Good location to visit Taormina and the amazing Etna from! Also a nice restaurant was nearby in the same street with great pizza's and pasta's :) The studio is neat en big enough to host two adults and a toddler (1,5 year old) and we even cooked a wonderful pasta. The roof terrace is a great asset! The beach was quiet and you need water shoes (there are pebble-stones instead of sand), so we did not spend a lot of time there but plenty of other trips to make in the area. We were here for 4 nights. Minor points were that the beds were actually bunk beds and quite hard so we did not sleep too well (we prefer soft mattresses), and it did not smell so nice in the bathroom, but with the bathroom window open and the door to the sleeping area shut you were not bothered by this at all. Arturo and Tatjana are wonderful hosts and we had a nice stay!
