Cristina is a very warm and welcoming host, she communicated easily with us via whatsapp and was very accommodating for our 2 small children even getting us a travel cot for our 1 year old. She also provided us with some essentials upon arrival which proved very useful as we were too tired to go shopping upon arrival.

The flat is just outside central Taormina but can be a struggle with little ones, either taking the long road down or opting for the steps to the end of Corso Umberto.

The flat has a large terrace with a wonderful view of Etna, and this was great to spend mornings or evenings and provided a nice space for the children to play safely outside of the flat. Air conditioner is good and there are amenities like dishwasher and microwave in kitchen that make life easier. WiFi was great and reliable, TV though wasn't any use for non Italian speakers and could do with updating.

All in all a great spot in a wonderful part of the world.
