Claudio was a great host who met me at the railway station to take me to the apartment. There's lovely views across to the mainland and the coast below. The apartment was an easy 7 min walk to the centre of town and although small is very clean and tidy with all the basics and a 'Welcome' bottle of chilled Proseco. There is a convenience store on the street below the apartment block with good coffee if you don't want to bother at home. I have no hesitation in recommending Il terazzinno sul mare in Taormina.
