The house is just as photographed. Whilst very dated in style and decor, and a little run down in places (stiff drawers and shutters, for example), the location is great - you can easily walk into the heart of Taormina down the steps in less than 10 minutes, or a pleasant 1.5km hike up to Castelmora for even more stunning views. The balcony gets the sun almost all day, with good views of Etna. Great to have own parking as well. Susanna was very welcoming, helpful and full of great restaurant recommendations which makes all the difference.
