The apartment turned out to be better than what we expected - and was simple yet very elegant. We really felt at home. Maurizio was always there for us and the check in was very smooth and simple. Maurizio gave us a lot of tips for places around the apartment. We discovered (to our daughter's delight) that there was a piano in the house as well - and Maruizio (who by the way is a musician himself - having his own orchestra) was kind enough to allow and encourage our daughter to play the piano.
The house has a GREAT location - bang opposite the Mazzaro (cable car) and just a few steps away to the main street of Taormina. The view from all the rooms - is just amazing. We preferred this apartment than to the one with the large terrace - as being at a slightly higher level - we got a better view. The house was well stocked - with nice kitchenette and a washing machine. The wifi was ok in the bedrooms - but living room / kitchen was bit of an issue - but that did not matter much. There are some great souvenir shops next door and the prices were reasonable.
Taormina was just wonderful - and all we did was to explore its little nooks and corners, sip wine and just see the world go by!!
It was raining on one of the days of our stay - and Maurizio arranged big umbrellas for all of us.
We stayed 3 nights - but felt that we were staying in our own home - with a heavenly view!!
I would definitely recommend this apartment to families traveling to Taormina!
