We're a family of two adults and two kids and we stayed at Vanessa's place for two nights during our roadtrip around Sicily. I would highly recommend Vanessa's place. Location is great, walking distance downhill to the historic area where you have groceries, restaurants, everything you need and is only few min away by foot (and handy to go back uphill to compensate all the good food :P). Parking is quite a challenge in Taormina, and Vanessa and her mum helped us find a spot which was really appreciated. The apartment is decorated beautifully to every single detail and is extremely comfortable, it really feels like home away from home. The quality of the furniture and everything is amazing. It's bright and lively, extremely well equipped. Beds and hot water from shower were perfect. We were a bit unlucky with the weather and Vanessa helped with instructions for heating which warmed up the house quickly. She and her family live in same property on other floors so is very easy to communicate and get help if you need and at same time the privacy is respected. I have only positive things to share about both the host and the property, so you won't go wrong if you choose to stay at this place. Thank you very much Vanessa, we had a great stay, we'll certainly recommend your place and would definitely stay again next time we visit Taormina!
