About This Villa

Surrounded by vibrant Mediterranean greenery and soaring palms on a lush hillside close to the heart of Taormina is dreamy Villa Naxos. This spacious home overlooks the sea, bay of Mazzarò, sweeping Sicilian coastline and Isola Bella for enchanting views any time of the day or night.

Getting even closer to the coastal action is easy from Villa Naxos. A five-minute walk away is a cable car station for riding down the hillside to Mazzarò's pretty pebble beach. Jump in the car to reach Taormina's centre with its historic sites and chic pavement-cafe culture in just five minutes. Or enjoy a leisurely 15-minute stroll into town.

Villa Naxos comprises a main villa and five beautifully appointed annexes. With a total of eight bedrooms, it's an ideal retreat for multiple groups holidaying together in paradise.

The villa is furnished with impeccable taste and a blend of irresistible Sicilian style and contemporary clean lines throughout. Rooms burst with ornate decorations, such as the grand living-room fireplace, more of those lovely traditional tiles and striking, eclectic art. When evening falls, curl up in front of that stunning fireplace as you plan tomorrow's adventures.

Gorgeous parquet floors feature across the three bedrooms, with all opening onto a terrace that offers panoramic sea views. Bathrooms put on a colourful show with decorative tiles so typical of the region.

All of the self-contained one-bedroom annexes have sea views, with some also enjoying private garden and private terrace. With marine-inspired colours and bright, airy atmospheres, these annexes feel almost like luxurious beach houses.

Dine indoors or al fresco on the pool terrace as the sun begins to set over the sea, the choice is yours. However, the hardest decision will probably be where to soak up the sea views outside. It could be the swimming pool, or perhaps the indulgent hot tub with a range of pampering features.

When you're feeling more active, stroll into Taormina and spend an afternoon sightseeing. Highlights include a medieval cathedral, the old town walls and a tiny hilltop church. But the absolute must-visit is Teatro Antico di Taormina, an ancient Greek open-air theatre.

Explore more ancient history in the resort town of Giardini Naxos, just 15 minutes away by car. Also visit Catania with its wealth of Baroque architecture. Definitely an unmissable destination is iconic Mount Etna, which is perfect for a longer day out.
