Superb location with seafront view. Quiet and safe area with many shops and local restaurants. Supermarket and farmacia right across the street. 5 minute walk from train station (where there’s always taxis). Very good pastry shop and fruit shop too. Nice boardwalk to stroll on. Many little souvenir shops and beach gear. Excursion offers are plentiful at the Marina which is a nice walk there. Only 7 minutes by car/taxi to Taormina (15 to 20 euros). We rented a scooter in Taormina and travelled the coast and also went to Via Grande for wine tasting at Benati Winery. Great and memorable experience. Went on an individual basis as we didn’t want a bus load of tourists for a wine tasting. This winery is top notch professional and classy. Wines are wonderful and food awesome . Well worth the money. Back to the apartment, wonderfully decorated and nicely appointed. The 2 bathrooms are super clean and felt brand new. AC was very good (3 units). - condo size fridge and small but convenient freezer. The clothes washer was a big plus. Plenty of storage place. Bed in master was very comfortable, enough pillows, blankets etc. A couple of essentials for cooking (olive oil, salt, pepper, balsamic etc.) nice tv’s but we didn’t end up watching at all. The flat is located on the 3rd floor but unless you are physically challenged that shouldn’t stop you as the view is breathtaking. The balcony was equipped with two bistros tables and 4 chairs. We enjoyed it daily. At night, the road is very quiet and the view of Taormina is beautiful. Check in process was easy and Antonio was very helpful explaining everything and offered great tips for the area. This is a hidden gem and hopefully concurring guests will enjoy it as much as we did.
