A really nice place. Spacious room, well-equipped and clean kitchen and bathroom, nice common areas (including a terrace and summer kitchen). There are two old bikes that you can use free of charge, which is very useful when shopping for groceries (a large supermarket is about ten minutes far by bike). The sea shore (or the beach, if you like) is really a short walk from the place, which is great (you can even spend the whole night listening to the waves and walk back home in early morning). The bus stop (Catania-Taormina line) is 100 meters far from Riccardo's place and there is direct service to and from Catania Airport so if you want to skip Catania city and come directly to Taormina, it only a 70-minute journey. The Hop on-Hop off bus also stop at the same bus station. Definitely recommended.
