What a gem this place, and its host/owner Maurizio are! First impressions started when we got well and truly lost approaching the apartment on the twisty, crowded, often one way streets of the city. We called Maurizio and he zipped over on his scooter to rescue us and lead the way to the apartment. Our hero! Up a few steps draped with flowers, he showed us into the spacious, well appointed flat, with everything you could need for a terrific visit in Taormina—including gorgeous views. The location can’t be beat. Right across the street from the cable car that takes you to the beach, a short walk from a bus stop for other excursions and just down the bend—two minute jaunt—from the historic, bustling “main drag” in town. Maurizio was the perfect host, always available for help with anything or recommendations. A perfect home away from home.
