Francesco and his wife are the best hosts. They made our stay very nice and comfortable. We came by train to Messina and Francesco was very kind and picked us up there to take us to Taormina. Well in place he had bought breakfast for us to put in the fridge. Then he went out and bought us arancini, typical Sicilian food since we arrived so late followed by a small tour of the city and tips on what to be seen on Sicily. The apartment is even nicer than the pictures, very clean with all necessities you need. Located just by the main street in the city. The terrace is lovely. The beach is a bit further away but there is a cable car going every 15 minutes going straightly to the beach and Isolabella. The local bus is also an option but they do not always come in time so it is worth paying 1EUR extra for the cable car (3eur per person).
I really recommend you to stay here as it will complete your whole experience while being on the beautiful Island of Sicily.
