Tiziano and his mother were excellent hosts, really helpful as they went out of their way to help us with getting to the apartment as well as informing us about local buses. The bus services between the apartment and Taormina were fine. It's just important to check the latest services online before going to the bus stops. And the apartment is also very near Naxos. The room was clean and also well stocked with snacks, tea and coffee. Very good value.
