Property 10696

Location and Surrounding Area

Located near Taormina and steps from the town’s most beautiful sites, this magnificent seven-bedroom villa is the perfect place for a relaxing break in one of the most popular tourist destinations in Sicily. One of the main pleasures of Taormina is wandering around Corso Umberto I, the narrow street that crosses the full width of the town. Taormina is well-known for its antiques and handicrafts, but there are also chic boutiques galore as well as delicatessens crammed with delicious local produce.

Here, retail therapy can be combined with some of the most splendid vistas in the world. The most striking sight in Taormina is the site of Greek Theater, with views of Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea. Stop to admire the view from the terrace in Piazza IX Aprile and visit the ancient churches in the town, such as the cathedral and San Giuseppe. For another wonderful view of the town, follow the steps up to the medieval castle at the top of Monte Tauro – It is well worth the climb.

Visit the Villa Comunale, filled with luxuriant vegetation and blessed with wonderful panoramic views. Don’t miss the unusual pagoda-like towers, follies decorated with pumice stone, built by Florence Trevelyan Cacciola, a British woman and passionate ornithologist who settled in Taormina. After lunch, visit Giardini Naxos, a small seaside resort just a short distance from Taormina and the site of the earliest Greek colony in Sicily. Ruins of the town walls can still be seen, set among lemon trees.

Taormina is undoubtedly a jewel of the Ionian coast, and its many facets dazzle visitors like the sunlight on its clear blue waters. The easiest way to reach Taormina’s beach is by cable car, but you can also walk down the long flight of steps from the center. Take the cable car down to the sea for magnificent walks along the coast, to the cove dominated by the tiny Isola Bella, today a World-Wide Fund for Nature Reserve, or to Spisone, with its lovely sandy beach.
