We had a wonderful stay in the apartment in Taormina. Emanuel was a fantastic host. Very quick to respond to us prior to our vacation. We got lost finding the entrance to the apartment and ended up driving in the small windy streets of Taormina. Emanuel somehow found us and helped us to follow him to the apartment. Location was about as good as you can get. A very short walk to all the restaurants and shops of Taormina. The apartment has a very handy parking spot and an amazing pool with an incredible view. The actual apartment was great - very clean and plenty of room for a family of 5. 2 kids shared a room and the third slept on the sofa bed. Blackout shades everywhere were very useful for jet lag. Highly recommend anyone to stay here.
