The villa occupies a secluded yet elevated position, 3 minutes away from the town centre, with stunning views over the old roofs of Taormina, its ancient Graeco-Roman theatre, and the surrounding Ionian Sea.
The house, both because of its thick walls and its being surrounded by greenery, is cool and breezy.
The 19th-century house is still owned by the family who built it, now spread between Sicily, France, UK and Portugal.
The villa is amidst a private 3000m² luxurious Mediterranean garden featuring bougainvillaea, lemon trees, almond trees, three large terraces and an old well. This means there is a cool temperature all year around.
From the main road, you reach it by climbing the stepped path through the garden, lined with jasmine and lemon and jacaranda trees.
