With its cinematic landscape, ancient history and mesmerising views across the coast, the hilltop town of Taormina is steeped in the beauty of Sicily. And just like its setting, this eye-catching family home will captivate your attention from the moment of arrival. From the dusty-rose exterior to the art-filled interior, every detail inspires a wonderful sense of curiosity and inspiration. So whether you’re gazing at the shimmering sea from the upstairs balcony, admiring the ornate furnishings and paintings or watching a film on the projector screen, it’s easy to feel enchanted by this setting. And while there’s an abundance of charm and character here, above all, this is a cosy home that captures the magic of Italian living. Days can be spent lounging by the pool, sipping drinks under the pine trees and dining al fresco. You’ll find the centre of Taormina and the ancient Greco-­Roman theatre close by, while this home also makes a great base for hiking, cycling and exploring the spectacular countryside around the base of Mount Etna.
