This was my first Airbnb experience and Lucia's apartment was as described by all previous guests, brilliant. A perfect location for visiting the market, historical sites and transport. We decided not to hire a car and having seen the lack of parking we were relieved that we didn't have that stress. Although if you wanted to hire one for a day, it is easy and hiring businesses are close by. Lucia can also arrange for a local driver Paolo to transfer from and to the airport for 60Euros. We felt we were ripped off by a female taxi driver who charged us 15 Euros for a 1 km journey but we should have established the cost first. We also used the train to travel to Taormina for the day which was worth it. The terrace up top with its panoramic view was a great place to sit and hear the hub bub of the town whilst relaxing. We cooked a few meals and the kitchen is well equipped. You are spoilt for choice for restaurants and cafes. Lucia provides suggestions and we tried a couple of them and the meals were superb. We were also very lucky with the weather and although not noted as a beach destination we were able to swim off of a designated platform about 10 minutes away, which was just perfect. The whole experience was a real treat and I can only endorse all the previous positive comments in relation to Lucia and her property.
