Our holiday to Taormina potentially started VERY badly when our Ryanair flight from Rome was cancelled just as we were leaving central Rome for the airport and we had to contact Emanuele to let him know we would be hours late. He immediately responded, said he would pick us up at Catania airport and there he was with a huge smile and a bag of the local dessert speciality to greet us so what began as a travel PAIN became a marvellous experience which saved us major hassles and money too as we didnt have to catch the bus. He gave us an excellent handover, the apartment was as described, leading onto a fabulous private large terrace which then led to the swimming pool ideal for children. Emanuele remained attentive through our stay, eg delivering us extra towels for the beach when requested and responded to a couple of concerns about things within the house in a prompt manner. The location was central and close to everything we wanted and he gave advice about great restaurants. Would definitely stay again.
