of personal preference. All in all, we had a fabulous stay and would happily return. Thank you, Claudio! ##### John R.

Feb 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Home Away from Home My husband and a friend stayed in The Penthouse Unit for 4 nights in February ‘25. This was a very spacious, very well equipped, very clean apartment with an incredible view. We are from Canada, not ised to narrow Nd winding roads, so the drive up to the apartment was exciting and breathtakingly beautiful. Claudio’s directions were very helpful. Our car was an Opal Corsa and I certainly would not have wanted a larger vehicle in Taormina. Parking on site was secure and I would recommend reserving a spot if you have a small car and are not afraid of driving up the hill. The kitchen was complete - you certainly could cook in it - sharp knives, a salad spinner, cheese grater and multiple plate services. The best equipped kitchen I have encountered in 9 trips to Italy. There was even a jug of distilled water for the iron. Beds were firm but comfortable with good quality linens. The bathrooms, one ensuite, one across the hall from the other bedroom, were a very good size. The showers had a hand held sprayer which could be fixed to a pole - good water pressure and no lack of hot water. There is a safe. Incredible terraces with unobstructed views of Mount Etna and the sea. I would highly recommend this rental and would love to return for an extended stay if the opportunity arose. Thank you Claudio. ##### Linda H. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janet S.

This was one of those spectacular VRBO experiences. The unit was large, had a modern well-equipped kitchen, 2 modern bathrooms, 2 large bedrooms with comfortable beds and soft linens, dining room and living room looking out onto the gorgeous large terrace ... which has an amazing view of the Mediterranean Sea, the coast, and Mount Etna!!! The view is astounding! The location is superb; very close to a substantial grocery store, incredible restaurants, and shops on the historic and lively Corso Umberto . I'm a hiker and could easily walk to Castelmola, the city above Taormina, and beyond. Claudio was so kind, helpful , and organized when checking us in and helping us during our stay. A perfect host. An aside, this unit has large sliding doors onto large patios, with SCREENS! This is the first property in Europe that we have stayed in that had screens on the windows, sliders.. so we could have everything open and enjoy the fresh air. The bedrooms also have their own nicely working air conditioners, as does the living room. The unit is quiet, private, and beautiful yet close walking distance to all of the Taormina sights .

The View of the sea and Mt. Etna is so amazing - you have to see it to believe it. It will take your breath away. And the convenience of the location is so appreciated. You will understand when You get to Taormina. Literally 4 minutes from great restaurants, a grocery store and the port of Catania. We were able to Park at the property, parking is limited so request a space if you have a car. This is an amazing apartment- don't pass it up. ##### Regina S. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Valerie L. Sep 19, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome! We really enjoyed our stay at Eesidence Schuler! Thank you Claudio for your hospitality. Neighborhood was beautiful but tight for driving, put your mirrors in! Apartment was difficult to find the first time but Claudio met us on his scooter and escorted us! Best host ever 😘 ##### Valerie L.
