Paolo's place is located right next to town. To get to the place you have to walk up an incline on the street and narrow stairs inside...so if you have bad knees/elderly this may not be the place for you. It was a great to burn off some calories after having the delicious Sicilian food and gelato for us. The place was very clean and convenient to the main street in Taormina. The bathroom and kitchenette were modern as well. He even had juice an water in the fridge for us. The bed was very comfortable. We had a great night's sleep. The air conditioning worked very well. Paolo responded to my emails and was very helpful with the transportation. The bus station is about a 20 minute walk through town. He even offered to drop us off at the train station but timings just didn't work out. It is a gem of a place and great value for the money. I would definitely stay at his place again!
