I'm always suspicious of reviews that are 100% good (or bad) but in this case all these great reviews are entirely justified. The flat was better than expected, the location was better than expected and the host Claudio was more helpful than expected. He even called to remind me of Italy moving to summer time so I wouldn't oversleep and miss my flight. Taormina is a great town, but the flat was definitely the highlight. I spent hours sitting out on the flat simply enjoying the view.
