Get your thesaurus out and read every word pertaining to “INCREDIBLE”. The indoor spaces is bountiful, spacious and functional, but the outdoor space cannot be praised enough. The price is fair for two couples or a family and the relaxation factor is a 10+.
There is a 12-15 minute hike up a steep hill to get into town but we would leave in the morning, return after lunch to lounge luxuriously by the pool with the magnificent view of the ocean and go back to town for dinner. It was fine for a couple in our sixties.
The only hard part is trusting your GPS to get you there. The road up to Taormina passes directly below the apartment at one point so it told us we had arrived when we had not. We called from the Lumbi bus stop and a young man met us and led us to the apartment. As an American driving a stick shift up through the tiny streets, I was between nervous and terrified during that five minute portion of the trip. We left the car parked in front of the apartment for our four nights and hired a driver for a trip to the Gambino winery for a lunch. Worth the money. A delightful experience.
We loved our stay
