Our family of four was fortunate enough to stay in Mario's apartment during the New Year celebrations.
Mario couldn't have been more helpful, with both his emails prior to our stay, welcoming us to the apartment and suggestions for site seeing to weary travelers.
The apartment is well fitted out, with good kitchenware, laundry facilities and comfortable beds. The location is also great (between the Teatro antico di Taormina and gardens which have lovely views across the water). Parking in Taormina is truly difficult if you aren't a local, yet if you leave your hire car in California Garage on your arrival it makes things so much easier. It's literally minutes from the apartment and only costs 20 euro a day.
Thank you Mario!
