I had two nights in Casa Arancio in Taormina. The check in was easy, the house was clean, the neighborhood seemed tranquil (this was November, but there were still plenty of tourists in town), and the location was absolutely superb—very central, spectacular sights, and scads of great restaurants within a very short walking distance. Taormina was a delightful city, and Casa Arancio’s location only made it better; the beauty was right outside.
