Forget staying in Taormina. Stay at this property instead. Exceptionally amiable and informative host Coralie and excellent staff make this a great place to stay for Taormina and for the town itself, Siculo - about a 20 minute drive or via bus. Great breakfast with not only good pastries, some home made, but also soft boiled eggs, prosciutto, ham, yogurt etc. Host's recommendations for local restaurants were spot on, and the property is 3 minutes walking to a boardwalk and the (Ioanian) sea. All appliances functioned properly, and the shower had plenty of hot water. Would definitely stay again.
