Graziano is a wonderful host - extremely warm and welcoming. The apartment is perfectly located on Corso Umberto. We enjoyed having the balcony doors open and soaking up the atmosphere and noises from the street. It's also a perfect viewing platform for the daily weddings held in the beautiful church across the square. The apartment has been tastefully restored and is the perfect place to stay if you want to be in the heart of Taormina. All the cafes, restaurants and retail shops are outside the door. Also very conveniently located (3 min walk) to a supermarket. It is noisy, so,if you are a light sleeper and go to bed early best you remember some ear plugs! The only reason that we havent given this apartment a full score is because of the noise from the adjacent bar (it can continue until the wee hours of the morning).
