Villa La Gorgone - Sea View

Cinzia is a great host! Greeted us on our arrival from the airport, and kept in touch during our stay. Cinzia even provided a beautiful fruit and snack basket as well as refreshments to get us started and to enjoy during our stay.The house is lovely and the view is stunning! I could have stayed at the house without going anywhere else. The outdoor patio area is perfect. The house was immaculate and very comfortable. We highly recommend staying here!

Villa La Gorgone was more beautiful than even the photos could suggest. The terrace was huge and a true gathering spot for relaxation and drinks. The view was perhaps the most spectacular you will find. A breathtaking vista of the Ionian sea, Giardini Naxos, and a full view of Etna. Enza Maria was a fabulous and gracious host, attentive and available with good information about Taormina and the surrounding area. Comprehensive reading material and guidebooks were available to read if desired. She met us at check in and made it easy. The house was immaculate, beautifully decorated and well appointed. Lots of wonderful amenities were at our disposal. The kitchen was so nice. Plenty of room for 5 of us and could easily accommodate more. The three bathrooms made it very comfortable for us. The hot tub was perfect for early morning sunrises. We used the laundry which was great to have. Several terraces provided space for all to enjoy. There is an enclosed garage for the car which was a nice amenity to have especially for a rental. The walk down to Corso Umberto wasn't too bad, we managed to do it at least once per day, usually more. It is a beautiful way to work off the pasta, gelato, and cannoli. Porta Catania and Porta Messina both easy to get to. We walked down for granita every morning. Might be a little difficult for the elderly, but it was not too difficult for the 71 year old in our group.A truly beautiful home, with a view that is hard to beat. Grazie mille Cinzia!

Host was amazing!! She thought of every detail to make out stay perfect!

Villa Gorgone is everything you hope it to be when you look at the photos. The house is spacious and comfortable and nicely decorated. We appreciated the large main area with room to gather, have dinner, or just relax together before bed. The Sicilian artwork through really made you feel at home. The outdoor spaces and views really make the villa something special. The very large main patio has stunning views of Taormina and the sea, Mt Etna, Naxos , Castlemola, and distant villages. You can also see Calabria off in the distance. Many in our group thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub which is on anupstairs patio. The house itself is very nice, clean, and very well equipped. It should be noted the Villa, as in all Taormina, requires the ability to climb many stairs. There is garage parking for one vehicle as well as an open space for a second one Enza was a pleasure to work with while planning our stay in her beautiful villa, and stayed in touch during our stay to make sure we didn’t need anything. Prior to our visit she recommended a chef (Fabbio Vassalo)to come to the villa to prepare dinner. What a treat that was. She also recommended a tour of Mount Etna which was truly something not to be missed. If you are looking for a fabulous place to stay in Taormina, with an excellent host,this is it.
