The photos do not do the apartment justice, both the room and the bathroom were clean and surprisingly spacious. The room does get hot, but the aircon works perfectly. The view is fantastic, and the stairs to the room help you feel less guilty about all the cannoli you're going to eat in Taormina (the ones from Robertos were the best!). Giovanna and her husband were great hosts, I would recommend staying with them and trying her husbands restaurant!
