This is a large well equipped apartment with a great view over Giardini Naxos and good transport options for exploring Taormina and the surrounding areas.
However, this view comes at a price as the walk up to the apartment from the beach, although only 6-7 minutes, is a considerable effort.
The apartment is located in a residential area, the nearest supermarket is close to the beach and there are many of restaurants along the beach that are around 15-20 minutes away.
The host Claudio was very accommodating, collecting us on arrival, providing a bottle of wine and coming to our aide when we had an issue with the air conditioning unit in the living room.
Unfortunately the faulty air conditioning unit was a problem for us during our stay and had to be switched off. I would definitely recommend any would be renters confirm with the host that this has been resolved prior to booking.
