Totally recommend Casa Lucia, can't beat the location, close to Porta Messina that means right on Corso Umberto but close to the bus stop for the LUMBI parking and close to the funicular to the lower part of town (beach, isola Bella).
Daniela was supernice! Helpful before our stay by giving us all the info we needed to safely reach the apartment. Kind to have us find cold water and fruit when we arrived, besides dedicating us all the attention giving us tips on the town.
Be aware of the three flight of stairs, they are quite steep.
The house is small and cozy best for a couple with at most a couple of kids (like us).
Thanks to Casa Lucia we had a great stay in Taormina!
