Barbara is a wonderful host...very accommodating and always available if needed...she made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived in Taormina...spectacular views from her house...Taormina is a absolute must see if travelling through Sicily and Barbara's place has spectacular views day and night...her house is very warm and inviting and was a welcome for our family of five to enjoy...the house is located half way up the cliff with 300+ stairs to get you to the crystal clear water beach and 300+ stairs to the piazza in Taormina. If you don't like stairs, there is a cable car located 10 mins walking distance away from the house. Barbara provide delicious fresh pastries every morning to go with the amazing coffee and you couldn't ask for a better morning view for you to sit outside on the balcony and enjoy breakfast...there are many restaurants nearby specializing in the local Sicilian cuisine and the piazza is alive every night with musicians, artists and many stores....overall a 5* experience for our family of 3 teenagers and 2 adults...I highly recommend Barbara's place for the views and warm Sicilian hospitality...thank you Barbara and mille grazie per tutto
