We stayed at Claudio's accommodate end June beginning of July. We found the accommodation to be very clean and well equipped. The terrace has outstanding views and is a real bonus in this location. The accommodation is very close to the main street in Taormina but this is via quite a few steps and a steep slope. Although there is only one air-conditioning unit in the lounge area we found the apartment relatively cool due to it being at a lower level. Claudio is the perfect host. HIs response to any queries was immediate and he could also be contacted via a phone in the apartment. Would thoroughly recommend a stay here.
