Badia Vecchia Apartment

English-style mansion built in 1939 by the rich old owner Sir. Robert Pretty Barlow, admirer of beauty and good living. A precursor of modern gay culture, he hosted writers, painters and illustrious travelers. He himself a traveler, helped to make Taormina known to many of his countrymen and others.
The apartment is located on the first floor of the house in a very central and panoramic position, overlooking the Etna, the Bay of Giardini Naxos and the Badia Vecchia, one of the most significant monuments of the city.

Best VRBO host ever!
My friend and I traveled in Sicily for two weeks and stayed at VRBO properties. Furio was a wonderful host. He picked us up at the train station and dropped us off at the end of our stay. Going over and above what’s required! It was our favorite stay. The apartment is beautiful. Stylish roomy, and comfortable. And a great location. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone and hope to be able to return.

Muy perfecto!
The space is very comfortable with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. Furio was so kind to pick us up at the train station on arrival. There were all the things you need for a comfortable stay including coffee, water and a bottle of wine. The view from the bedrooms and patio is magnificant! Location is perfect, right above the main street. We will definitely share with friends.

Best location and host
We very much enjoyed our stay and the location. The bed was very comfortable and the bedroom had a wonderful view. Furio, the owner and host gave us excellent suggestions and helped us to find parking for our car. You really don’t need a car however, as we only used it once during our week long stay of one week. There is laundry o few doors down from the flat that was convenient.

Taormina with a view
Spending four magical days in Taormina in the comforts of a wonderful apartment is a great way to experience this part of Sicily. The apartment is clean and comfortable and the views were amazing. Our host Furio made check-in a seamless process. He even picked us up at the train station. And his wife offered restaurant suggestions and other bits of information to help us find our way through the town. It was a perfect stay. Eat the pasta and gelato because you’ll burn calories walking the steps.

Great Find!
This is a pretty 2BR/2BA apartment at the top of the hillside town of Taormina. That means lots of steps, but not unmanageable. I have mobility ‘issues’ but I was able to manage with just some discomfort. Once you walk down to the main drag, it’s flat; going to the beach is another story. Furio gave us lots of good information, and the car park service he uses was VERY prompt and friendly.

Hospitality
Furio was such a great host. He met us by the bus stop and drove us up to his place. His place was so inviting and the bed was super comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessities and there is a patio to enjoy the view and atmosphere of Taormina. The Continental Restaurant is right across the street for you to have a wonderful breakfast with spectacular views. As an added bonus, Furio drove us to the train station on the day of our departure. Thank you for making our stay extra special.
