This was a wonderful, more traditional, comfortable and safe place to stay in Taormina. We visited with 2 of our teenage children aged 12 and 14 ie 4 of us. Taormina is a lovely place to visit and Lucia’s place was great. The view was amazing and we loved sitting on the balcony looking out at the sea and Mt Etna. It is up the hill so you need to be comfortable walking up and down a lot of hills.
The hostess left some Sicilian treats and wine for us to enjoy and also put us in touch with someone who took us mountain biking (and a little caving) on Mt Etna. That was an exciting adventure!
We ate out at local restaurants and cooked meals in the kitchen as there was a medium sized supermarket a short walk away. There was a small coffee machine but no microwave. A world famous cannoli patisserie is down the hill - yum.
The wifi worked perfectly, also the washing machine, and we had good hot water for showers. The shower spaces are both small so may not be great for larger people.
Driving and parking in Taormina can be stressful due to the steep narrow roads but the multi storey parking that was offsite was OK and about a 10 minute walk away.
