This apartment offers the best of both worlds in Sicily – a spectacular vista while still being right in the thick of things. It’s situated in the heart of Taormina, so there won’t be any shortages of things to do – restaurants, bars and arancini vendors abound here. The apartment itself boasts a small terrace, perfect for admiring the surroundings with a cold beverage in hand. And while the kitchen is on the smaller side – and two guests will be sleeping next to it, with a small divider separating the two spaces – the views and location more than make up for it here.

Home truths
You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
The first bedroom is separated by a small divider from the living space, so privacy is lacking here. The second bedroom is accessed by the spiral staircase leading downstairs, and lacks natural light.
This home is on the first floor with no lift access, and internal stairs in the apartment. It may not be suitable for those with limited mobility.
Parking in Taormina can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
