Rachele met us at her appartment and helped with the parking which was awkward for us as we had only just picked up the car from Catania airport and weren't used to an automatic, driving on the left or the Italian rules of the road (there aren't any!) We were warned that the parking space is for small cars only and I would agree. Rachele left info on the area in the flat and sent us more suggestions during our stay. Taormina is a lovely small town surrounded by breathtaking scenery and we loved having a complete, private appartment to use, especially as Rachele has furnished it beautifully - she definitely has an artist's eye for detail. The terrace was brilliant - we were able to sit out even in the heat as there is cover. Very close to the town centre where there were restarants galore.
