Taormina is a special spot and this apartment has a divine view of the water - we didn't want to leave ... We adored staying here and it was fantastic having the pool in such hot weather. Halfway between the top strip of Taorimina and the beach, you watch the Funivia/cable car go up and down the hill. 'Chetti was very helpful with getting us settled and pointed out some great places to eat and ensures our stay was fine. Good communication about avails in the lead up to arriving in sicily with Massimo who welcomed us with beautiful cold watermelon.... Apartment and balcony is great for a couple or a couple with small kids - pull out couch is solid but not for longer than a couple of nights of you are a grown up!
