Taromina, Italy?

['Guest']

Does anyone have any good info about this town?  Or, about the hostel there?

The Italian road builders made a tunnel for the Autostrada; right under the town, so Taormina’s thousands of years of existence continues, completely undisturbed by the needs of modern transportation. We drove up the narrow switch back road to Taormina, and fell in love with the place. Emmy immediately wanted to stay for an extra day or two.

At a church situated along Corso Umberto (main street), the lovely bride in a traditional white gown was greeted by a crowd that undoubtedly included more tourists and gawkers, than friends and acquaintances.

As at many ancient theaters, in the summertime classical plays are given in the Teatro Greco. With its location high on the edge of a 700 foot cliff overlooking the Mar Ionio (Ionian Sea), we don’t remember any we have seen in several countries that is situated with such a fabulous view, and whose perspective compares. With the Sea far below, with snow capped Mt. Etna silently smoking in the distance high above the stage, this is a genuinely exhilarating site.
============
Taormina is a captivating tourist town, very clean, picturesque, with plenty of places to spend our money.

Don’t mean this to be an advertisement, but these are quotes from our Book, <advertisement removed by administrator>

We have visited Sicily two different years, but since we always travel by RV, I can’t give information about places to stay, and if you travel by RV, you don’t need that kind of information anyway.

But whatever you do, don’t miss Siracusa, a few miles south of Taormina. About the most fascinating, almost unkown ancient city, with outstanding ruins from thousands of years ago, that you can find in Europe.

There is also an independant hostel called Taoromina's Odyssey. It's a house with 5 rooms and you can choose from a double, an 8 share dorm or a 10 share dorm. It has a kitchen as well.

Dorms are about $13 US and doubles $41 US.

I can't find a webpage for them but there are 4 pictures on the online booking system I use:
