Frederico’s home is about a ten minute walk from the centre of beautiful Taormina. That is very fortunate as it meant free parking which is SO expensive otherwise. We did have to pay for one day (13 euros) when we lost our place having taken the car to Mount Etna (awesome). It is January so understandably colder than usual. There is little heating in the house (which is very spacious) but we managed moving the heater around and Frederico very generously bought a quilt before we arrived as he said it was colder than usual. In the mornings it was lovely to be able to sit out on the large patio in the sun. It was warm! The view of the sea is really lovely.
Frederico communicated very quickly and helpfully to all our requests. He recommended restaurants (unfortunately a couple were closed because it was out of season) but Tischi Toschi was open and was great. We went twice. The food was delicious (and they brought free tasters) and welcomed our dog so generously, feeding her food that we would have eaten!
