We loved Francesco's apartment in Taormina. First of all the location is perfect: in the centre but in a very quiet area. Second, the private parking is very useful (specially as we went to Taormina in August and the public parkings were very busy...) Third, the apartment itself is lovely, very spacious and bright, with a big balcony with a view. Fourth, the swimming pool is a great addition, quite big and quiet even in August. Finally, Francesco was very nice and helpful! Taormina in August is definitely a challenge but we loved our stay in Francesco's apartment.
