We loved Taormina. Sakiko was very welcoming and friendly. Her place was nice, the views were beautiful and her father's collection of antique furniture and decor was very unique - from China, Japan, Italy, and India and more. We walked down many steps to get into the town but it was doable in 10-15min or so and nice to cut through the neighbourhood and avoid the streets. Thanks Sakiko for the delicious local lemon!
