Maria was a wonderful host, probably one of the best I’ve had! She picked us up just outside Taormina and led us to the apartment, where everything was sparkling clean and attention had been paid to the details. I couldn’t get enough of the sea view from the outside terrace and the apartment was easily reachable by foot (10-12 mins from porta Messina), but best ensure you are fit as Taormina is all very hilly. It is also 5 mins by car. Maria also gave us very good tips on local spots for eating/ food shopping and kindly booked cabs for us when we needed to head out. The apartment itself has everyone one needs plus a few extra nice touches with breakfast and a coffee machine, so I’d definitely like to return to Taormina and stay here again.
