This luxurious villa is a stunning base in east Sicily. It’s just above the seaside town of Letojanni and is close to Taormina, with beaches nearby. The villa boasts truly glorious views over the Ionian Sea and Taormina, which can be admired from inside as well as outside, thanks to floor-to-ceiling sliding French doors. Inside, the decor is crisp and clean, and you’ll find everything you need to enjoy a comfortable, relaxing stay. There’s even a gym and a sauna. Outside, the infinity pool is the main focus – aside from the views. The pool has a hydromassage area, and there’s a separate Jacuzzi. We love the alfresco dining area – there’s a barbecue to cook on too.

Home truths

    There’s private parking at this home.

    This home is split between the main villa and a separate one-bedroom space that is only accessible from the pool area.

    There are stairs to climb at this home so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility. There’s one ground-floor bedroom and bathroom though.

    While not every bathroom has been photographed, we expect the style and standard to be consistent with the rest of the home.
