This place is GREAT. Clean, stylish, impeccably decorated. About 5 minutes (down MANY stairs, like everything in Taormina) to all the shops, restaurants, and people-watching you could imagine. A view that is breath-taking.
The host is charming, and very friendly. He sat with us for a long time after we arrived to answer all our questions about food, shopping, groceries, gelato...
One thing to clarify: When we set search filters for this stay, we looked for parking and laundry. This site came up, but it does not have either of these on-site. The host was great, and set us up with a valet service that would pick up or deliver the car, with 15 minutes notice, as many times as we wanted, for less money per day than the local parking garage. So, at first we were disappointed, but it turned out to be GREAT. As for laundry, there is a nice little laundromat about 30 meters down the road (no stairs). It's been a long time since we used a coin-op washer, but it was not bad at all.
