Claudio is a warm kind man, and a thoughtful host. Not only did he wait for us for 2 hrs because we were late due to taking a mountain road covered in snow, but he left a small bottle of Prosecco in the fridge for my girlfriend as it was her birthday. We also felt that if we needed anything he was quick and effecient, and helpful with advice about our stay.
The flat itself is a no brainer! Amazing location tucked away - so its quiet - but a 30 second walk to the main Street in Taormina, down two flights of stairs. If you have a car you can either park off the road which is no more than 30ft away from Claudio's flat or there is a few 24hr carparks which cost roughly 22 euros for 48 hrs or 14 euros for 24 hrs.
Claudio's flat has everything you need and was very clean and tidy with a lovely small balcony that you can sit out on a sunny day, drink a coffee and look at the sea :D
For the money, I would not hesitate to recommend staying at his flat.
