The apartment is wonderfully located in Castelmola, which is a great base for visiting Taormina. There are two walks down from the town: one that is truly scenic that takes about 40 mins (and brings you via the Madonna Della Rocca) , the other is only 25 mins and, though steep, brings you right into the heart of town. The buses up to Castelmola ran every evening back up to the mountain on the hour or so and were very handy. Castelmola is worth a visit anyway, with a beautiful piazza and a wonderful Bar Turisi and Gelateria next to the apartment. The apartment has two delightful balconies, from the kitchen and the master bedroom. The AC is perfect for keeping cool. The kitchen and bathroom were well-equipped with all we needed. The apartment was also superbly clean. Thanks so much !
