The room is simple with a pleasant design and there is a little seating area in front outdoors. The bathroom is not exactly new, but functional. The common areas are phenomenal! The whole residence area displays beautiful plants from lemon trees to vine to a wonderfully curated selection of cacti. The view is breathtaking, you can see the Isola Bella and when taking your breakfast enjoy the view of the Mazzaro Bay. The staff was utterly friendly, welcoming and helpful in every regard. From the residence you can walk down to the beach or go the cable car which will take you up to the enchanting town of Taormina. One way with the cable car costs 3 EUR. Most Italians here (unlike elsewhere) will speak English since it is a very popular destination among tourists. Enjoy, relax, explore! ;-)
