We recently stayed in Claudio's apartment on a recent trip to Taormina in Sicily. The apartment is EXACTLY as pictured, the views are stunning! The apartment that we stayed in was very spacious & extremely clean. Claudio is a terrific host, lots of info provided, nothing ever too much trouble, he even got us a DVD player, tnx Claudio. Claudio's apartment is also just a short 5 minute walk into the heart of Taormina, there is a supermarket just down the road, very handy, they sell wine & beer too :-) & there are lots of restaurants everywhere. We would highly recommend you stay @ Claudio's if you are ever lucky enough to visit this beautiful part of Sicily. Sheena & Rod Sillitoe
