My mother and I stopped in apartments of Lucia within 10 days. Apartments are magnificent. In them there is everything that is necessary for comfortable rest. Besides, the beautiful view of a volcano Etna and the lower part of the city (Taormina Bassa/Mare) where beaches are located are opened from a balcony. Near the house there is a small supermarket where it is possible to buy essentials. It is possible to reach the main city street Corso Umberto on foot in 10 minutes (especially if to use a stairs between houses).
Within walking distance of apartments Teatro Antico di Taormina is located where in August the season is opened and it is possible to look at interesting performances. We, for example, have listened to the opera Tosca which was very much pleasant to us. We recommend all to visit this Teatro.
Also, having passed the Corso Umberto street, you get to the area where it is possible to buy tickets or for a sightseeing tour, or for sea cruise on volcanic islands (by the way, it is very interesting trip, especially we had liked Panarea and Stromboli islands).
By the way, on the way to the Corso Umberto street there is a good restaurant of Tiramisu where cook very well, but it is better to reserve a table in the evening in advance.
Taormina is the beautiful city, and we recommend apartments of Lucia to all who plan to have a rest in this city.

Natalia.
