Really nice, clean villa with amazing views. Of course the walk to the villa is steep but if you want an exceptional view you have to expect that. We found some short cuts into town. Also there is a market off the alley by the church which sells fruit and veg, meats and fish daily. Off season, Taorimina is pretty quiet. It would be interesting to see the city at a different time of the year. Great public transportation to other areas of Sicily. A great experience with great hosts.
