Had a wonderful stay at Taormina. Room was just as in photos, but with slightly nicer decor (must of had an update). THE VIEW, oh the view, so beautiful and the little private terrace was nice for breakfast or reading a book.. Short walk down some steps to the beach and a strip of shops/cafes and the cable car which gets you up to the top of Taormina's main shopping/restaurant district.. Cost €3 each way / €10 daily. It was so worth it it avoid all those steps up though.. Once at the top, our place was an easy downward walk with a few steps, took about 10 minutes. You are located roughly half way between the beach and the top of Taormina, which is great, unless you're walking back up the steps from the beach.. But steps always come with a fantastic view in Italy.. Elena was lovely, very helpful with suggesting places to go/ eat. There was even a nice welcome note and gift congratulating us on our honeymoon.. Overall we had a wonderful stay, and wished we had of booked for longer than 4 nights..
