This is a lovely spacious apartment where we had a gorgeous 2 week stay. The water is clear blue and although rocks, my family preferred it to sand. Plenty of good restaurants in nearby towns. We hired a car to get to see more - Taormina is a must! I would suggest a car too to get food shopping up to the apartment as the road in the complex is steep - although being up the hill is why you get such an amazing view from the balcony! Thank you Luciano
