Beautiful place, great pool. Beautiful view, peaceful environment. In 15 minutes you can walk down to the sea, it seems longer but there are stairs and it's a good walk down. You can also walk to the centre of Taormina or to the cable car without any problems. The flat we had was nice, renovated, only the bed needs to be changed and a slight sewer smell problem needs to be solved. Overall we were fine, although the place and the price paid deserve a bit more (better beds and pillows).
