We had a wonderful time in Clara's apartment, which is absolutely in the middle of Taormina, just a few steps from Corso Umberto. Sometimes photos give a misleading impression, but in this case no photo could do justice to the astonishing views from the terrace, which covers three sides of the apartment, and has views to north, south, east and west, including direct views of Etna, the Teatro Greco, the Ionian Sea, and Taormina itself. The apartment is well-equipped, with loads of space and storage, and the furniture on the terrace is comfortable and comprehensive. Communication with Clara and Judit was very prompt and clear, and they were incredibly generous with check-in. The only possible downside - and this only for some - is that the central location means that 5 days a week there is a low hum till after 4am from a lounge bar in the street below. The apartment is well sound-proofed and we had no trouble sleeping, but light sleepers might find there is no alternative other than to go out and join the party...
