You can't beat Rosalia's place for view and location. It was so nice to sit on the balcony an enjoy the amazing panorama. Even from above the water is sparkling clear blue. The proximity to Isola Bella and the quick funicular up the hill to Taormina was a dream as well. We parked our car in the municipal lot and never needed it for the entire stay.
The apartment is very clean and actually quite spacious with a large kitchen and huge bathroom. She welcome us in person with some nice welcome treats and was a great communicator the entire time. Of course nothing else matters as you are mesmerized by the view.
