We didn't meet Alessandro in person but his mum picked us up. Our stay at the host's place is positive, the place is spacious, nice view and everything like on the picture.
The communication with Alessandro was very smooth and he replies very quickly.
The place is around 20 minutes walk from the centre but considering that driving and parking in Taormina is very difficult, this place is perfect and it's not far from the city finally.
We would definitely recommend this place.
