Giovanna and Franco’s apartment is fantastic, and they are excellent hosts who not only gave great advice but also picked us up from the train station and made us feel welcome.
The view over Taormina; The Bay of Naxos and Etna is stunning. The apartment is within ten minutes’ walk of Taormina centre (though down about 300 stairs) and has everything needed. Some have commented that it could be cleaner, but to us it felt lived in and homely, germaphobes should stick to hotels.
We wish we were still there.
