“What stands out here is the location, a sweet spot in Taormina that places you steps from the bus station for jaunts to Syracuse or Mount Etna, while also keeping the main street, beaches, and funicular within easy reach. I particularly like the rooms with kitchenettes and balconies; the combination of self-sufficiency and views makes for a memorable Sicilian stay.”
