We stayed one week and loved it. Be advised, there are 60 steps from the street to the apartment; but if you have a problem with steps or walking uphill, you probably shouldn’t be vacationing in an Italian hill town. The street below the apartment has no sidewalk and is somewhat busy with traffic, but there is a pedestrian lane wide enough to safely haul luggage or groceries from the nearby parking lot (Lumbi) or market. From the apartment, one just crosses this street and descends more steps to find Taormina’s charming tourist area is very close.
