If you are searching for apartments in Taormina, carefully read this quick article to ensure that you are making the right choice and, most importantly, avoid big mistakes and unwanted surprises…
While Taormina is one of the most stunning and exclusive places in Sicily, it is also one of the most costly villages in the whole island. Therefore, before you book luxurious apartments in Taormina you might also want to ponder other opportunities.
It all depends on what you are looking for…
If your budget is high and you want to live in a sumptuous place, there are many hotels and residences situated in the main village.
However, if you are in search of, 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.
Most 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 way too loud at night (tourists walking back and forth 24 hours/day!) and that going to the beach each morning can literally take hours (you will need a shuttle bus). In addition, parking in Taormina town is virtually impossible and extremely expensive.
So, what is the best option for those who are in search of apartments in Taormina?
In my experience, the finest 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 situated at literally minutes from the beach. These are certainly the answer for those who are in search of an reasonably priced, strategically positioned apartments 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. Also, supermarket prices tend to be significantly lower in these places.
If you are also interested in visiting historical sites, Etna and other towns 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 reach most of the surrounding locations.
Apartments in Naxos or Riposto or Stazzo frequently have parking space which is (most times) included in the price.
Therefore, if you are planning to rent car, you can be certain to always have a protected 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 safe area, far from cars or other dangers.
Every day, you can decide to ether walk to the beach or to drive to a new site in the area…
Renting apartments in Taormina and surroundings is fairly simple. The best option is to get in touch 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. However, emailing them might be the best option 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 take into account the surrounding villages as well.
While being more logistically suitable for your needs than apartments in Taormina main village, apartments in the adjacent towns of Naxos or Riposto or Stazzo can be a lot more affordable, considerably reducing the overall costs of your holiday.
