You have to go 116 steps up to the house, but the overwhelming panorama view from the balcony compensated for everything! You shoud admire the sunrise from there. My friend had a foot injury and the steps were still no problem for him. There are three guest rooms with private bathrooms and a community kitchen on the 1st floor. It is a bit like a small, nice hotel. A public car park is not far away. The center of taormina is a few minutes walk away. Gianfranco helped us carry the luggage to the room and was an accommodating host.
