I enjoyed my stay with Maria Ausilia very much. It was an opportunity to stay in an authentic Sicilian home while being very close to all that is happening in Taormina. I felt very welcome and appreciated her effort to communicate in English, since I have no Italian or Sicilian. The home is very clean and comfortable and the coffee is superb. Grazie mille.
( By the way, although the tourist information office directed me there via lots of steps, I discovered later that there is a much easier alternative with very few steps)
