My husband and I spent four nights at Giovanni’s place and we were very pleased with our stay. The apartment, even though quite small, was nice and clean and well located. Besides the sea view from the balcony, there’s a beautiful view of the Saracen castle and Madonna della Rocca church up in the mountains overlooking Taormina. We didn’t have the change to meet Giovanni in person but he was quick to reply to our messages and make sure we were doing fine.
