This apartment in Taormina is definitely away from the hustle and bustle of the city, which has its advantages and disadvantages. We arrived by train and took a taxi to and from the apartment (Elena or anyone at the front desk will be happy to call and book you a taxi if you ask).
The apartment is exactly how it looks, and the view is gorgeous. It's spacious and relaxing, but take quick showers if you don't want the water to get cold!
Like the other reviewers have said, be very prepared to climb up and down tons of flights of stairs, to get to the beach or the city center.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay in Taormina!
