We loved staying at Rachele's charming apartment that is beautifully decorated and provides everything one could possibly need for comfort and convenience. Rachele is a wonderful host providing extensive information on the apartment, the town, restaurants, etc.
The apartment is perfectly situated by using the stair steps adjacent to the apartment you can walk all around Taormina. There are an abundance of restaurants-two most memorable were Babilonia & Osteria Nero D'Avola.
We especially enjoyed a walk to the top of Castlemola, a performance at the ancient Greek amphitheater, an opera at San Giorgio, and taking the cable car to Mazzaro & Isola Bella. For the beach, we took Rachele's recommendation to use the shuttle and Lido for Paradise Beach Club at Letiojanni. An excursion to the Baroque city of Noto is well worth the drive.
And lastly, a special thanks to Rachele for attending to every detail to make sure we enjoyed our stay in Taormina.
