Daniela was excellent hostes, friendly and helpful and always available with quick response. The apartment has perfect location if you want to be in the heart of old Taormina with easy access to restaurants, shops, cafe's etc. For "light sleepers" it might be somewhat noisy especially if windows are kept open (as you would do during hot/warm season). We found Taormina and surroundings very beautiful and local people were friendly. For our taste there were still too many tourists around in town of Taormina but on the other hand it was easy to find peaceful and beautiful countryside, including small villages, which could be reached by walking or by renting a scooter or car.
