Good place. Apartment is very spacious. However, there is a road right under the complex from main highway to Taormina so it does get pretty noisy. You'll need to drive to the beach or take cable car if looking for sea dipping. the good beaches are in Naxi (10=15 min drive).
Pool is awesome.
Town of Taormini is packed with tourists but it's possible to find quiet streets. However, it's mountain town so walking often involves stairs
