Massimo's place is really beautiful, with an unbeatable view of the ocean and beaches below. Massimo and his son are kind and attentive hosts, who responded quickly to our needs. Do know that there are over 200 stairs to reach the town of Taormina, but there is a parking spot included. It's tricky to drive in the town so the stairs are really the only way to get up and down. But the apartment is spacious, the balcony beautiful, and it has a wonderful shared pool right next door. The jacuzzi was never quite full and never hot during our stay despite filling it, but the pool is really nice. Beds are really quite firm, but the AC is lovely.
