This is by some distance the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in. The flat itself is a lovely place to be in, with a big kitchen/dining space, sizeable bathroom and comfortable bed. There is also secure parking if you have a car. The real plus point is obviously the balcony, which has simply the most incredible view of Mount Etna and the Sea and is worth every single penny. You can spend hours just looking at it. It’s extremely well located, taking just 5 minutes to get into town - the trickier part is getting back up! There are lots of steps but as long as you’re reasonably fit you’ll manage; it’s the same everywhere you go in Taormina! There are taxis available too if not. Francesco is a fantastic host who speaks amazing English, he picked us up from the bus station and showed us quickly around Taormina, gave us plenty of recommendations and was always on hand and quick to reply if we needed anything. He even left us a bottle of wine which was a really nice touch. All in all, I couldn’t recommend Francesco’s flat any more - if you’re going to Taormina you have to stay here!
