Beautiful and spacious apartment with wonderful views from the large terrace, both across the sea to the rising sun, and to the steep hills that tower over Taormina. It is on the ground floor and in a quiet residential area about 10 minutes walk from the Porta Messina at the NE end of the main street, where there are restaurants and a good mini-mart. Taormina has some pretty steep hills, but the walk to town is pretty flat, with just a bit of a hill outside the flat. Ad gave us very good directions for driving to the apartment (we would never have made it without them!) and Santi met us at the top of the hill to show us round. The apartment is well furnished and very spacious, and had everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay. Breakfast on the terrace is a real highlight!
