Ad's place is wonderful and beautiful. Great baths and bedrooms. Beautiful scenery from the balconies. We ate breakfast every morning on the balcony. The kitchen was well equipped. The master suite was closed off and had a private bath which was very nice!!! (the bed was very firm). The communication with Ricardo, the manager, was excellent. We arrived in the dark and had a little difficult time finding the apartment. Ricardo came to the apartment and waiting in the street to guide us!! Also, the cleaning person,Sandy, stopped over to inquire about our needs. She was very warm and made us feel at home. The apartment was stocked with goodies for breakfast and a welcoming bottle of wine. We were a group of 6 with ages ranging from 8 to 78 years old and everyone was happy. My only complaint was walking the hills which is a part of Taormina. At 72 years old with a little breathing problem it was, at times difficult but not for my 78 year old husband!!!! We highly recommend renting!
