The room was clean, spacious, cosy and comfortable - exactly as advertised. Breakfast on the balcony was a highlight of the stay. Lovely fresh bread rolls and a view over the sea. The house was ideally situated. A short walk to the Messina gate and the centre of town. A short walk to the cable car to the beach. Taormina was pretty and we had a great traditional Sicilian meal at Malvasia.

We were only in Taormina three days, but Giuseppe's vivid descriptions of the surrounding areas of Etna and the eastern region of Sicily gave us the feeling we'd seen more. He even gave us a lift to the station on our last morning. He and his mother were enthusiastic, warm, welcoming hosts and we would thoroughly recommend a stay at Nelly's Guest House.
