Francesco was a very welcoming host, who went out of his way to help us. (Liliana was busy with a new baby!) The apartment was stylish, spacious, well equipped and immaculately clean. We enjoyed breakfasts sitting on the balcony looking at the sea, and were happy to be in a quiet hilltop neighbourhood away from the crowds of tourists in centralTaormina. Even though it was a stiff climb up from the beach, we preferred this to venturing out in the car.
Our only reservation was about Taormina itself, which was spoiled by the emphasis on tourism.
