We had a great stay in Taormina. The apartment is beautiful and very clean. Maria is a great host. We found the location to be perfect, lovely and quiet and easy walking distance to the centre. Yes there are hills but this is just Taormina and we were fine even with 2 small children in tow! The only thing to be aware of is that the small bedroom (with bunks) is open onto the lounge. This was not ideal for our family with small children going to bed early and meant we had to tiptoe around while making food etc although the balcony outside helped. Thank you for a lovely stay Maria.
