This apartment was truly a vacation paradise. My husband, 2 children and I loved having a pool to ourselves and a very lovely and well equipped apartment for our needs.
It felt a bit far from the center of town, but we found we could be at the beginning of town in 10 minutes walk and the middle of things in 20. For us, this walk was manageable and great exercise and, more importantly, we often didn't want to leave anyway because the pool, gardens and apartment were so beautiful and peaceful. It was one of the most scenic spots in Taormina.
Our hosts didn't speak much English, but they could not have been nicer or more accommodating. They had an English speaking friend, Lorna, help us get settled our first day and she was available via text message for follow up questions.
I recommend this beautiful place and these hosts 100%.
