We visited Taormina beginning of September and the apartment of Donnamarie exceeded our expectations: the location above Taormina allowing us to escape the noisy city centre, the view from the balcony with refreshing sea breezes and beautiful sunrises, the well equiped apartment that even had sun umbrellas, sun hats, rubber sandals against sea urchins, candles, diving goggles, beach ball rackets, beach towels, board games, pasta and pesto :) The apartment is not big but more than enough for two people. The air conditioning is quiet, the kitchen contains everything you need for simple dishes, the bed is comfortable, the neighbours are discreet, the orange city bus is punctual and the bus stop is just a few meters away from the door. Shopping facilities are further away, we suggest to do the sopping on your way back to the apartment in the city. We also used the stairs from and to the apartment. It's a refreshing walk in the morning and in the evening when temperatures are cooler. As you are on a hill the view is always amazing. We suggest to also visit Castelmola, the small eagles nest village just above the apartment. We warmly reccommend Donnamarie's accommodation! We would return with pleasure.
