This place was large and gorgeous (including the views). Everything you need is in place and we enjoyed our time in Taormina. It wasn't Silvio who showed up and helped us, it was Susanna & her visiting daughter (stated she had never been there before) and there was some confusion (unclear/very late information). Consequently, getting clarification on her phone number that had a strange symbol in it (the number 1 looked odd with a sign ^ instead of a number) were met with statements like - "I already gave you that").
However, all worked out. If you don't speak Italian, be sure to obtain extra info/clarification about the area so that your stay is the best possible!!
The stairs can be taxing, but we got in great shape from all that walking!
Our trip up to Castelmola was lovely (take the bus in the summer as walking uphill is so hot and appropriate stairway was confusing to find/follow).
The bus up to (and back from) this accommodation is easy so don't be afraid to use that system instead of a taxi.
