Emilia and Carmelo's place is exactly what we were looking for in Taormina - perfect location with the most spectacular views from the terrace and very comfortable inside! The apartment is situated on a bustling street of restaurants making it really fun at nighttime but still off the main street to quiet enough to enjoy a peaceful nights sleep. We particularly enjoyed the restaurant next door called Osteria da Rita although would recommend booking as it got very busy. Emilia was extremely warm and friendly when we met her to check-in, and there was a delicious bottle of sparkling wine chilling in the fridge for us on arrival which was a very thoughtful (and welcome!) touch. Carmelo kept in touch throughout our stay and offered advice/recommendations for restaurants and activities in Taormina and nearby. Both were excellent hosts and the apartment was as it looks in it's pictures - very cosy and vibrant and sandwiched between views of the ancient Greek Theatre on one side and Mount Etna on the other which is quite spectacular on a clear day. It's worth noting that parking is quite tricky throughout Sicily and there isn't anywhere to park for free on the streets in Taormina so we stayed in Porta Catania (as recommended by Emilia) which was 17 Euros for 24hours. All in all, it was a beautiful stay and we would definitely recommend to friends!
