Gianluca's home is clean, well-stocked and has a spectacular balcony with a view of the water. He was responsive to all our questions and requests. It is minutes away from Corso Umberto and the bus station, and just steps away from the Funiva. We also had dinner three times at his restaurant, Trattoria da Nino, which is located on the ground floor. The unit is on the fourth floor. The meals were delicious and were the best we had in Taormina. There is some restaurant and street noise, but it did not affect our sleeping. When we return to Taormina, we will definitely go back to Gianluca's home. He provided a plentiful supply of decaf coffee packets, water and a bottle of very good proseco to greet us.
