Staying at Carmelo's Loft City Center was one of the high points of our trip to Sicily. In fact, we used Carmelo's place as a base for part of our trip. The loft's location in Taormina couldn't be better. The views from the deck and the kitchen window are beautiful: the Greek theater from the deck and Mount Etna from the window. Carmelo was very welcoming in having the apartment and small refrigerator equipped with some snacks and drink. We never actually met Carmelo to thank him in person but we did meet his wife and sister who provided us with the keys at different times. We would not hesitate to recommend Carmelo's place to our friends.
