We spent three nights in this lovely location. The apartment is quite spacious and well appointed and the views are amazing. We were appreciative of the private parking space for our car, but driving in Taormina is not for the faint of heart! As others have noted, there are a lot of steps down into the town. We walked down each evening and took a cab back home after dinner. Communication with Gianfranco was easy and he greeted us upon our arrival.
