This apt is located on the upper part of the city affording travelers at magnificent view. Gianfranco is an excellent host and overall great person. VerY kind and helpful. The apt is spacious with a comfortable bed and large terrace. GiaFranco shared lemons oranges from the garden along with rosemary which we appreciated. Taormina is the city of stairs if you stay In the upper part you can wind your way down through a series of stairs sometimes steep to the local restaurants and shops. The other locations are down at the beach and you wind yourself upward to a series of stairs as well. Just as steep. We managed well and we are older travelers. We did enjoy returning via taxi occasionally after a large meal. $10. We booked several cooking classes thru Giavonia on the airbnb app. They were by far the best quality. As we were on a long stay in Sicily we found everything we needed in town Deco Loca for fab cheese & wine. Diva for a haircut. CIccio for dinner. We will return to Gias place next season.
