Nestled into the hills, gazing lovingly out over Taormina, this elegant villa provides the most serene escape for a Sicilian stay. The private pool is likely to entice you in straight away, with the cooling waters hard to resist in the heat of the day. Suitably refreshed, you can settle down on a sun lounger to while away a few hours with your summer read at the ready. With just the quiet notes of birdsong around you, it’s a peaceful way to spend the day. On the upper level of the villa, you’ll find the living area which boasts such an expanse of floor-to-ceiling glass, you’ll feel the Ionian Sea wrapping itself around you even when you’re indoors. Step out onto the terrace, and you can still enjoy the view with the addition of a gentle sea breeze – it’s the perfect spot for after-dinner drinks. Speaking of dinner, when it’s time for a meal, light the barbecue and dine poolside under the candy-striped gazebo. With your loved ones gathered, it’ll make for a memorable evening as the stars break out above. If you can bear to leave the villa, the local town of Taormina has to be top of your to-do list. With beaches, quaint streets, and even a Greek-Roman theatre to enjoy, you’ll never be short of things to do in this stunning setting.
