Check in to your hotel and enjoy a relaxing evening on property!
Perched above the Ionian Sea on the eastern coast of Sicily, Taormina is a captivating blend of natural beauty and historical allure. This picturesque town boasts stunning views of the azure waters below and the majestic Mount Etna in the distance, creating a backdrop that's nothing short of breathtaking. With its ancient Greek theatre, vibrant streets lined with chic boutiques and cafes, and lush gardens, Taormina offers a timeless escape that seamlessly marries the charms of the past with the pleasures of the present.
Why we love it for you: Depending on which window you’re looking from, you can see all of Sicily’s wonders from the hotel. The hilltop panorama view includes the sea, Mt. Etna, and the 2,000-year-old Greek amphitheater next door, but only if you can peel your eyes away from the splendidly antique interior that’s inspired writers. Don’t think that being on a hill means sacrificing the beach, since a free shuttle takes guests down to a private stretch of Mediterranean sand.
