Mariarosa's apartment is amazing. We loved the place, which has everything you may need when you are on holiday. The apartment itself is lovely, with a large terrace to enjoy breakfast in the sun. The kitchen has all sorts of essential equipment provided.

The apartment is quite hard to find as the numbers of the buildings don't seem to make much sense! We got a little lost, despite having a GPS. Her dad did offer to meet us to follow him there and we said we'd be ok with GPS - we were wrong and wished we'd taken him up on the offer! When we eventually found the place, he and his partner were so welcoming and helpful, and told us everything about the area.

I highly recommend this apartment, which is in a non-touristic area and will give you a real experience of what Sicilian lifestyle is like. There is a great takeaway Pizza nearby, with friendly staff, and Taormina is easily accessible.

You would need a hire car to stay here though, but I'd say this is the best way to explore Sicily so is a must anyway.
