Great stay at Gianfranco’s for our first time in Taormina. Ornella was great at check in and very helpful to get us there and walk us through the apartment. The view and the terrace are incredible, we had a great time just watching the boats and seeing Calabria across the way. The night time was spectacular and very private. The sunrise was also just amazing, and seen right from bed. There is a very steep driveway to walk up/down. You can walk down and walk down a path to get to the beach, or walk up a LOT of stairs to get to town and take the tram down and back. The location is great for both town and beach access. My only downside was the bed was very uncomfortable for me.
