We loved our stay in Andrea’s apartment in the Yellow House in Taormina. The pictures online reflected very well the place. It is nicely decorated, spacious enough for 2 people, with an American kitchen opening in a pleasant little living area. It has everything one needs in the kitchen, although we did not get to use it. Our stay was too short. We wished we stayed more nights. The place has some additional features not shown which makes it even more attractive: from the windows one sees the fortress at the top of the hill (beautiful all day long, and nicely lit at night), one can see the street below, with all kinds of people and activities (there is very little noise in the aptr. from that), some terraces decorated with Caltagirone sculpted heads, and plants. Andrea, the host is very prompt in answering messages, and easy to communicate with in English. We did not meet him in person, but it was OK since he gave us good instructions. The aptr. has an excellent location in the old town, beautiful narrow medieval streets, just opposite the Red and White restaurant (excellent food, try the sea orchin and Bolognese pasta, the Modica chocolate mousse, the Etna white wine, the Nero Diavolo red wine 2007; the owner is very pleasant). Location of apt. could not be better: 5 minutes walk to the main streets, 7 min to Messina Gate, 10 minutes to the Greek Theater, 3 minutes to a bar (Bam Bam I think) where we got coffee and excellent croissants in the morning. We had breakfast on the balcony (tiny but very romantic, we took a little nightstand as a table, and it has 2 chairs… wonderful for a drink in the evening too…) If we will go back to Taormina (we live very far away, Los Angeles, California) we will stay in Andrea’s place again. There are 2 flights of steps to walk up (steep, since the stories are high), and we felt we needed a flash light. But one of us is 80 years old, and could make it with no problem. We really enjoyed the place. It was nice that it had air conditioning (very good) too. Thank you very much, once again, Andrea
