My family of 6 rented the entire unit for a six night stay and couldn't have been more pleased with the apartment.

The location is perfect. Is is a very short walk to one of the main gates of Taormina so you can easily reach all the sights in the town within minutes. Across the street is the cable car which takes you down to the beach and Isola Bella. Hint - you can walk down from a set of stairs at the end of the street near a lookout point. A short walk up the street there is a small store with basic supplies such as water and very reasonably priced wine. Just around the corner is a great restaurant called Sapori di Mare which was recommended by the owner of the apartment and turned out to be one of the best restaurants we ate at in Sicily. The Taormina bus terminal is a 5 minute walk down the street so if you are arriving by bus it is an easy walk to the apartment. We also caught a tour bus to the Aeolian islands from this terminal and a bus for a day trip to Catania.

The apartments are very well equipped with everything you may need for cooking your own meals and are extremely spacious and very clean. The upstairs unit has a very modern kitchen and was obviously recently renovated. A washer is available in each unit as are hair dryers.

However the highlight of the property is the very large terrace, and a few smaller terraces that are part of the upper unit. The views were incredible and we looked forward to sitting outside each night.

Communication with the owner was very straightforward and he always provided us with excellent advice about the area.

Taormina itself is a great base location to see sights in Eastern Sicily.

If we return to Sicily we will definitely stay here again.
