Combining nature, relaxation and breathtaking views, this residence is ideal for those who want to escape from everyday life without sacrificing comfort and the beauty of the breathtaking views of Taormina and the Mediterranean Sea.
The House
The interior of the Vecchio Palmento, an ancient wine mill that has been skilfully restored, opens its doors to a refined 100 m² holiday home, perfectly embodying the combination of modern comfort and Sicilian authenticity. Guests can enjoy a spacious living area with a fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, a cosy bathroom with a shower, toilet and bidet, and two adjoining loft sleeping areas. The first has a comfortable double bed, while the second has a sofa bed that can accommodate two more people. Obviously, the property is ideal for a single couple.
Central heating and air conditioning (except in the kitchen) ensure maximum comfort in all seasons.
Outside, the villa boasts two panoramic terraces on two levels, connected by a charming spiral staircase. The upper terrace of 100 square metres offers a patio with a barbecue area, dining table and relaxation area, perfect for outdoor entertainment under the starry Sicilian sky. The lower terrace, measuring 40 square metres, invites you to relax completely with a mini-spa equipped with a panoramic hot tub, offering unique moments of peace between chromotherapy, aromatherapy and the surrounding nature. (Hot water for the hot tub is available on request.)
