Lorenzo's apartment is great - just as the photos suggest. It has a great view overlooking the sea and you can also see the pool. What you don't see in the photos is that it is right next to the busy highway so there is traffic noise to accompany the crickets! Once we got used to it this did not detract from our stay in any way - the view was worth it! Staying in august was a busy time and expensive. The pool is beautiful but because it was so busy it was hard to get a bed in the shade sometimes as most people in the bigger newer apartments right next to the pool put their towels out early to reserve their seats! Can't blame them really. The location of the apartment is fantastic - just a few minutes walk to the centre and to the cable car if visiting the beach. We had a very relaxing stay indeed. Valeria and Lorenzo were extremely kind and helpful. We loved Taormina!
