Myself and a friend stayed 1 night at Marialuisa’s place and it was the ideal location and spot for us. The interior of the apartment was on the smaller side, but stylish with modern touches within. The real bonus was the garden area, which was beautiful and a joy to relax in with a glass of wine. The place was also situated perfectly in the heart of the Taormina. Couldn't ask for a better location. The tricky parts were finding appropriate parking (which then required a bit of walking to the apartment) and locating the apartment itself (which actually sits on a small street behind the specified address in the backyard area like a guest house). We had some trouble with these aspects and I think some more detailed directions would be beneficial for guests arriving. My Italian is beyond rusty, so the language barrier didn't help either. But it wasn't too long of a delay and all worked out just fine. Taormina is a spectacular destination. It does have a slight touristy feel, but without question it maintains its authenticity and charm. I hope to be back some day.
