This apartment is a gem. It has everything we needed and the description was exact. The town is lovely, the people are nice, and there are plenty of places to eat as well as a wonderful market 2 doors down where they went out of their way to give us the best produce and cheese even though we mostly communicated with hand gestures and google translate. The bus service is easy and the stop is only fifty meters from the door. The view from the rooftop terrace is worth the price of the apartment and yet there is so much more there! Extra towels, and an umbrella for the beach, a washer, coffee and a pot, and other food available as well. You can walk to Taormina down a steep hill with steps and take a bus back for under 2 euros. It is not far from the train station to other locations but when you return to Castlemola you are far from the city at the top of a mountain with a castle in your back yard. I highly recommend this place
