Gorgeous views from the multiple terraces and privacy! Antonio is a very gracious and welcoming host. He was extremely communicative before and during our stay. Antonio helped provide us with a large beach towel when we said that we didn't bring one, and even made restaurant reservations for us at his favorite places. The location is excellent because you're in between Taormina (on top) and the beach (below). The gondola to go to Taormina is within 5 min walking and it's the best way to see the town. We also just loved hanging out in the private terrace to sunbathe and enjoy the pool. The outdoor shower was a definite plus. AC in the bedroom was adequate as well. There are steps to go up to the house, but nothing that we couldn't handle easily. Steps are also common in the area in general since Taormina and Mazzaro are located on the side of hills. Highly recommend and would definitely come back again.
