Taormina is absolutely beautiful. We spent 2 weeks at Kimikos place. Kimiko was the perfect host from the Inital contact. She provided us with a great overview of the location, places to visit, restaurants, bakeries, etc. The location was absolutely perfect. It was not more than a 5 min walk to the main st in Taormina (umberto), 10 mins the the local and intercity bus stop, the grocery stores and a multitude of restaurants within a short distance. Loved the fact we could wake up in the morning and go to the local bakery , stop for a caffe, or just go to the local fruit and vegetable street vendor.
We used the recommended taxi company to pick us up and drop us to/from Catania. This s worked out perfectly. The place was absolutely spotless with more than sufficient extra bedding, towels, etc. All the required necessities where provided from toilet paper to laundry detergent.
Overall it was a great vacation. I would definitely recommend Kimikos place for your visit to Taormina.
