Alessandra's place is very comfortable with a great bed ~ my back loved it! This place is just across the street and adjacent to the east of the Giardini Taormina train station. Very convenient. Three Euro for a round trip bus ticket and if you are a walker there is a great, though a bit challenging trail to the Greek Theater and Taormina proper. I just would not do it with much gear, in the rain or at night. Alessandra's husband was for me what I invision as the traditional Sicilian man. Assertive, confident, respectful and very helpfull. I do not see how one could go wrong here.
