Stunning studio on the main street of picturesque Taormina. With the windows open you can enjoy the sunshine, light and lively atmosphere in this beautiful and historic town. The refurbishment has retained traditional design in the Sicilian tiles and classical artwork, but is otherwise is contemporary and modern in style. A gondola will drop you down to the main beach in minutes and the nearby bus terminal connects easily and cost-effectively with Catania airport for Euro 7.50, so you won't need a car unless you want to tour around the area. Being on the main street it is not quiet, but as a city dweller this did not bother me I enjoyed the feeling of being part of the action while sipping a drink at the dining table – and the windows are double-glazed blocking out most of the noise from the street below at night. If you're sensitive to noise you might want to bring ear plugs!
