Vanessa is a wonderful host, friendly and welcoming. She very kindly came to meet us to 'guide us through' the streets of Taormina to the apartment. The apartment itself was spacious, clean and just as described and in a great location with a real homely, relaxed feel about it. Taormina is a beautiful town with some great places to visit, eat, shop, relax. With the truly awesome Mount Etna looming over the town there really is a special feel about this place. Vanessa - with her excellent local knowledge (places and people) - even got us in touch with a guide to take us up Mount Etna which was an amazing experience. We would happily stay here again and would not hesitate to recommend it.
