Antonio's place is amazing! Yes, it is up a lot of stairs, but this is what makes it such a private and secluded setting. The views across the sea are amazing and we spent many nights enjoying the views.
The cable car is a 2 minute walk away which provides access to Taormina and is 6 euro for a return trip (or 10 euro for a day pass with unlimited trips).
Antonio managed to find us a parking space on arrival and was there to help us carry up our bags. He was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. He also sent us some recommendations for places to visit.
The pool was a great temperature and spotlessly clean and was a great way to see off the afternoon.
This is a fantastic place and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking to be in a central location but in a private setting.
