Exceeded expectations!! Yes the shower is compact and hot water is limited (remember to turn the unit on when you arrive and leave it on throughout your stay), but it’s a small price to pay for the outstanding location and the most SPECTACULAR views over Isola Bella. Even better than the pictures! The stairs down to the beach are right next door and the cable car and bus station are both a short, relatively flat walk away. You can also walk into the main part of town from two directions in about 5mins. Reasonably roomy inside the apartment and I love a place with full length mirrors! I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this apartment to solo travellers and couples for a truly memorable stay in Taormina. Be sure to wake at dawn as the sunrises are breathtaking. Also for excellent pasta, book a table at Trattoria Tiramisu 👌🏼
