The apartment is exactly as described. Quiet, secluded and just what we wanted. Gabriele's dad met us on arrival and departure, and gave us advice on supermarkets and local eating places. Private access to the beach if you wish. No restaurants within walikng distance so you'll need a car. We drove to Taormina, parked in a carpark for 6 euro for 3 hours. Dont bother trying to find a free carpark as the place is crowded. Recommended to stay.
