Alessandro, his family and their apartment made for a wonderful stay in the beautiful town of Taormina. Alessandro responded to messages very promptly and was very kind to meet us near the town to escort us up to the apartment at the top of the hill. The streets are quite steep in this area so knowing where to drive was a bonus. The parking was free out on the street in front of their house. The apartment was very clean, light and spacious, the kitchen was super and included a washing machine. We had a great stay and would recommend it as a base for anyone driving around Sicily.
