Before our arrival, Mario emailed us advice on getting Interbus from Catania airport to the Taormina bus terminal, then met us there and drove us to the apartment. The apartment is perfectly located - close enough and central but not too noisy. It is an easy short walk to the main street and is close to many good restaurants. The apartment also had everything we needed, with modern and comfortable furnishing, good security, a washing machine and air conditioning, plus the bottle of red wine Mario gave us when we arrived was excellent. Mario was easily contactable and very responsive to any questions we had. We will recommend Mario' and his ground floor apartment to all our friends.
