This place is awesome and I would describe as a palazzo! Two gorgeous clean balconies off two bedrooms with views of Giardini Naxos and the sea. The bedrooms have comfy beds and great AC. The WiFi is strong.
The living room is grand and the balconies overlook Corso Umberto less than 50' from Piazza Aprile and Wunderbar. There are two full bathrooms, one with a great tub to soak in.
Really appreciate coffee and juice waiting for us. It's really thoughtful when owners leave basic needs like aqua natural, caffe, juice, and milk.
The only drawback is that this apartment is straight up two flights of very steep marble steps which is typical of Taormina. As an experienced Sicilian traveler, I would suggest leaving your large luggage in your trunk/boot in parcheggio and pulling out the necessities into a backpack if you are staying under 3 nights. We were in Sicily 19 days and had 30" large luggage. Thankfully the host helped us carry up the stairs!
We will definitely stay here again.
