You have to start with the view. It is incomparable, stunning, you name the adjective. That alone is worth it.
The apartment is basically what you expect. It would be good for a small family. The kitchen was a bit small, but you won't want to hang out there too much with the table on the deck calling your name.
Emanuel was great at check-in, responding to messages and getting us pointed in the right direction with the twisted turns of the Taormina roads. Very responsive to a random issue with the TV and said he would look into an issue with an odor in the bathroom when we left. Can't fault him at all for that; I'm sure he will take care of it.
I would definitely stay there again.
