Le Grand Bleu is the perfect place to stay for exploring Taormina and the surrounding areas. Maria gave us such a wonderful welcome, with many, many treats including wine, cakes and drinks and lollies for the kids. She also helped in offering some local places to eat and offered advice on distances to places of interest. The apartment is so spacious and has real character. Our family of four felt so at home there. The location is amazing and just a short few steps down (a very picturesque street) to the hustle and bustle of Taormina. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sicily.
