We really enjoyed staying in Francesca's apartment, she was extremely helpful with any questions we had. We spent many an enjoyable hour on the patio overlooking the Mediterranean, even seeing a pod of dolphins one day. It was a great location and close to all amenities and the town. Marco, her brother-in-law who looks after the place for her was extremely helpful as was his wife Louisa, who has an amazing cooking school. The friendliness and helpfulness of Marco, Louisa and pretty well everyone we came across has left us with very fond memories of Taormina and Sicily. We highly recommend Francesca's apartment - we were there a month and loved it!
