Wake up to the sea and Isola Bella. VINTAGE sits on the seafront of Mazzarò Bay, inside the Isola Bella nature reserve and just steps from the beach. Few places in Taormina put you between two of Sicily's most famous beaches, Isola Bella and Mazzarò, with no hill, no car and no shuttle needed to reach the water. Taormina's historic town sits high on the hill above; down here, the sea is your front garden.
WHY GUESTS CHOOSE VINTAGE
- A true seafront location, not a hilltop apartment with a distant view
- Views of the sea and Isola Bella, the most iconic landmark of the Taormina coast
- Two beaches within a short stroll: Isola Bella and Mazzarò
- Space for up to 8 guests in one private apartment
- Elegant vintage interiors instead of a standard holiday flat
- Taormina's centre and Ancient Theatre a short cable car ride away
THE APARTMENT
VINTAGE is a two-bedroom apartment with a romantic, old-world Sicilian character: gilded mirrors, ornate antique furniture, soft pastel tones and Mediterranean colours, combined with everything you need for a comfortable modern stay. Bright rooms open to the light and colours of the Ionian Sea.
The sun terrace is the heart of the stay: morning coffee looking out over the bay, a long lunch after the beach, and an aperitivo as the sun sets behind Isola Bella.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Two bedrooms with a double bed and two bunk beds, plus a comfortable sofa bed in the living room. The layout works well for families with children and groups of friends who want to stay together under one roof.
KITCHEN, BATHROOM AND AMENITIES
The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare breakfast, cook with fresh Sicilian produce from local markets, or enjoy a relaxed dinner in. The bathroom has a shower, bidet and hair dryer.
