Guisy and Giancarlo's apartment is wonderful. It is fairly new, sparkling clean, and accurately portrayed. The bed is very comfortable. The hot water and water pressure are fantastic. It is situated in a neighborhood away from the crowds/tourists in a quiet building. Guisy is a gracious host, always available. There is more to Taormina than Corso Umberto I. Your stay at this apartment provides the opportunity to be part of the community. Listen in the morning for the vegetable truck and the fish truck. They will shout their arrival. It is a movable feast. Walk the ancient stairs/path to Castelmola, if you dare. It starts just down the street. Enjoy a spritz and small bites at the enoteca on a tiny side street from the main drag, Al Grappolo d'Uva (try the Mt. Etna). Enjoy! Paula and Tom
