We traveled to Sicily for the first time with our family of 4 the week after Christmas and Taormina was our first stop. We arrived at night after a long day of traveling and were so delighted by the warm welcome we received from our host. We parked our car in the private garage and fell in love with the apartment instantly. A short walk to the center of town (we never used our car while there) with a spectacular view of the water and Calabria from the terrace, this apartment was exactly what we were hoping for. The beds were extremely comfortable, the wifi worked well, and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The apartment was quiet and had a beautiful smell. The pool was beautiful to look at even though it was too cold to swim in December. We appreciated the binder full of recommendations and the great bakery right outside the building. Overall, the best rental we've ever had.
