We spent a fabulous three days in Frederica's beautiful Taormina apartment. The apartment is modern and perfectly appointed. It is located just steps from the main pedestrian street but in a quiet corner, adjacent to a small grocery store, the best cappuccinos and croissants and an excellent restaurant. The apartment was so immaculate that we thought we were the first ever guests. Our host was amazingly helpful in getting us reservations back to Naples via Catania. We had intended on returning to Palermo - a long bus trip - but Armando found us a better way, taking us himself to a travel agent to make the arrangements. We loved Taormina. March is a good time to visit. There were few tourists and the weather was wonderful. We walked down to the beach, to the Isolda Bella. It was well worth the walk. We cannot recommend Frederica's apartment more highly. The shower and bathroom were beautifully tiled, spacious and so clean. There was lots of storage. We were delighted to see the washer and dryer as we were at the end of a two week travel experience. Armando was a warm and helpful host. Our 3 days in Taormina couldn't have been more perfect,
