Giardino Blu - Taormina
Charming and practical
Il Giardiano Blu is like in the pictures, quaint and simply decorated in colors of white and blue. It is located on a quiet dead end street where it is easy to park near the apt or better in the garage below. Use the nearby bus to go up to Taormina. It is a few yards from the sea that you see from the living room window. The beach is quiet but rocky, wear beach shoes. You can eat outside on the small balcony. It is conveniently located to slip out to go visit the Etna or other nearby locations. Quiet and comfortable. Since this is new offer a few things where missing in the kitchen but the host promised to supply them and also to install WIFI. We really enjoyed our stay there and warmly recommend it. Taormina itself was a disappointment, it is overwhelmed by the selfie taking crowd and the Corso Emmanuel is nothing but a string of expensive shops and restaurants. The two things to see are the roman theater and even better the 200 year old garden where you will find mostly the locals.
