We, five Norwegians in our 50's, loved our 7 night stay at the Maggio apartment. Check in an check out was friendly and professional, the apartment was clean, inviting and spacious, and the balcony and the view is amazing. We also enjoyed the great hospitality of Angelo and his staff at Licchio's, perfectly situated at the start of the main street in Taormina. We left our rental in the convinient (optional) parking, and did not use the car during our stay. The 10-15 minute walk to Messina Gate is not very challenging, and about half way there you will find a small store selling food, water, wine and beer. We will certainly look for availability of this apartment if we return to Taormina.
