It is an ancient mansion just a few minutes walk from the historic center, surrounded by an ancient peaceful garden of 3000m2 with centuries-old trees, Mediterranean vegetation and dry stone walls.
The house, both for its thick walls and because it is surrounded by greenery, is cool and breezy. From the main road you can get there by climbing stairs (first a series of 21 steps 7x3) then along an avenue that climbs between lemons, jacaranda and jasmine (1 or 2 steps every 3-4 meters).

Nous avons passé une semaine dans la maison. Au delà du fait que cette maison est très agréable à vivre avec une vue splendide, je tiens à souligner la gentillesse des personnes en charge de la maison qui ont su répondre à nos demandes et nous conseiller sur les bons restaurants et les événements de la ville. Vraiment gentil !!

This is a lovely property conveniently located in a quiet place of Taormina, close to the city centre. The view on the bay is superbe and the house very stylish. The garden is wonderful and designed in such a way that one can always find a sunny or shadowy spot at any time of the day. The property owners put a lot of effort to make one’s stay as nice as possible and will leave you all the instructions you need. The gardeners and cleaning lady are extremely nice and helpful. Perfect for a family with young kids - they didn’t want to leave and would love to return next year. By far the best choice we could find in Taormina.
