We were holidaying on the opposite side of the island and had heard such good things about Taormina we had to visit. However, as it was a 3.5 hr drive we decided to stay the night and travel back to our hotel the next day.
Elisa was fantastic although there was a language barrier she was very helpful and was available at short notice for check in as we were much later than planned due to traffic getting there (over 5 hrs in the end).
The apartment was spotlessly clean and more than ample for what we needed. Would be perfect for a family as you have the whole apartment.
It is also in the perfect location for access to Taormina.
I highly recommend staying here if you are making a visit to the town and have no requirement for a pool.
