We were warmly welcomed by Toni's mum, who showed us around the home. We were offered some water, which was very welcome as the day was so hot. And when we were going out a short time later, our water bottles were filled up to make sure we had some for our bus journey.

Breakfast was a super affair, there was plenty of good food, and fresh coffee. But mostly we enjoyed the company and conversation.

I needed advice about the local bus service and where to eat, and Tony was quick to email suggestions including google map links.

The bus stop that we needed to get to the centre of Taormina is only a short walk from the home, which is a bonus.

Overall, a warm and friendly home to spend time in.
