VERY SPECIAL
We had the good fortune of renting Francesca’s apartment at the end of September, it was only available for five consecutive days and we jumped at the chance. It’s a stunning place especially the terrace, which we absolutely fell in love with. The sunrise over the sea is just spectacular, every morning at 7am, lighting up first the water and then bathing everything, including the mountain behind the house in an intense rose gold. I took so many photographs and still not enough.
The apartment is just like the photographs, it’s a very welcoming and relaxing place. There are some beautiful old pieces of furniture, my favourite being the magnificent wardrobe in the bedroom. All the windows have proper Venetian blinds, which create a beautiful light.
We were greeted by Marco who is a charming person and very helpful. The welcome provisions were exceptionally thoughtful: water, milk, eggs, butter, bread, peaches and a very nice bottle of wine...such hospitality!
We found both Taormina and the apartment enchanting and quite honestly can’t wait wait to go back!
