Taormina and Eastern Sicily, Sicily, Italy
A spacious and elegant property within walking distance to lively Taormina and the beaches below, the villa has lovely terraces, contemporary interiors and a beautiful pool with uninterrupted sea views
This elegant, spacious villa with its lush terraced gardens is set over three levels with magnificent easterly views from all levels over the dramatic coast and beaches with the Italian mainland clearly visible on the horizon. The uppermost floor features the main open plan living spaces, complete with a bespoke kitchen area, open plan dining, sitting area and a separate bathroom. Leading out from the dining area, a shaded terrace has seating and an outdoor table for 10 people with barbecue. Off the living area, the panoramic terrace is furnished with outdoor sofas for relaxation in the sun with umbrellas. The master bedroom with furnished terrace and shower room en suite is set on the middle level, with two further double bedrooms. The doubles share a large bathroom with bath, walk in shower and sea views. The spacious lower floor is also decorated in contemporary style, and benefits from a light open plan space with a kitchenette, dining area, seating and TV. At the other end of the lower floor, there’s a double bedroom (can be twin) with a shower room. Below the gardens and gorgeous terraces of the lower ground floor is the infinity pool with pool house with WC and reached by steps from the villa. Parking for up to 4 cars is available below the pool level and there are entrances from both the top and bottom of the villa gardens.
This elegant property is set just off one of the roads that leads to one of the main entrances of Taormina and it is just a 10-minute walk to the boutiques of Corso Umberto and to the centre of this picturesque town – and the Greek theatre, cable car to the beach and bus station. A stepped path near to the lower entrance of the villa leads down to the beach and the two magnificent bays of Mazzarò and Isola Bella with further shops and restaurants. Guests can also enjoy swimming, scuba diving, sailing, windsurfing. The walk downhill is a very pleasant 15 minutes, but you can opt for the easier three-minute cable car when coming back up.
Taormina is well known as an elegant historic town, visited by film stars and celebrities and guests can enjoy browsing the elegant boutiques, pastry shops,and panoramic restaurants and there is a lively arts festival held at the Greek theatre. Early booking essential.

Perhaps Sicily’s main tourist destination, Taormina has something for everyone. A fabulous coastline, a land and history shaped by an active volcano and a choice of a low key evening or a livelier night a little further down the coast. The east coast’s history of being conquered has led to a rich cultural heritage with so many sites to see – most famously being the ancient theatres. With this in mind, it could be easy to miss out on a shopping experience – choose from the independent gift shops or the more well-known stores found in Catania. And of course, you can’t avoid the magnificent and varied Italian cuisine.
