We stayed for 3 nights in late June - wish we could have stayed longer. Taormina is an extraordinary place and difficult to conceive until you've been there. I read past reviews of Massimo's home so understood it was positioned up high and with a steep walk up for the last 100 - 200metres. It was good to know this ahead of time so we were prepared. The benefits are that it is in a great location with stunning views from the balcony, and is in a quiet residential area. (it can be noisier closer to the main Corso Umberto) The home is spacious and comfortable and extremely well equipped. Massimo is an excellent host and assisted us in checking in by guiding us to his property and helping with luggage and talking us through the various features of the property and the immediate area. He was a great communicator and always available via what's app. It was great to have Massimo drive us to the airport in Catania on our final day - his local knowledge, of the property with its associated access issues and in terms of transport, plus his obvious pride in sharing this beautiful part of Sicily, was greatly appreciated. We hope to stay here again one day!
