Ein wunderschöner Urlaub

Wir haben eine Woche in dem Boutique apartment in taormina verbracht und waren sehr glücklich über unsere Auswahl der Unterkunft. Giovanna hat uns herzlich empfangen mit vielen sizilianischen Spezialitäten. Außerdem hat sie uns bei fragen immer gerne weitergeholfen. Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber und mit liebe und viel Geschmack eingerichtet worden. Der kleine Balkon reicht vollkommen aus für einen gemütlichen Abend mit tollem Ausblick aufs Meer. Die Lage ist top und wir werden bestimmt wieder kommen. Vielen Dank dass wir unseren Urlaub in diesem apartment genießen durften!
