Great location for staying in Taormina. Located in a neighborhood uphill from the main town area. Quiet at night, no sound from the town. Very quick access (5 minute walk down the road and some stairs) to Porta Catania, one entrance to the main street in Taormina. The way up the hill to the apartment is steep, so bring your walking shoes and take it slow.
No AC in the bedrooms (only in the dining/living room), so it got a little hot at night when we were there in early September, but the doors to the porch can be left open to get a breeze at night, and there were three fans provided. Beautiful view of Mt. Etna from the balcony.
Giampiero met us during check-in to show the apartment and give the key. He was very quick to answer messages during our stay, and also scheduled our taxi to the airport when leaving. Great hospitality!
