For our travel preferences, this apartment was in a great location. We did not know how touristy Taormina is and we do not like to stay in overly touristic areas. Fortunately for us the apartment is slightly off the beaten path, which allows you access to it but not being drowned by tourists. The apartment has a great balcony overlooking the sea. Very romantic for sunrise breakfast. There was a major storm before we arrived to Taormina and the building was flooded however the apartment was fine. Claudio and Ernesto offered to cancel the booking if we wanted to go to another place. They also left us a small welcome bottle of Prosecco. The apartment fit our needs and we would recommend it.
