We stayed here in August for 3 nights. The apartment is spacious, comfortable and homely, with a large outside, relatively secluded, terrace where we sat in the evenings enjoying the lovely views in peace and quiet. If you drive to this apartment the road down to it is steep and narrow, not for the faint-hearted, but when you reach the end of the road there is a very large flat parking area. You can walk into Taormina town via a path which is wide, and well-maintained and is lit at night. It takes about 15 minutes to walk down to the town centre which was lovely particularly in the evenings with lots of great restaurants, bars and shops - a bit longer to walk back, as it is all uphill - you do need to be reasonably fit to do this walk. Also from the town you can get a cable car down to the beach. From the apartment it is about 1 1/2 hours drive to Mt Etna which is an excellent day out! This apartment/Villa is a lovely haven of peace and quiet in a beautiful area of Sicily.
