Overlooking the crystal waters of the Mediterranean Sea, this indoor-outdoor villa is perfectly pitched for a relaxing stay in sweet Sicily. Situated on the outskirts of Taormina, and within easy walk of several sandy beaches down the coast, you'll be able to see the island with ease and comfort. Back up at your hilltop villa, find yourself swimming lengths of the infinity pool, bathing on a sun lounger, and enjoying languorous lunches on the terrace, all while taking in the awe-inspiring sea views around you. For the interiors, think traditional tiled flooring, high ceilings, and large windows that flood the living space with natural sunlight. Step out onto a choice of terraces for an evening negroni or rustle up a quick bite in the impressive chef's kitchen. There's even a fully-equipped gym for active types looking to work off last night's three courser. Speaking of, the historic town of Taormina, just a fifteen-minute walk from your doorstep, offers a great choice of trendy bars and family-run restaurants for a lovely evening out. Rather top up your tan at the beach than the pool? The good news is that the white sands and clear waters of Mazzarò are also only twenty... minutes away on foot. Perfecto.
