Our stay at Gianfranco's house was amazing. The view from the spacious balcony was spectacular, and Gianfranco was very helpful with local tips and met us during check in. We had a great time in Taormina and his recommendations were greatly appreciated. The beach is a nice walk down, but recommended to get the cable car back up as the area has a lot of hills! We had a lovely time and hope to be back soon.
