The apartment was situated in the heart of Taormina, just a 5 minute walk to the main strip. The view from the balcony was amazing as it is situated on a hill overlooking the mountain. The only draw back is parking, if you come with a vehicle it is hard to find parking. One night we took out the car and when we arrived back at approximately 11:30 pm, it took us 1 hour to find a parking spot on the streets and it was a 15 minute walk from the apartment, not ideal when you are on vacation.
