The apartment is beautiful - huge rooms, modern bathroom, great terrace, fantastic views! Wouldn’t suggest to anyone with walking difficulties as it is located up a pretty steep hill but this is why the views are so wonderful. We didn’t have an issue but tended not to tackle it more than once a day unless we really needed to. The pool area is lovely and although it is shared with the other apartments we rarely saw anyone else in the five days that we were there. Taormina and Mt Etna are easily reachable for day trips.
