My girlfriend and I stayed at Villa Nicedream2 from 25 to 27th August 2016. Upon our arrival, Gianfranco helped us to find the villa. Both Google and Apple Maps didn’t gave us good directions. For anyone who travels by public transport: take the bus to Pirandelli bus station from Taormina-Giardino train station. From there you can take a bus that stops near 'Via Dietro Cappuccini'. If you have to wait for the bus, it's probably faster to walk (10/15 min). Turn left at bus station Pirandelli and walk up the road 'Via Luigi Pirandelli' upwards until you come to a crossroads. (Here you'll also find the entrance to the main street 'Corso Umberto’.) Continue upward along a round kiosk and after 50 meters turn right and you’re on 'Via Cappuccini'. Then take the first road on your left hand (Via Dietro Cappuccini) and after 100m you'll find a staircase on the left side with the sign 'Salita Branca'. A few steps up the stairs and you're there.

Gianfranco is a very friendly man who reacts quickly to calls and messages. The room is not super spacious, but clean and modern. The view from the room and terrace is wonderful, especially when you are not used to mountains in the backyard. The bed has a good foam mattress with a rather firm than soft comfort. At our arrival the room lacked a hairdryer, but after a short notice to Gianfranco this was resolved within minutes. The room had no air conditioner at the time we stayed at the Villa, but there was a fan available which was sufficient for us. There is a small kitchen and fridge outside the room for those who want to cook their own meal. We've only used the fridge. WiFi worked perfectly. Gianfranco sent us a message on our second day to check if we were OK and if we still had a good time. We recommend Villa Nicedream2 to anyone who is looking for a neat and clean (B&B-like) room with good privacy and within walking distance to the main street of Taormina.

Thank you Gianfranco for providing a great accommodation during our stay, we had an amazing time in Taormina!
