This was a beautiful flat and precisely as advertised - right in the middle of the historic centre and with a stunning view out on the roof terrace. You literally walk out of the front door into some winding roads off the main street, with restaurants, bars and shops seconds away.

Our host was lovely - left us a bottle of Sicilian wine, was easy contactable in the run up to our visit and as we were travelling to Taormina on the coach. We were late because of flight delays but he waited patiently for us.

The flat is fully kitted out so we were able to prepare food and coffee in the kitchen and spent plenty of time on the terrace.

We were unlucky enough to get a bit of torrential rain during our stay and there was a bit of leaking into the flat, but our host was very helpful (his family members on the floor below lent us an umbrella!) in helping us sort it.
