The apartment in Taormina was far better than expected. We were situated right in the heart of the action.. There is literally hundreds of cafes and restaurants within minutes of the front door including a very cool cocktail bar directly next door. We were there at the end of august which was an extremely busy time of the year however that added to the experience. Eliana and her husband were very helpful with places to go and see as well as helping me with personal matters that needed some local influence.
Can't recommend it more highly.
We will be back..
