The apartment is cute, very clean and close to everything. Our host, Gaetano met us at the parking garage and although we could have walked, he drove us to the apartment because it was very hot and we had our luggage. Gaetano had a map of Taormina which he reviewed with us, pointing out places of interest and making suggestions for restaurants., etc. Gaetano was a very gracious host, even stocking the refrigerator with water and juice and leaving some key supplies like espresso coffee, sugar, salt and pepper and oil and vinegar. We loved Taormina and our stay was extra special because of Gaetano’s hospitality and his lovely apartment. His suggestions were spot on, especially the one about leaving our car in a parking garage.........don’t even think of driving in Taormina. This is only a walking town.
