Staying at Ivana´s was a great idea! We (6 of us) had a great time and loved the atmosphere of the house, very cosy and welcoming. The house had enough space for 6/7 people and all you need for a comfortable staying in Taormina. We forgot to bring towels for the beach but Ivana had them already in place. The house has it´s own door directly to the street, so you won´t share the entrance with other neighbours and also has a good kitchen and spacious living room. The location of Ivana´s place was very central, within 2 minutes from the main shops, cafes and touristy attractions and just 5 min walk to the funicular which takes you down to the beach. It was a great option and I will be keeping it in mind for next time when I will be in Taormina. Ivana herself is very sweet and welcoming and he arranged everything very nicely for us. I am lucky to call her my friend from now on.
