Antonio was very helpful and communicative prior to our arrival. He arranged a driver to pick us up from the Catania airport and drive us to Taormina; it went perfectly and was very easy.
The apartment is great, and the views from the pool terrace are amazing.
Being in the apartment at the bottom of the complex meant we had an issue with the wifi; the signal doesn't reach to the apartment. We had data on our phones so it was ok for us, but might be frustrating to others.
Also, the apartment is indeed incredibly close to the heart of Taormina, a five minute walk to the Corso, but be aware that it involves many stairs: 70 steps from the ground level of the villa, but our apartment had an additional 35 to get up to that level. It may seem insignificant, but in the summer heat it was a bit arduous every time we wanted to leave. Again, not a real problem for us, but anyone with mobility issues or older/less fit might consider it a problem.
Overall, we were very happy with our stay. The apartment is spacious and well-equipped.
