This is a lovely mini-apartment to stay in. To be clear, there are several apartments in this block, which all look very similar, but the one we had was the only one without a bedroom, and had a sofa bed instead. It is the cheaper option, as a result.

Our mini-apartment was very clean and comfortable. The sofa bed is a good one with a firm mattress and good pillows. The bathroom is spacious, with a washing machine, and the place was very clean. The terrace outside is very nice, with reclining chairs and a table in a shaded area that has a garden. There isn't air conditioning, but there is a powerful ceiling fan. We weren't too hot at night.

The area has lots of seaside restaurants nearby and good bus links to nearby Taormina and beyond - there's even a train station in next door Letojanni which is worth considering as a transport option - you can get up to the top of Sicily from here in about an hour.

I'd recommend having a map to hand when you're first trying to find the apartment, as the nearest bus stop is not that obvious and we luckily had a driver who pointed it out to us.

With a comfortable bed, lots of options for eating and easy transport around the area, this is a great place to stay.
