Gianfranco's place is a great apartment for exploring Taormina and surrounding area. The apartment was clean and consists of 3 rooms; a kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, plus a balcony which has awesome views of the bay. There's also a shared terrace which we didn't use. Gianfranco kindly let us rent a car parking space in a garage under the house at €15 a day, which was much easier than using the out of town public car parks. Gianfranco had some good recommendations for Taormina, our favourite was the bar Timoleone cafe. The location is good... once you know where it is! Even Google maps had issues. Lots of stairs so not ideal if you have mobility problems.
