Better than expected! There’s lots of steps so it’s a great workout for all of the amazing food that you will have! The apartment was surrounded by beautiful plants and views. I would have stayed here permanently if it was possible! We took a cooking class with Massimo in the area and it really showed us that we were in the perfect spot. In low season a lot of the restaurants and the lift was shut down. Bring stair climbing shoes if you come on the off season! Would love love love to stay here and see Taormina again!
