We stayed for 4 nights mid-August and can not rate the apartment highly enough! It is beautifully kept, spacious and airy. The terraces are lovely coming off each room and the blinds and air conditioning made the rooms prefect to sleep in even at the height of summer.
We were four adults and two children and the space was perfect for us.
Federica was great at communicating before our stay and arranged a taxi to pick us up from the airport. Amando was waiting to meet us as we arrived and helped with bags etc. and was really helpful explaining everything we needed to know. He was also able to arrange a taxi to pick us up at the end of our stay and take us to the car hire office.
The area is well located for the amphitheatre and the Main Street as well as bus stops for trips to Etna and the Islands. Despite being literally just behind the Main Street it was quiet and beautiful, a real haven after busy days sight seeing.
Would second the previous reviews - try the cherry tart at the bakers across the road and the orange croissants. The mini market opposite is great for water and other essentials and open most of the time.
All in all an amazing trip and a fantastic apartment. Stay here if you go to Taormina - we will certainly be back!!!
