First of all, Daniela is a exceptional hostess. She answered really quick and gave us very helpfull tips for traveling and sightseeing. She even picked us up in Taormina and drived us back to the apartment, when we made a daytrip to Taormina (it corresponded with her working schedule). All her family is very kind and helpful. Her uncle was really wonderful to us and gifted us with fresh cookies from his bar and the breakfast was great. The apartment is directly with view to the ocean. Near the front of the house is the only street from and to Taormina and Catania, so it can sometimes be really busy. Since the bedroom is on the backside of the building, you can sleep in quiet and peace. We only stayed for 3 days. If we would have stayed longer, a kitchen would have been nice. So it was absolutely ok for the short stay. I can highly recommend the apartment and Daniela as hostess. We felt very welcomed.
