The villa was very well located, adjacent to the entrance of Taormina. It's quite a large property, over several floors, and has a courtyard and balconies that overlook the piazza - you also get views of the sea from one of the balconies. Describing the villa as luxurious is probably an exaggeration, as there are a few improvements required from both a maintenance and a furnishing perspective. For example, there's no air conditioning on the ground level, which encompasses the main living area, and it gets hot down there - the bedrooms are however air conditioned.
