Staying at this beautiful house by the sea was really very interesting, as it is in the middle of a palm tree farm. This is exactly why we like travelling with airbnb- you get to see places you wouldn't normally! The private terrace is beautiful, planted of course with palm trees. We also enjoyed swimming in the pool, just a few steps away. It also felt private! All the windows had mosquito netting and there were 2 airconditioners. The upstairs room can be reached by a steep stairway and a low opening. The beach access is as adventurous as other guests have described. Virginia was able to tell us where best to park in Taormina and had some good tips for granita and arancina and was easily reached for additional questions. She made us feel very welcome!
