Carlotta's mother (Dane) made us feel very welcome in their house. Upon arrival she prepared antipasti and a drink and we sat on the terrace which has a beautiful view over the mountains and the sea. She was very friendly and made a nice breakfast every morning. Next to that she provided us with valuable tips on restaurants in Taormina. The house itself is really busy with furniture. The location is beautiful and it's easy to reach by walking up the stairs up the mountain (or taking the bus with your suitcase).
