The location (esp if you have a car), view, and patio are all fantastic. Great coffee maker too. Very charming apartment, but there is Some traffic noise from the road, bring ear plugs. If you want to park there, be aware that the only cars that will fit realistically, will all be classified as “mini’s” by American rental companies websites. I booked one of these originally, then got worried I would get a tiny smart car, so changed the reservation to a compact. All the company had in compact automatics was a Fiat 500L, too big for the driveway in reality. Luckily we purchased the full damage waiver. Definitely do this in Sicily, and don’t be afraid to get a “mini”, we wish we had.
Did a tour of the north side of Mt Etna and Gole Alcantara with a company called EtnaTruvatura, it was fantastic. We also did the full tasting and lunch at Planeta winery in Passopisciara, also fantastic. Highly recommend both. Also great food at Osteria Nero D’Avola and Trequarti for lunch, recommend both. Enjoy Taormina!
