We were met by a friend of the host at a convenient spot in Taormina. He escorted us up the hill to the house and showed us around and answered all of our questions. The host was very easy to communicate by email and he helped our guest deal with lost luggage. The house is on top of a hill overlooking Taormina and the ocean. From the bedroom and the deck you have beautiful views of the ocean. The house is very large and has a good size kitchen, decent wifi and excellent air conditioning. The house is a 15 minute walk (up hill ) from the town. This means that it is quiet at night and we liked getting away from the touristy part of Taormina. The rooms have blinds that block out light and allow for a good night sleep. We enjoyed our stay.
