Luciana's place was perfect for us. We were met by Luciana's brother, who showed us around the appartment and also gave us helpful tips on restaurants and places to visit.
The central location was very convenient for everything and yet was quiet at night. On a couple of occasions over the fortnight we noticed occasional live music from a nearby restaurant/bar, but this stopped at 23:30 and was not a problem at all for us. In any case, it was very faint when the windows were closed.
Everything was very clean, and the flat was decorated with care and furnished with attention to detail. The kitchen was small but very well equipped. The crockery and cutlery were in good condition. Although we did not cook anything, it would have been very easy to do so.
The bathroom had a very good shower with plenty of hot water. We had a small problem with the hot water on one occasion, and this was fixed within half-an-hour. The washing machine was in the bathroom, and was very useful to us. A collapsible drying rack was provided, and there was also an iron and ironing board.
In the lounge area there was a comfortable settee and a nice dining table and chairs. The wifi was very good and we had no problems with the internet connection.
The towels and bed-linen provided were of good quality, and there were plenty of coat hangers in the spacious cupboards in the bedroom. The bed was firm but very comfortable, and there were 4 good pillows. The air conditioning in the bedroom, and also in the lounge, were very effective.
Luciana was an excellent host, and it made a real difference to us to have such good and comfortable accommodation for our holiday. If we visit Taormina again, we would go back to Casa Ulisse without hesitation.
