View was spectacular and the pool was magnificent and a great way to cool off quick after a day of walking around. Poll was also never crowded. One of my favorite parts of my stay was sitting on balcony with a glass of wine and the view. We walked everyday into town, great restaurants close by. Even a pizza place that had gluten free pizza for my daughter. Place was spotless and perfect for me, my wife and 2 daughters age 20/22. Isabella who greeted us spoke perfect English so no language worries. She also texted me a "places to see" and restaurants. We even brought dinner in one night because of the view and seating for 6 at table on balcony. Our first Airbnb experience so we were a bit nervous, but it was a home run. Isabella also set up our transfer to Catania airport. I'm 55, but if I was 75 the few (and I do mean only a few) steps you have to take might be a concern for older people. Including these steps, it MIGHT be a four minute walk to the heart of Taormina. There's a lift in the condo but we generally used the stairs because sometimes it was just quicker to walk up/down than wait for the lift. One day I brought (walked) Pizza back to condo for lunch and it was still hot when I got there, extremely important for this NY'er. The grounds for the condo are also beautiful and well maintained. There's also a locked gate to get in, so we felt very secure. Condo also was stocked with everything one could need, towels, cookware, big fridge. A/C worked fine which was important to us. An amazing experience to be sure and would stay here again in a heartbeat. Plus, on a hot day in the city center, the breeze on the condo balcony was great. We stayed Sept. 6-9 so you have an idea of the weather, which was perfect for us. I'm being wordy because I feel some reviews on Airbnb were lacking detail, so I've tried to provide. You will not regret staying here. Greg- New York
