Everything was wonderful. The pool and the lovely view live up to the expectations set in the pictures and description. The location is great, an easy walk to all that Taormina has to offer. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed - plenty of pool towels, basic staple items so that we only needed to buy any food we wanted to have on hand . Plenty of room for our group of 4 adults and 4 children. We spent most of our time at the apartment on the large terrace or in the pool. Emanuel was friendly, thorough, and had great local recommendations. He even made reservations for us for dinner at Don Ciccio - amazing and the best meal of our two week trip to Italy. Would highly recommend!
