Like most other guests stated before, the view from inside the apartment and from the terrace is really stunning. The terrace is bigger than the apartment, which has everything you need and is surprisingly quiet, and super clean to the last angle! There is a big double-bed with a very good mattress, and a sleeping sofa. With all the huge windows this roof apartment warms up quickly but it has air-condition. I was there in April and didn´t need to switch it on. When it was cold outside, it was nicely warm inside. The neighbourhood is still authentic, you can watch old neighbours water their flowers, feed their cats or hang their laundry... Donatella is a wonderful person who was always superquick to answer all my questions, and helped me out when I arrived with the last train at Taormina station and there was no taxi around anymore... Thanks again, Donatella :) The apartment is literally 3 minutes walking from the bus station, and around 6 min from Porta Messina, the entrance to the historical city centre. I was surprised how bad the traffic was outside the historical centre, but it´s also due to lots of tourists who think it´s a good idea to rent a car, although Italy has a very convenient (and very cheap) bus & train system. Be careful a bit when walking around; the Italians know how to drive carefully – it´s the tourists who often get lost and make strange driving mistakes. All in all, Donatella´s place is a real oasis of peace and highly recommendable!
