This apartment is right in the center of the old historic city center. There is a sneaking view of the sea and the multiple patios are wonderfully relaxing along with a glass of Benanti wine (local MT Etna wine). Everything you want to do, see or eat is steps away. The Flat had a well equipped kitchen, though I dare say we only used it for breakfast. The living space was spacious, well-appointed and tastefully decorated. Wonderful shopping if you dare, but superb hikes up to the cross and down to the beaches of Taormina. We went to MT Etna one day and loved the hike through the lava fields. MT Etna gave us a show, spewing and making a lot of noise. I do recommend the 4 hr hike, not difficult and the guided hike takes you to big, but distant views of the crater. Accessing the property was very easy and the property manager communicated where to park and how to locate the flat. All flawless. The description and pictures accurately reflect the Flat. Though it was much better in person. Thanks for a memorable stay Taormina and Sicily
