We thought they were v good for what they were, v friendly and approachable. Giuseppe, who fortunately spoke and wrote good English, went out of his way to ensure we had a good stay, telling us all the things we could do, getting us an adapter when ours didn't fit, his mother, Nelly, giving us breakfast very early on two occasions when we had an early excursion. She too was very friendly and although we shared no common language, this didn't stop her having long conversations at us!
The guest house is within easy walking distance of the centre of Taormina, sites, restaurants, shops. Well placed. Beautiful views from the balcony.
