Loredana was a gracious hosts. Her daughter spoke good english and translated for us. I can't say enough about the house. The pictures dont do it justice. The view is fantastic and a 10 minute bus ride takes you to upper Taormina. Loredana also left us juice, coffee, tea, and biscuits for breakfast and pasta for a first dinner. My only complaint is the beds were a little hard but forgivable given the great view and location. Will definately stay here again.
