What a fabulous place to stay. The flat is very spacious, spotless, and well equipped. The best part has to be the HUGE balcony with views over both My Etna and the Mediterranean Sea. We made a point of having breakfast there in the morning. In the evenings we never made it out because our drinks on the balcony were followed by nibbling on all the local delicacies Grace (Esther's Mother) had made for us and then we were full and happy, watched the sunset, watched the stars come out and did not want to go anywhere else. The 2 secure parking spots were great - we only had one car but 2 assigned spots are available to use. The location worked very well for us. To reach Taormina we drove along the coast and parked at the lower funicular station in Mazzaro and took the funicular to Taormina. A very full day out. We went to Catania for the day and opted to take the train (left the car at Fiumefreddo station) which worked out particularly well. There is lots to see in the surrounding areas but we ran out of time. This is a lovely and well cared for flat. Some other guests may have grumbled about rules and instructions but we did not find them onerous at all. We were happy everything was in such good condition and so clean. I would return in a heartbeat, but stay longer to get to know the area better. The only caveat I have is that between the car parking spot and the flat there are about 50 stairs so for anyone with mobility issues or very young children in push chairs this could be a chore.
