Le Porte Di Taormina

The apartment wasn’t as advertised, and we arrived to find it in poor, unsafe condition. Plugs were sticking out of the wall, and a full rubbish bag from previous guests had been left outside our door. The balcony was dirty and overgrown, smelled foul from accumulated rubbish, and even showed possible signs of rodents. Basic security and amenities were a concern too. The shared balcony door was broken and held shut with a wire cable. The bedroom doors were loose, translucent glass panels that rattled loudly at night and gave no privacy. The fridge didn’t work, the wardrobe doors were damaged and unusable, and several bulbs were out, leaving the rooms dim. There were no cups, plates, or cutlery, despite the listing saying the kitchen was fully equipped. The Wi-Fi never worked during our stay, and the property didn’t respond to our repeated calls or messages. The stress and inconvenience were significant. We couldn’t find suitable alternative accommodation because of local availability, and this ruined what was meant to be a special trip. I’d planned to propose to my partner while we were in Taormina. I strongly urge future guests to avoid the property until these serious issues are properly addressed.
