We really enjoyed our stay in Taormina. The apartment worked out great for our needs: we had 2 separate bedrooms, so our daughter didn't need to sleep with us, the bathroom was nice, modern and clean with a great shower.
We found everything we needed: plates, glasses, silverware and we used the kitchen a couple of times to make tea. The coffee machine with good quality coffee pods was a great plus, as I can't really function without coffee.
The solarium upstairs is awesome. The view is great and there are chairs, sofas, sunbeds and even a shower for the summer months. A couple of times, we bought some street food and ate it up there with a nice glass of wine and the fantastic view. There is also a nice play house for the little ones.
Vincenzo is a great host, always available via phone or Whatsapp. I found particularly nice that when we arrived we found a complimentary bottle of wine and some treats for us and our daughter.
The location is optimal, I'd say. Corso Umberto is a couple of minutes walk away, the cable car to go to the beach is 5 minutes away and the shuttle from the parking garage stops next to the entrance to the building. Downstairs there are a bakery, a pastry shop a pizza to go and a mini market, so you are all set whatever you want to drink or eat without having to go to a restaurant.
We had a great time here. If we ever go back to Taormina – a bit too touristy for my taste – I'd consider staying here again.
