The location of this apartment was second to none. The villa is small, but all you will need to explore Taormina - a very authentic Sicilian experience. We visited Taormina for a wedding, many other guests had opted to stay in hotels, but we were delighted to stay at Villa Duomo instead...the apartment is well equipped, very comfortable bed and efficient air-conditioning. Much the opposite of some of the feedback we heard from friends regarding local hotels.
The location was so close to the top of the main street, perfect for exploring the town, but was v quiet and cool in the bustling town. Having booked the villa for the outdoor space and pool, we actually much preferred the cool sun terrace which was truly fantastic...amazing views of the sea, and pretty rooftops, with air-conditioning - it was spacious, cool and a slice of heaven in such warm temperatures.
Livio was a fantastic host, the communication was more than we could have asked for. He helped arrange a taxi from the bus station to the apartment, alongside many recommendations and kindly dropped us at a Lido for the day near the bottom of the cable car. Livio could not have done anymore, it was a pleasure to meet him and stay at his home.
