Mario was a fantastic host! I had a lovely 6 day stay in Taormina for a conference. This apartment was perfectly located for attending the conference and for exploring the town, eating delicious meals, and going out at night. It was quite central but is down a very quiet side street, so (in my opinion) it was the best of both worlds. Check in was very easy: I arrived by taxi and Mario appeared as soon as I got my bags out of the car. He gave me great advice on what to eat and what to see. The apartment was absolutely beautiful and as pictured. I would highly recommend Mario's place for a short or long stay in lovely Taormina. I hope to be back in the future!
