Mary lives in Naples so we were greeted by her father and mother who were very kind and helpful. His English was good enough for us to get a full orientation to the apartment and Taormina. We were not asked to make a security deposit.

We stayed two nights in early December 2015. The apartment is large, comfortable and quiet. I especially appreciated that the bathroom was heated as otherwise it would be quite chilly showering in the early morning. The apartment is perfectly located within a short walking distance to everything. And, the view from the apartment terrace is fabulous. To me that is what Taormina is all about--the views.
