Just got back from a week in Sicily. My wife, me and our three boys (11,8,4). Spent a few days in the south and then three nights at Antonio’s apartment. The stay was truly GREAT. We arrived to Taormina late evening and had difficulties find the house. Minutes (literally) after texting Antonio (who was out of town) his sister and parents arrived by car so we can follow them to the apartment. After a short explanation about the flat (which was a exactly like in the photos; simple, super clean and great value for money) we were given a thorough overview of the city - what, where, how, recommendations etc. The place is 5 minutes walk from the center (which is wonderful). Because the city is built on hill, the way back includes some climbing (like mentioned in other reviews). I was worried because of the kids, but can now say - it’s nothing/easy. Really.
