In an expensive town, Claudio's condo is a tremendous value.

Location is ideal: 2 minutes to the gondola which takes you to the beach and 5 minutes from the picturesque downtown of Taormina.

Host: Claudio was there waiting when we got off the bus from Catania. Eager to show us his family's condo and enthusiastic to share his favorite places around town.

Layout of the condo is a typical studio with a sensational balcony overlooking the water.

I rate this property a 8.5/10. The only deductions are 1 point for a small shower (I'm 6'2"), hot water does not last very long and .5 for no WiFi.

All said, I would certainly recommend staying here for the location and value! My cons are simply small creature comforts.
