Unfortunately the house was not in a proper state to be rented out yet. The hot water was not working and there was very limited furniture. There were also basics missing from the kitchen (frying pan, bins, kettle, sharp knives). All of these are fixable.
The main issue is that the property is not 5 mins walk to Taormina town centre. From the house it took us 20 mins to walk down on the path that was suggested. We did not walk back up and instead took a taxi which cost €18.
