We had the pleasure of staying in two of the of the LaGorgone apartments. We could not have been happier with the location or the welcome we received. Our flight was delayed but Roberta's brother kindly met us at the apartment and showed us around.

Roberta had left us a lovely bottle of local wine in the fridge and the apartment was spotless and had real character. It had everything you could need for a self-catering apartment.

We had a couple of rainy days in Siracusa (we still got some sunshine everyday), but we spent the time checking out the museums, cathedrals and the restaurants and winebars. Siracusa had much more to offer at much lower prices and with better service than Taormina. Check our Taverna Guidecca for delicious antipasti and local wines - it's just a 3 minutes away. There are grocery shops and a fabulous food market nearby too.

We would have been delighted with either apartment, but if you are travelling to Sicily when the weather isn't great (which is rarely) I recommend staying in the Euriale as it was slightly more spacious and still has a small balcony, while Medusa has the roof-top patio.

Great value for a beautiful quite place to stay in the perfect location. I'm looking forward to recommending it to my friends and family.
