Really nice, modern apartment with great views in a good location. Claudio is an excellent host...great communication.
Important to know there is a hill and steps to get down to the city center and all the restaurants and shopping. Easy going down (maybe a 3-4 minute walk), a bit challenging coming back after a big dinner with lots of wine. Get in shape before you come.
We were going to rent a car...glad we didn't. Navigating Taormina by car would be tough. Really tight and curvy roads and difficult parking.
Highly recommend the Cooking by Massimo class. He's a blast and the food was wonderful.
