Fantastic place! The sea, the hills and the town in one view... Wonderful hosts and a finely decorated, well-furnished, perfecly clean and spacious appartment. What can we ask more? Of course the slope to get there is pretty steep but we found this to be a quite healthy exercize, all the more needed for proper digestion of the very good cuisine served in restaurants and gelaterias in Taormina and elsewhere in this region. Taormina is nice in itself but also a good base for exploring the country including charming towns (e.g. Castelmola and Giardini) and interesting cities (Catania, Messina), not forgetting the very imposing Etna.
