Staying in this apartment should be on the list of top things to do in Taormina , it is a magnificent place to retreat to when the crowds become too much , don’t let the thought of the noise worry you , it’s not an unpleasant noise but merely people enjoying themselves ( unlike the drunken revellers back home ) . If you are staying for more than a few days it’s worth going to the local fresh food market so you can enjoy the simple pleasure of good bread , cheeses , cold meats , and best of all the tomatoes !!!! Ask Anne ( your hostess for details ) . The granita at Bam Bar is as good as the one in Noto . Enjoy.
