Wow, what an incredible gem, right in the heart of Taoromina! Just as the apartment states, the location is truly spectacular. The bustling city core is just outside the door, but the apartment provides the perfect "home base" to come back and relax at. Open the french doors and step on to the balcony to watch the crowds shuffle by or just relax with a glass of wine in your own little piece of heaven. Anita was a pleasure to work with and helped us along the way with any questions or logistics. There's a huge parking structure on the outside of the old city wall, from there it's about a 5 min walk to the apartment through the pedestrian only streets... all quite easy, though I'd suggest having luggage with wheels or at least backpack straps. While there's plenty to do/see in Taoromina, the apartment is also a great springboard to many other adventures without having to touch the car. There are many hikes that take you to neigboring towns and beyond... easy to escape the energized old city when you need a break for a quiet trek. We truly enjoyed our time there and would certainly stay again should our travels take us through Taoromina again in the future. As a side note, Anita is a gifted artist, who's work can be found throughout Taoromina (and beyond). Her beautiful gallery is about 4' from the apartment (side alley). Anita also read/writes/speaks English very well which of course was helpful in our communications before arriving.
