Leonardo took great care to let us know where to park outside of town, as you can't really drive in Taormina. You then have to take the free shuttle bus and walk for the past few hundred metres. We try to only travel with hand luggage, so not an issue for us. The stairs into the apartment are steep, probably not good for someone with mobility issues. Fine for us.
What then however awaits you is quite spectacular: beautiful antique furniture, very spacious rooms and a balcony with a world famous view across the Greek theatre, the town, the coast and over to Mt. Etna.
The apartment is right in the historic centre, so Friday and Saturday night it gets quite lively. Other nights it is more quiet and the music from the bars and hotels a pleasant acoustic backdrop. Good windows and shutters.
Leonardo's friend who checked us in was very friendly, helped my wife with her suitcase and a generous source of local knowledge. When I had to text him looking for a socket adapter he responded immediately. Excellent.
We really enjoyed ourselves and if you know what to expect, so will you.
