Lu's place is a great value in the expensive city of Taormina. The apartment is clean and well decorated. It offers easy access to both the city (about a 10-15 minute walk up stairs) as well as the beach (about a 15 minute walk down a hill). For tall travelers, you may end up hitting your head a few times while showering as the ceiling in the bathroom is low in parts; however, this was definitely not a deal-breaker. We did not take advantage of the pool area due to rainy weather, but it looked beautiful and well maintained. The bed was comfortable with clean linens.
It was nice having the Nespresso machine in the apartment as the apartment is in a quiet residential area without cafes immediately available. Finally- Lu and her team were extremely attentive hosts who made us feel very welcome and provided great tips on local restaurants and bars. They went out of their way to help us store our luggage for the day after we had checked out which was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend a stay here while exploring Taormina!
