Three things make a vacation memorable: place, premises, host. For all three, Emmanuel's apartment in Taormina was a great choice. Apartment is located just 200 meters from Porta Messina, the entrance to Taormina's main thoroughfare. Close to cafés, restaurants, shopping.
The building area is extremely pleasant and the apartment premises excellent for a 2-person stay. The terrace, overlooking the gardens and a fantastic sea view, was a wonderful early morning reminder of the amenities waiting for us along the day. The parking lot was easy to reach in a town where parking space is at a premium.
Finally, Emmanuel, our host, was a prototype of what hosts should be. Always at hand when you needed him for some info, he was not in the least intrusive, always respectful of our privacy.
Don't know if I will have another occasion to go to Sicily. If I do, I will again stay at this place. Highly recommended.
