This apartment is a great place to stay during your time in Taormina. It has quick access to the historical town center, but also has sea views. It was also a close walk to the cable cars that take you right down to the beach. The walk to the city center is about 10 minutes. It does involve stairs, but everywhere to Taormina does.
The apartment is exactly as seen and described. What is not shown in the post is the amazing hospitality of the host. He met us when we arrived, showed us where to park our car and helped us with our bags. He also had great suggestions about where to eat, activities, how to get around. We communicated through WhatsApp during our entire trip. It took but only hours for us to feel at home here! Our time in Taormina was definitely elevated because of this experience.
