Luciana is a gracious host. She enthusiastically explained the layout of Taormina and provided us with information restaurants, bakeries, coffee bars, markets,and things to do in the area. She was there waiting for us even though our train was late. She talked to our taxi driver to help us find the apartment - all in all providing a very smooth arrival. The apartment was very nice - clean, roomy and comfortable and has everything you need for a long or short stay. It is location is in the heart of Taormina just a very short walk from good restaurants and a wonderful bakery. I highly recommend Casa Ulisse.
