Barbara and Salvador were excellent hosts. They are very friendly and responded to our requests and queries promptly. They occupy the building above the apartment which made us feel comfortable and secure. In addition to this there is a locked door from the roadside to the property, making it a very secure apartment. The apartment was in immaculate condition, with very good amenities, such as three fully functioning, remote controlled air conditioning units. The property is wonderfully located on the hillside, overlooking the ocean, within a 5 minute walk from the town centre (filled with local shops, bars and restaurants). Yes there is a steep incline from property to the town, however it is not long and very manageable. We would recommend not driving, unless familiar with narrow, steep, windy roads. There is a building under construction below, however it does not affect the view too much and there was no work going on during our 9 night stay. The pool is a good size and very clean. The decking is a tad uneven in one or two places but otherwise in good condition. Barbara and Salvador also own a fabulous restaurant on the main strip with magical views over Taormina and Mount Etna. Thank you so much for making our honeymoon so special. We highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay in Taormina.
