About the host
Hosted by Mike
I am originally from Germany but am living in Taormina for many years. Once you come to Taormina you will experience the mystic spirit this place has. Once experienced it's hard to return home so I decided to simply stay in one of the most beautiful places I know.
I degreed in Germany in economics and in engineering and gained my Ph.D. in Austria. I work for many years in the information technology business which gives me the opportunity to work "where my computer is".
Being married to an Italian I love cooking and enjoying life in its best way.
I am looking forward to welcoming you to one of our special places!
