Perfect location for us, in a slightly quieter part of the town, 5min walk or so to the start of the main area with restaurants, shops etc with a small supermarket even closer and the pool at a hotel nearby which was great. Nice and refreshing in the heat!
5-10 min walk to the cable car which takes you down to the beach (6 euro return per person).
Gianfranco was a great host - helped us up the stairs with our luggage, gave us a nice introduction to the town, helped us out with a car issue, met us at a garage where we could park our car (extra charge), responded V quickly to all our questions - superb!
The apartment itself is fine, the bathroom could be updated slightly but we found the price to be of reasonable value given the prices in Taormina. Lovely little table outside which was perfect for breakfast, with a great view. Would definitely stay again. Thanks for everything, Gianfranco!
