Dario is great. He collected us from the train station on arrival, advised on our surroundings, arranged breakfast at the local cafe and even dropped off an iron on request.
The apartment is very comfortable and has a great view over the sea.
Giardini Naxos is very convenient to Taormina and isole bella but otherwise, there is not much in the local area. As a jump off point it is perfect though.
My fiancé and I are already talking about going back again in the future, and will definitely look Dario up.
