This is a lovely 2 double bedroom and 1 bunkroom apartment, with a superb terrace with long distant views of Taormina below. Vehicular access to the apartment is via a steep, narrow, winding and potholed lane. The taxis manage it (sometimes reluctantly) and they cost 20 Euros from Taormina to the apartment. We walked down the staircase to get to Taormina but it is quite challenging and there is an unprotected drop on one side (it took about 15 minutes). To get to the main Taormina beach would take about 30 minutes on foot, using the cable car too. That beach was very busy and it was impossible to get sunbeds when we went in August but we found a good place to swim at Iapanema Beach Club where there was a pool and a beach (plus a fabulous beach restaurant), costing 12 Euros a day per person for the whole day (sunbed included) and a 15 Euro taxi ride from the town (30 Euros back to the apartment). There is a quite a steep staircase down to the apartment from the car parking area.
