Carmellos loft apartment was just a delight - we stayed for 7 nights. It is in the heart of old town Taormina close to lots of restaurants and shops but high up enough to not feel part of the hustle and bustle (except for the musicians who tour the restaurants singing the same songs every night! :)) the apartment is simple and cosy and has a great vibe. We especially loved the outdoor balcony with views of the ocean. So nice to be able to sit and eat your meals and feel like you are on a beach holiday.
The apartment is close to a small grocery store where we bought most of our groceries, a father and son own the store which has lovely produce and all most things you need - but there is also a bigger supermarket (Simply Mart) about 15 mins walk away if you prefer to do a larger shop.
Carmello and his mum were lovely hosts and Carmello was available and prompt to any request we had.
The bus is approx 10 minute walk from apartment and runs a great regular service to the local beaches down below.
Bed was comfortable and the apartment had everything needed for a great stay.
