Claudio’s apartment is a spectacular place to stay in Taormina. It could not be closer to the main thoroughfare, yet it is a quiet spot to relax and take in the extraordinary views from the deck - both Mount Etna & the sea (and Claudio’s beautiful gardens). The grocery store is a five minute walk, so it’s easy to pick up essentials. Having a place to park cannot be underrated in a city like Taormina. Claudio is a gracious and helpful host who will go out of his way to help.
