Residence Schuler Apartment The Penthouse with sea and Mount Etna view

Our five day stay at the Residence Schuler was the highlight of our two weeks in Italy and Sicily. It was super clean, well equipped and perfect for two couples with two separate bathrooms. Claudio, our host, was very helpful with arranging transportation for us to and from Cantania airport. The apartment has a panoramic million dollar view of Mt. Etna and the sea. It is very convenient to the market as well as downtown Taormina and restaurants. But we enjoyed the apartment so much it was tempting to just relax on the terrace and enjoy the view. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Claudio.

The best location, as clean as your own home, the best views and Claudio guided and explained everything you need to know about the VRBO. Would definitely stay there again!

Amazing terrace and view. Great apartment. Spacious. Nice finishes. Well equipped and a truly super host. Easy walk into town.

Absolutely stunning setting; better than photos. We stayed in the Penthouse apt. which has an unforgettable view and a very large terrace. Highly recommend you plan your holiday well in advance and book the penthouse! The apt was spotlessly clean with everything you need. Claudio is an exceptional host--outstanding communication; very helpful and extremely responsive to any and all questions.It was very quiet at all times which made for an enjoyable stay. Note: the apt isn't quite easy to find or drive to but certainly manageable if you are an experienced driver in Europe like I am. Taormina is up high on hillside. Claudio provided perfect written, step by step instructions so take my advice and follow them. If you do, you will have no trouble finding the apt. If driving be sure and reserve one of 2 spots available with Claudio for a nominal fee; otherwise you will park locally. Good grocery store less than 10 minute walk away. HIGHLY recommend dinner at Rosamarino restaurant. Charming and gracious owner Rita will greet you warmly and you will have the most perfect evening in Sicily.

Excellent facilities. Everything you would need for your stay to be perfect. Location to the main hub-Bub of Taormina is 5 minutes. Views from the terrace are breathtaking of Mount Etna and also the sea. Recommend strongly.

We had an amazing stay at the Residence Schuler apartment. Couldn't have asked for better views or a better location, and Claudio was very kind and helpful.

Claudio was a great host. He was very helpful with any questions we had and gave us recommendations for restaurants. The penthouse was everything we asked for. The views were spectacular. The location was perfect. There is a supermarket and restaurants very close. I highly recommend booking with Claudio.

Very nice property located within walking distance to old town.

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.

We stayed here for 5 nights. The apartment was beautiful and the view from the terrace was absolutely amazing! Our host Claudio was very accommodating and helpful with transfers to/from airport. Would definitely stay here again!!

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!

The views are beautiful from the balcony. We rented 2 apartments both were very comfortable. Easy walk to town and the supermarket. No complaints would definitely recommend.

An amazing apartment that felt like home from home. We loved the view of Etna and the sea. The location was great just minutes from all the delights of Taormina. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Claudio was so helpful and there to answer any questions we had! We loved the Penthouse! Absolutely beautiful and very clean and WOW what an incredible view from the spacious patio! Thank you Claudio ? Lisa, Bruce,Kim & Jim

The host, the home, the location, and the beautiful sorroundings were second to none. Our host was amazing. We've never experienced such a thoughtful host. The home was perfect, beautiful and in a great location. Imagine being steps from a charming market and the main walk in Taormina, but with peace and quiet. The views from the apartment were spectacular. We would love to stay again!
