Villagonia Blue

Holiday Rental Description

Located in the hilltop town Taormina, this villa offers stunning views of the sprawling cliffs which drop down to Ionian, sea-forming coves and powdery sand beaches. With stretches of green garden and encumbering mountain views, this peaceful spot has everything you need for a blissful coastal break.

With prime Sicilian temperatures, it’s not surprising this home promotes outdoor living. This home has a hydromassage pool as well as a pristine swimming pool, a four-poster daybed for siestas under the shade and a cool, curtained patio which is perfect for balmy, alfresco dinners prepared by a private chef if you so wish.

When you need a repose from the sun, retreat to the inside where you’ll find an oasis of amenities. The natural design aesthetic blends with minimal leather furnishings and cooling glass accents to create a laid-back energy that synchronises with the outside’s coastal spirit. The white sofas are a perfect spot to read or listen to a podcast - or head to the kitchen to prepare a light lunch of Sicilian tomatoes and local burrata.

If you want to get out and explore, beeline for Isola Bella to admire the island’s nature reserve and shallow blue waters (only a twenty-minute drive away) or drive an hour to indulge the day at Mount Etna, where you’ll be spoilt with volcanic landscapes, unfolding vineyards and lava flow caves.

Home truths:
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*Though there's enough bed space for ten people here, please request three extra beds with your host
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
