Great place! The view is stunning, the place very homey/comfortable, and the hosts attentive. Enjoyed it very much and would stay here again. If driving, take Francesco and Lilliana's advice and meet them along the way, much better than trying to find the place by yourself through the winding streets up Taormina. I really like the feel of the apartment, you can tell it was decorated to feel like home, and that it is cared for very well. Would definitely recommend to a friend, and I would also stay there again. Oh, one thing, I read previous reviews about the hill, I have to agree, it IS steep but knowing that we were mentally prepared, and so it was manageable. Also, the driveway is a bit small if you rented an automatic (read: larger) car. Thanks for a great stay!
