“Brilliant”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2011

We went there for our honey moon and originally booked a studio for 2-3 ppl. When we arrived the owner upgraded us to their best apartment (4-5ppl) with the best view on the sea and a bottle of sparkling wine! So the service was excellent.
The best thing in our apartment was the balcony with a fantastic view on Isola Bella.
The location was just perfect for us: right between the city center (about 300 steps) and the beach (270 steps). When you're at the beach you can go directly to the city center using the cable car and avoid the 600 steps! The problem with hotels on the beach or in the city center is that you basically always use the cable car (about 4€ return but open till late)
Terra rossa located in a very quiet place, surrounded by trees and flowers. The Mediterranean garden of the residence is just gorgeous. The pool (open from 8am to 7pm) and the large terrace overlooking the Ionian Sea with deck-chairs and parasols are awesome. Never crowded, a very quiet place perfect to relax and enjoy the view and the sun.
Finally the continental breakfast included in the apartment price (served from 8 to 10am) was quite good with a lovely tiny terrace.
We would def recommend this residence to couples or families.

I wanted to share our positive experience with all of you! when we arrived we found easily and safe park for our cars.the check-in person was very friendly.Breakfast is good, Rooms are really comfortable and clean. The VIEW IS AMAZING in any points of the residence. We spent all the days in the swimmingpool enjoying the sicilian summer! The entire staff we encountered were courteous and in many cases, friendly. We travel extensively and appreciate the finer things. This residence is certainly one of them!

“A magical home away from home - three days were too quickly gone”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 April 2011

Terra Rossa is a green haven, literally steps from busy Taormina. The location on the fringe of the resort offers a very scenic refuge, with the self-catering apartment we rented filled with windows overlooking the green slopes of the coast. It does take an effort to access but it is a well worthwhile effort.

“Spectacular Views and Grounds Above Isola Bella”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 April 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We really enjoyed our stay at Terra Rossa. The grounds are spectacular with amazing views and clean, well appointed rooms. The prices are extremely reasonable as well. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. it is very nice to be away from the tourist chaos of Taormina, which Terra Rossa is, but our only reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that it can be difficult to get into town from the location. Not terribly difficult at all, but just not super convenient.

“great studio, pool, super friendly”

hidden away in the side of the hills this is a great holiday appartment. they have standard appartments, but also a small studio in the back. we had this lovely studio with kitchen and airco. was nice to be in the back with loads of privacy. pool was great, with a shade screen on the side to relax with a book. breakfast is standard fare. owner/manager is so nice and friendly. warning: the stairs up and down to the beach are long and steep. if you are in poor health pick something closer to the ski lift thing. street parking in lot above hotel.
