If you can do without the amenities of a traditional European hotel, we recommend staying in one of the city’s many Airbnb’s. If you’re not familiar with Airbnb, its an operating platform available around the world where owners offer short term rentals directly to the guests. You can rent an entire apartment, or a private room in a shared residence.

Advantages of Airbnb
Space – Although European hotels are great, one of the biggest complaints is the limited amount of space that’s often provided. With Airbnb, you will most likely have the entire apartment, so space isn’t an issue
Price – As you’ll see, these apartments are very inexpesive when compared to luxury hotels. Using airbnb is a great way to save money when traveling to Taormina Location – These apartments are all in the middle of the city, so there’s no reason to worry about a long walk or cab fair when venturing out
Feeling – When staying at these wonderful airbnbs, you’ll be able to gett a better feeling for how the locals live, because you’re living where the locals live! In my experience this is a great way to absorb another culture.
