This gorgeous apartment in the hills of Taormina is a hidden gem. Wow! Talk about a Sicilian paradise. We were me on the street by Gianfranco who directed our car through the gated entrance. We had the whole thing to ourselves, from the fabulous and huge roof top deck, serene garden terrace and sparkling apartment. The location was suberb and as other reviewers noted, life in little city was steps (well actually several stairways) down the hill. As for the living space, I can't say more about the beauty and thoughtfulness put into every touch. The bedroom was stunning and comfortable. We had a KING sized bed....a rarity in Italy, comfortable living room and a well appointed kitchen with everything you needed to stay. Our host, Gianfranco, was so gracious and super helpful. He provided us a with plenty of suggestions and his communication skills were top notch. No wonder he is a super host! This is a super place. If you are looking for a beautiful and luxurious place to stretch out, the Gianfranco's place fits the bill.
