From the first moment we met, random acts of kindness ruled. Our hosts carried our luggage, left little amenities all over the apt including a bowl of citrus from their garden to calling ahead to the restaurant we chose to inform them of our professional status in the food and wine industry. They shared a calendar of evening cultural events that as tourists we would not have known about. The apt has the most stunning views of the Hillside town, the coastal shoreline for miles , historic hilltop ruins to the tram connecting beach to upper roadway. The outdoor deck filled with potted succulents and a comfy table was THE perfect setting for morning coffee and breakfast nibbles also provided for by our hosts. I could not have been more pleased. It is important to note that access to the apt is not for those with mobility issues. There are lots of stairs everywhere. I found it adding to the charm and character. We loved Luisa and Armando’ apt and the town of Taormina. We will return
