We stayed for 5 nights at Casa Lucia, and it was a wonderful experience. This property is one of the most "special" places we have ever stayed anywhere, regardless cost. We were met by "Pappa" Antonio who instantly made us feel like one of the Family! He straight away poured us some nice cold mineral water, and we noticed that there was also complimentary Juice, Fresh Lavazza Coffee and even a cold beer to get us off to a good start!

Taormina is a stunningly picturesque town. Every building, every balcony is worthy of your eyes, and you will take ALOT of pictures because it is just So beautiful! The town is quite high up, so you can see the sea from many places, including Casa Lucia! The views from the Apartment are quite stunning. The location is Super Central, and very close to the Park&Ride Bus stop from the "Lumbi" multi-storey Car Park which is essential to use, and quite reasonable (by european standards) if you leave it in there for a few days (recommended).

You can pop down to the famous Isola Bella Beach in a few minutes by Cable Car (nearby), or walk down in about 20 mins

The Kitchen is fully functional, and the Bedroom and Bathroom are spacious. Bed was comfy. The Kitchen has everything you will need!!!
Oilve Oil, Salt, Sugar, Fresh Coffee, all pots and pans, dishes etc.

Overall we were a bit disappointed with the restaurants in Taormina (and Sicily generally) Sorry!!! We live in Central London, so we are spoiled....

Thankfully, the Restaurant that is owned by Pappa Antonio was good!
It is called "Myle" and is nearby. Everybody staying at Casa Lucia gets 15% off food and drink, which was a bonus! We really enjoyed the Pizza's and Salads there. The house wine is from their own Vineyards, and is excellent and good value. Go for their Fancy white!

The other really good food experience in Taormina is thankfully just across from Myle! It is called "BamBar" Its Desserts and Coffee/Tea only, but believe me you will go more than once..... The regional speciality is a kind of liquid sorbet called "Granite" known as "Granita" outside Italy. The flavours are just incredible! Do NOT order granita anywhere else though, you will be disappointed. For very good Gelato, go to GelatoMania by Porto Messina (within view of Casa Lucia Balcony)

A visit to the Greek Amphitheatre is a must!

Casa Lucia will make you feel special!!!!!
Thank You again Daniela and Pappa Antonio! (Mamma Too!!)
We will be back someday........
XOXOXO
