My wife and I visited Taormina in late September. Excellent communication with the owner and she was kind enough to get us picked up from the bus station. The apartment is 2 minutes walk away from the main area, although it's an uphill walk from town, the view from the balcony over looking the coast and mount Etna makes up for it. The apartment is new and was clean, perfect size for couples and the kitchen is well equipped. There is also a bakery 20 meters away where you can get fantastic bread for breakfast. Highly recommended!
