We really loved this place - a proper family home in the original spirit of Airbnb. Despite being just a street back from the public beach in Giardini-Naxos and close to all the bars and restaurants, it was still peaceful at night. Spacious and comfortable with air-con to keep cool and an outside roof-top terrace to relax on. Fully equipped kitchen, with washing machine too. Maria and her family were helpful throughout and made our stay very comfortable.
Thank you for a lovely holiday :-)
We spent a lot of time in Bar Schizzo bearby and can heartily recommend their Panini and Gelato.

Only very minor gripe in that the local bus doesn't seem to match up with the train at all so you are pretty much reliant on the frankly exorbitant €20 taxi ride if you arrive by rail. It is a walkable 2km from Taormina-Giardini station but it's a busy and bendy road and obviously very hot at times. Nothing to be done about this of course, just a little annoying.
