Alessandro was the ultimate professional and very helpful in getting us to his rental property. The roads of Taormina are difficult to maneuver at best and he "showed us the way" to his hilltop retreat. The last driveway is the hardest to achieve even in first gear; but the view from his balcony is the VERY best of our four-day trip. The home is definitely as advertised and roomy for many, many more people than just the two of us. We found everything in very good working order and convenient to operate. He offered to come get us in Taormina (all up hill walking) if we decided to take the 10-15 minute walk into town. We loved the home, the view, and how we were so welcomed by both Alessandro and his Mom, Giovanna. When we arrived home very late that night, we found the driveway lights and downstairs entry light turned ON just for us. Grazie!
