Federica's apartment in Taormina could not have been lovelier. It is large and beautifully furnished with incredible balconies in each bedroom. The beds were very comfortable and the location was perfect. Federica's father was the ultimate host.
Upon entering the city we made the mistake of taking the car into the center of Taormina. We got lost and when I called Armando, he came for us and helped us find the apartment,then took us to the parking destination to leave the car. There is a pubic parking facility in Taormina called the LUMBI. Leave the car there for ten euros per day. You will not need a car in Taormina and the apartment is ideally located yet on a lovely smaller street away from the hordes of tourists that flock into this town. I couldn't think of a better place to stay while there. There is also a small bakery right across the street which will lure you in in the morning with the beautiful pastries. You must visit Cafe Mediterraneo around the corner for a cocktail and the best music in town. Please consider staying in this wonderful apartment while in Taormina. Vincent
