Sabrina and her son Antonio were wonderfully welcoming hosts helping us at the arrival, orient to the area (parking, restaurant, attractions, transport and beach recommendations) as well as during our stay. The highlight of the apartment is the balcony and wonderful view as well as quiet, calm atmosphere. Taormina is a significant tourist destination and the apartment while close to the major services and attractions is a hideaway from the crowds.
The quirky architecture of the apartment holds a lot of charm. Cooking an evening meal with a glass of Prosecco, looking over the Mediterranean and then eating at the balcony table surrounded by the light of the setting sun makes this a magical place.
A couple of heads-up, first literal… if you are taller, some ceilings are low, common in many Italian apartments. Second the parking situation can be difficult in Taormina and at the beaches, and the available information on the internet is not always accurate… fortunately people are helpful with information on options, shuttles, public transport and they work well. It is worth asking questions and informing yourself to make the logistics of shopping, traveling etc easier.
