Maria Irene’s Taormina apartment was totally delightful. Here’a what we liked: - met exactly when arranged; - the bed was firm and comfortable; - the apartment is clean, minimalist, yet fully supplied with stuff you’ll need at home; - it’s quite pleasantly decorated; - they brought us fresh fruit; - they left us coffee to use, recommendations for restaurants, maps; - Maria Irene was in immediate contact if anything was needed; - and the lovely sea view. It’s a bit of a hike up the hill to her place (under 10 if you’re quick), downhill using pedestrian paths took us 9 minutes. At the end of the stay we felt like we were in great shape, too. Totally enjoyable experience in Taormina, which is itself magnificent.
