We rented the Villa Capinera in Taormina for the period 12/26 August, unfortunately it was a disappointment:
The direct access to the sea indicated in the description of the villa is actually a connection to an extremely smelly gallery with a long staircase leading to two beaches (Bagno Delfino and Lido Pigna).
Unfortunately, the Lidos were so crowded that they could not park, so during my stay I only swam twice in the sea, one of which because I rented a boat.
In the garden where there is the connection with the tunnel that leads to the beach area, we often found garbage bags or cigarette butts most likely thrown by people passing by to go or return from the beaches.
The passage of trains in front of the panoramic terrace of the villa was not only twice a day as I was informed but also every 20 minutes in the morning and less in the evening.
The villa is located in the most chaotic point of Taormina, the entrance overlooks the cable car square, so during the day and during the evening you could hear the noise of horns and cackles of people continuously.
After two days we wanted to escape.
Vacation to forget.
