A lovely apartment, very tastefully furnished and very clean, with a huge balcony giving views of the sea and Taormina. The motorway is visible and audible too but didn't bother us. The walk into town is not especially picturesque but feels perfectly safe and only takes ten minutes. Gabriele was ill when we arrived but had arranged for his father to meet us, while his girlfriend Marta gave us detailed instructions by phone. They obviously go to great trouble to ensure that guests enjoy their stay. Overall, would definitely recommend this place!
