Pros - Great location, in the heartof the old town. Nice house with all necessary amenities and a fully equipped kitchen for cooking.
Cons - Giulia was responsive but slow and unclear in her responses.
While checking in Giulia told me that we can leave the keys in the house during the checkout whenever we're ready- no mention if we need to check out at the given time so we assumed that a bit later is fine. However!
Before checking out, at 0845 am on the morning of the checkout, I'd messaged her if we could check out by 1400 instead of 1000, to which there was no response from her for 2 hours and suddenly we just hear a cleaning lady at the door at 1045 who wanted to clean the house and on calling Giulia she asked us to check out "now". While it's completely fine to expect thre guests to checkout at the given time, I'd expect the host to set clear expectations about it from the start, instead of the last minute communication.
Another major con is if you're coming by your own car - the closest parking to the house is 1.5 km away just outside the old town and costs €24 for 24 hours of parking. The accommodation doesn't have a parking so either add this to your daily costs of stay in Taormina or better not to choose this place if you're coming by car. However if you're relying on exploring the town by foot - this is perfect
