Roberto was a wonderful host. He was generous and kind and very accommodating. He even offered to help carry luggage out for us!
The view of Mt Etna was truly beautiful each morning and evening, and was a great way to start and end the day. The walk to the apartment is a little uphill, so if you're bringing a stroller, be prepared for a workout. However, downhill is definitely manageable :-).
It is very easy to get to the main shopping part of Taormina from the apartment, so it's a great location. Parking is better by this apartment than down by the main street, so that's a huge plus. There's also a little bakery and a small market within walking distance. It's also quite quiet, so you have peace after a busy day around the city.
