Giovanni and Elena’s place is excellent value for money. Taormina is an expensive location and this is a bargain. The Airbnb provides a lot of space, basic amenities and to die for views of Isola Bella. The pool is very relaxing and provides a nice escape from other tourists. Everything was easy and they were very flexible with the whole check-in/check-out process.
There were a lot of stairs so be ready for that so I would personally recommend the cable car to get up to the city which costs about €3 and either a taxi or walk to the beach but it’s worth it for the views from the room.
