We highly recommend Paola's apartment. The location is just perfect: there's a beautiful view of Etna and Giardini Naxos bay from the terrace, it's even more stunning than the pictures show. Besides, the apartment is just 3 minutes on foot from the main Taormina street (which is quite touristic and crowded), but the location is still quiet and allow you for undisturbed relax :) The terrace is the major benefit of the apartment, it's huge and very well-equipped (there is sofa, bench, few tables, chairs and even a hammock!). Eating breakfast on the terrace or relaxing in the evening and looking at the lights of the bay - it's just awesome.
The apartment itself is on the roof of the big house and its size is sufficient for a couple (besides I can guarantee you that you will spend most of your time on the terrace). There is a room with a sofa-bed, table and TV, kitchenette with small fridge, two burners, kettle, microwave and dishes. Bathroom with a shower looks quite new. The whole apartment was clean and well maintained.
Wifi was okay, it worked better inside the apartment than on the terrace though.
It can get hot in the apartment on sunny days, fortunately there is air conditioning which works great - big advantage!
Paola's parents, who live on the floor below, were so kind for us. They welcomed us with a wine and ice cream and even bring some snacks on next days. We can only say: Thank you for your hospitality and making us feel at home, we can't wait to visit beautiful Taormina and stay in your apartment next time!
