Gabriele's b&b has the most amazing views! We were given the room at the top of the building with balcony views in pretty much all directions, including spectacular views of Mt Etna! The room was spotless, bed comfortable and room cleaned/towels changed every morning. The b&b is situated right at the top of Taormina, with the walk into the centre possible by taking many, many steps down. We're fairly young with good fitness and could get to town in 10-15mins and the return in around 20-25mins. The walk is absolutely worth it though as the views over Taormina are amazing. Those with poor levels of fitness may struggle with the steps but I believe there is a bus stop very close to the b&b. Gabriele was very friendly and couldn't have been more helpful. Breakfast was good each morning, mostly packaged cakes and breads but also fresh fruit and juice, with yogurts and cereal also available. Gabriele made the extra effort of making some ham toasties (minus the cheese) for my girlfriend who is lactose intolerant. Overall an excellent stay and would definitely recommend to others!
