The panoramic views across the Ionian and Taormina Bay, are what really caught our eye at this Letojanni villa. This home is all about maximising Sicilian living – multiple outdoor terraces for dining and lounging, a pristine pool and sun-bathing area, and minimalist bedrooms that open out onto the sea views. These vistas don't come so easy here – access to the villa is via a steep road – but it's worth the effort. The nearest beach is 2km away in Letojanni, while the cities of Taormina, Catania and Syracuse are great options for a day trip.
