We cannot recommend Gabriele's place enough. It was cosy and had everything we needed. The view from the balcony is absolutely stunning! It is in a really peaceful location, though only a short walk from the centre of town. We really appreciated the bottle of welcome prosecco waiting for us in the fridge! Gabriele was a fantastic host, taking us to and from the bus station and giving us recommendations to make the most out of our stay. We had a delicious dinner at his family restaurant, Trattoria da Ugo, and even got to sample the homemade almond wine, and almond cakes - both sensational. Taormina can be quite a pricey place to stay, but Gabriele's flat was very good value. We would definitely come back again - thank you!
