This home is beautiful with a beautiful view. We were happy to stay a bit outside of crowded and tourist-packed Taormina and enjoy the beautiful view and easy parking. We opted to have the fish dinner add-on, on our terrace, which was really was a highlight of our trip. As far as the apartment, it's a little bare on certain comforts, the beds are older and not the most comfortable, the bathroom is fairly spartan as well. While the apartment is gladly away from the overcrowded streets of Taormina, it can be hard to find if you are not a confident navigator, but Giovanni does provide very helpful directions.
