If you are looking for an apartment in Taormina, thoroughly read this short article to be sure that you are making the right choice and, most importantly, avoid big mistakes and unwanted surprises…
While Taormina is one of the most charming and exclusive places in Sicily, it is also one of the most costly villages in the whole island. So, before you book an expensive apartment in Taormina you might also want to contemplate other solutions.
It all depends on what you are looking for…
If your budget is high and you want to stay in a luxurious place, there are many hotels and residences situated in the main town.
However, if you are searching for, additional flexibility and perhaps, even a more logistically suitable solution to your needs, you should definitely take into account the massive amount of apartments available in town as well as in the adjacent villages.
Many tourists who come to Taormina for the first time make the mistake of reserving a hotel or an apartment in the main village and then realize that it is extremely loud at night (tourists going back and forth 24 hours/day!) and that going to the beach each morning can literally take hours (you will have to take a shuttle bus). In addition, parking in Taormina town is virtually impossible and extremely pricey.
So, what is the best choice for those who are looking for an apartment in Taormina?
In my experience, the best solution is to rent an apartment in “Giardini Naxos”, “Riposto” and “Stazzo”. These are small but very lively villages at sea level. There, you will find tons and tons of apartments located at literally minutes from the beach. These are certainly the answer for those who are looking for an affordable, strategically positioned apartment in Taormina.
On top of that, most apartments in Giardini Naxos, Riposto and Stazzo are located really close to local amenities, cafes and night clubs. Moreover, supermarket prices tend to be much lower in these places.
If you are also interested in visiting historical sites, Etna and other villages in the vicinity, renting an apartment in Naxos or Riposto or Stazzo will help you immensely. They are at merely minutes from the main motorway, from where you can easily get to most of the surrounding locations.
Apartments in Naxos or Riposto or Stazzo usually have parking space that is (most times) included in the price.
Therefore, if you are planning to rent car, you can be certain to always have a safe place where to park it.
It goes without saying that, if you are planning to travel with your family, renting an apartment in Naxos or Riposto or Stazzo will also allow your kids to play and socialize in a secure area, far from automobiles or other risks.
Each day, you can choose to ether walk to the beach or to drive to a new site in the area…
Renting an apartment in Taormina and surroundings is rather simple. The best option is to make contact with the apartment owners and not agencies. This can literally cut your renting expenditure in half.
Most apartment owners are lovely people and are really happy to rent their properties to tourists interested in visiting Taormina and have a good time.
You can email or call. On the other hand, emailing them might be the best choice as not everybody will have fluent English and, even those with a good command of the language, might have problems with different accents.
In summary, if you are searhing for an apartment in Taormina, you might want to consider the surrounding villages as well.
While being more logistically suitable for your needs than an apartment in Taormina main town, apartments in the adjacent towns of Naxos or Riposto or Stazzo can be much more affordable, significantly reducing the overall costs of your holiday.
