A review of this property can only start with the spectacular view across the bay at Taormina and sweeping up towards Etna. Probably one of the best views you can get in Taormina. We were fortunate to witness a small lava flow from Etna at night which added to the delight in staying here. The apartment is very comfortable to live in, not over modernised, but reflecting Francesco's family heritage. Communication with Francesco was excellent with a very friendly and helpful attitude, and although we had a very slight issue whilst staying, Francesco sorted was sorted it immediately. The property is situated high above the town, and there are quite a lot of steps leading to the main street which are relatively steep, but once we had used them a couple of times, we got used to it. Alternatively, a taxi to or from the main street of Taormina is ten euros. We really enjoyed our stay and could happily have sat on the balcony the whole time we were there with a book and bottle of wine, but there was plenty of other things to do in Taormina and the surrounding area. Highly recommended.
