We arrived early on our day and our host Laura was very welcoming. We dropped our bags and went around to an local coffe shop for some local goodies. Returning after about an hour we found the pictures did not do her place justice. It is simply FANTASTIC! Her sence of style and collections of art, music and books makes this place very comfortable. We enjoyed several evening after dinner just looking at the art as well as hanging on the patio. In the flat is a quiet bedroom, well appointed kitchen with dishwasher and clothes washer. Outside space has several seating areas and would comfortable hold a large gathering. Laura was also very helpful in descriptions regarding the area and made us reservations at nearby restaurant. She is a very comfortable person who go out of her way to help, just text or email and she responds promptly without being invasive. The property is located 1\2 a block off the main walking street by Porto Catania and 1 block from main supermarket with a great deli. With the great kitchen you can enjoy your breakfast on your large private patio and overlook the Mediterranean waters. We would recommend her spot to anyone who desires to visit Taormina without reservation and know you will enjoy it as much as we did.
