“In my opinion, this hotel places you squarely on Corso Umberto, the vibrant heart of Taormina. I see compact rooms, some with balconies, offering essential comfort alongside the undeniable draw of the location. A shared kitchen adds practicality, though the bathroom setup sounds like it could be a bit tight.”
