Mari was a cheerful host and very helpful upon our arrival in gorgeous Taormina. The apartment was spotless clean with comfortable beds and amenities. The huge patio which is raised above street level, was the very best feature with northeasterly views of the Sicilian coast and beaches below and across the sea to the Italian mainland. Seeing the sun rise over Italy was breath taking. We cooked dinners in the kitchen, enjoyed good water pressure in the shower and appreciated the easy to use heating system since our trip was during cooler spring temps. The location is absolutely ideal. Parking was not available on site, but we found a lot not to far away.
