We spent 8days in Alfio's apartment and it was perfect. The view from the front terrace was spectacular and the terrace itself was huge, lots of space for eating and sunbathing. The terrace is not overlooked in any way and is very private. There is also another balcony at the back of the apartment which was a sun trap in the evenings and great to sit there and watch Sicilian life go by.
The apartment has everything you would want, like a home away from home.
Location was great, just 2 minutes walk to bus that takes you to Taormina and Castlemola, which we would recommend doing.
Alfio took care of everything we needed and was very welcoming. He even helped us plan our trip from Palermo to Giardini Naxos by sending train timetables! He also had lots of recommendations on tours and restaurants.
Great holiday and would highly recommend Alfio and his apartment.
