I really enjoyed my stay, I travelled with my parents who are getting old now, 72 and 78, so I wanted somewhere close to town. Many routes down the steps, which were not too many in number considering it’s Taormina. Or you could walk down the road for a more gentle route. So even with them waddling along at their pace we would be in Corso Umberto within a few minutes.
The apartment is very spacious, with a balcony that gets sun all morning and into the afternoon with amazing views of the sea, the Roman theatre and Taormina town.
The road the apartment is on has a petrol station next door, and standing on the balcony you can see the Q8 sign, but sitting down you couldn’t see it. And it only a tiny station anyway (compared to the U.K.). The road itself has the Interbus and Hop on top off tour bus. But that’s not a major issue as you will be out all day and of a night it’s quiet. But if you sleep in late then you’ll know about it.
I had regular communication with Giovanni, even though I didn’t meet him in person. He was friendly and accommodating. And he has been to a West Ham game at the old Boleyn ground, so I would have liked him anyway.
Dario who met us and catered to our day to day was very friendly and helpful and organised that we could leave our bags in the apartment. Which we appreciated as our flight home was in the evening.
Anyway, great place in a great town managed by great people. Highly recommend and would stay there again.
