We had a wonderful stay at Vanessa's apartment. The location is great - easy walk downhill into the heart of town, yet out of the craziness of the heart of town! We were able to park our car just down the street - and didn't really use it again until we left. Vanessa met us at the Taormina exit from the highway and we followed her car to the apartment - all very easy. We loved our stay and highly recommend this apartment if you're traveling to Taormina!
