Photos cannot do justice to how beautiful and peaceful this apartment is. My husband and I stayed here as part of our honey moon trip and kept pinching ourselves anytime we looked toward the sea, which the whole apartment faces. It is located on the side of a hill below Taormina, between the town and the beach community of Isola Bella, and commands a sweeping view of the Mediterranean, a tree and flower filled valley, and the coastline north of Taormina. The apartment itself has everything you could need for a holiday stay and is beautifully decorated. The walk into town is fairly short, but quite steep, as is most walking in Taormina, so keep that in mind when packing shoes! We felt so welcomed by Costanza and her brothers, who were all very helpful in recommending everything from restaurants to running trails. I would go back in a heartbeat and only wish we had booked a longer stay!
