Unfortunately I didn’t meet Paolo during my stay but his partner Valentina was fabulous. We were in communication before I arrived & Vale meet me at the apartment. She had thoughtfully left some water & juice in the fridge & there were plenty of basic cooking items available. The apartment was really clean & being on the top floor, nice & bright. The spaces were certainly big enough for me although some might find the bathroom/shower small. Having used a minuscule bathroom on a cruise ship, I thought this one was bigger & cute!
Vale gave me directions for getting around Taormina & suggestions on where to get the best local food without killing my budget! She also helped me with my onward journey as her Italian is so much better than mine!
I loved my time in Taormina!
