The location is excellent in the upper old part of the town, near to the main street with all the little fascinating shops where everyone promenades of an evening. But far enough away up side streets that it is quiet of a night. Loads to do in and around Taormina. We got the airport bus from Catania and Giovanni arranged a taxi to pick us up from the local bus terminal and drop us off at the flat. Driver helped us with the bags and gave us the key etc. Balcony a big plus, in the shade from about midday.
