The apartment was absolutely lovely. It was incredibly clean and stylish but also very comfortable (from pillows to mattress). The location is in between the village and beach, which makes it easy to walk places. There are some short cuts. Parking in Taormina can be tricky, so being able to walk is a big plus. It is about a ten-minute walk if that. The place is calm and peaceful and we could help ourselves to the vegetables from the garden! Barbara, Carmelo, and Allan are incredibly kind and helpful. From offering us a lift to helping out when we managed to put a bump into our rental car. Plus any other questions. Seriously great host's.
The kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast and dinners. We would definitely highly recommend Barbara's place.
