The location... Wowza! I honestly doubt there is a better place to stay in all of lovely Taormina. The flowery balcony looks down on the main pedestrian street, which is elegant and colourful and full of life. The apartment itself is even more handsomely designed than the photos show — a perfect balance of Scandinavian simplicity and crafty flourishes. Everything you could possibly need is here, and it's a magic place to relax and regroup after a day wandering round Taormina or further afield. Everything is new and in perfect working order, and if anything gives trouble Anita will have it sorted in a few minutes.
Just two tiny things you should know — across the street there's a craft shop with a sewing machine that sounds like a mafioso machine gun. It rat-a-tats from dawn to dusk, but if you're in good mood it's just part of the charm. Second, take Anita's advice and don't try driving a car down the narrow street above the shop... It's more fun to carry your bags 500m to the town gate than to reverse a rented car 250m with the wing mirrors tickling the walls!
These are tiny cautions — I plan on coming back again and again, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Do it, you'll love it!
