Francesca and Salvo were great hosts. They were friendly, picking us up from the train station and showing us the features of the apartment. The apartment has everything you need for a good holiday. It was immaculately clean has lots of little decorative touches that make it special. There is a nice terrace with a sea view where you can eat breakfast and watch the locals going for a morning swim. I do not think w could not have asked for better value for money.

The best feature of the apartment is the location - directly opposite the beach which is lovely. Better still, the beach was never completely full of tourists (this was early July). It's very convenient as you can just walk back to the apartment from the beach in a couple of minutes. Also there is a wide selection of restaurants and geletarias, again, within walking distance. We also felt that the food locally was very reasonably priced. Equally if you want to cook for yourself there are shops locally and the kitchen is fully equipped.

The apartment is a short bus ride (10 mins or so) from the picturesque town of Taormina where there are additional beaches. There is also a local train station if you want to venture further afield.

All in all - we had a wonderful time and I would whole-heartedly reccommend this apartment and the destination.

Thank you Francesca and Salvo for sharing your home!
