This is a spacious, well-appointed property with a beautiful view. The location is very good and the availability of parking is a huge plus in Taormina, where you may otherwise end up parking down the mountain and taking a shuttle. Mind you, as our host Manuel warned us in a note beforehand, the entrance to the parking is very difficult to see when you first arrive. However, our host kindly drove to fetch us further up the hill and guide us back to the apartment. He also made a number of restaurant recommendations and one reservation on our behalf.
One of the nicest features of the apartment is its huge balcony, where you can relax and enjoy the view north along the coast toward the mainland. As the photos indicate, the pool is directly in front of the apartment at roughly the same level, which might create a noise problem during the warm months (it was a bit cool for swimming when we were there in late April).
However, overall, this truly was a "Lux" experience in a very beautiful perched city with its wonderful views over Mt. Etna and well-preserved Greek theatre.
