To summarize our stay, I must first say that a truly wonderful suite, in what I consider a perfect location in Taormina, was made even better by its tremendous host, Vincenzo.
Communication prior to our stay was fantastic, with very fast response times and thorough answers from Vincenzo. Upon arrival to Taormina, we phoned him and he arrived to meet us in a few short minutes, then gave a very thorough overview and tour of the property and its magnificent rooftop terrace. Vincenzo is outgoing, funny, extremely knowledgeable of the area and its history, and understandably proud of his very lovely property.
We stayed in Suite number 1, which was absolutely beautiful, sparkling clean, roomy, and exactly as pictured in the listing. A huge bonus of this suite is its private balcony, which we made much use of.
The rooftop terrace is a place we loved and already miss very much. We would take away food from local markets or restaurants and eat it on the terrace because of the stunning views of the Ionian Sea, the Roman ruins immediately in front of the property, and the Church of San Pancrazio just a few steps away. In the evening, watching the local activity with a glass of local wine was so entertaining! Pay close attention to the hand-painted tables made of Mt. Etna stone - they are amazing.
Regarding the location, it is a short walk from the bus terminal, the gondola to the beaches, the famous Greek/Roman Theater, and steps away from Porta Messina, one of the two entry points to the Corso Umberto (Taormina's "main" street).
Simply put, the property and its manager exceeded our high expectations in every way.
