We loved staying at Paulo's apartment! Paulo picked us up from the train station and talked about Taormina asshe headed to his place, which is a one bedroom with a small kitchen, a nook area, and a balcony. The little touches of home, including adorable cactus decor, made my fiance and I feel comfortable immediately. It is away from the busy tourist streets, but close enough to walk to everything (just three short minutes to get to the main stores and restaurants). We just wish that the weather had been better so that we could have explored more, which just means we will have to come back! We absolutely recommend Paulo's home!
