We stayed during an eruption which covered everything in black ash and a week of terrible weather (the Medicane) but we still loved our time in Taormina.
Emanuel was so helpful and welcoming. The apartment was in a great location, and nicely decorated. It was clean and comfortable. The pool isn’t heated so it’s cold in October but still nice for a fresh dip! There’s enough to explore in Taormina for a week, wonderful place.
