We had an awesome time in Taormina and Alessandro made it a wonderful time. He helped us find his home and then when we got close, came down and got us. Alessandro and his family showed us where to eat and what to look at. His family also made us coffee the second day that we were there and enjoyed in on the balcony enjoying the amazing view.
The flat was on the garden level on his families home and was perfect for our stay. It was very large and had more space then we needed; you could house your family their if need be. It was clean, well equipped and close enough for us to walk everywhere. It was a little bit of a walk and we enjoyed that walk because of the amazing views on the way.
I would recommend staying with Alessandro and his family when you are on Taormina.
