The place is completed by a small fitness area with equipment to keep you fit while on vacation. From the property you can walk to the famous beaches of Taormina via the cable car which is located a few steps from the house. Attico Giafari is the ideal place to spend relaxing holidays without needing to drive a car yet, for those who wish to explore eastern Sicily, the property also provides a reserved parking space about 300 metres from the house.

Attico Giafari is spread over 3 levels and is accessed directly from the street via several flights of condominium stairs that lead up to the entrance. The entrance, on the intermediate floor, leads into a large living room with fully-equipped kitchen that has direct access out to the panoramic terrace set up as a dining area and equipped with a Jacuzzi tub. From the living room a corridor leads to two bathrooms with shower and two double bedrooms; at the end of the corridor is a spiral staircase connecting the other two floors. Going up the stairs, you come to a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom with shower and a panoramic terrace furnished with a table for 4. Going down the stairs, you come to a fitness area with gym equipment and a small bathroom with shower.

Lovely welcome although over reliance on mobile phone led to some confusion. We arrived on time as agreed in advance but the welcome host was expecting us to ring so we ended up waiting 45 minutes. Our host was very attentive and helpful during our stay, including recommending restaurants.
