Notes on accommodation
The house is on three levels. Enter the front door to the main living area, with stylish sitting and dining areas, and access to the dining area in the veranda outside. Off this living area is a small but fully equipped kitchen. Some spiral stairs take you to the first floor which is home to two double bedrooms with queen size bed and panoramic balcony, and a bathroom with shower. Some stairs lead up to a third double bedroom with queen size bed and en-suite bathroom (with shower), and to a small roof terrace with sun all day long. The atmosphere and decoration throughout are warm and simple with excellent use of colour and original features of the house. Thanks to their peculiar setting (the house is entirely built against the rock), all rooms are extremely cool and airy and do not require air conditioning, even in the peak of summer. Air conditioning is however fitted in the bedrooms and in the main living area. Reserved, secure parking space with remote control access.

Outside
The villa is a unique building of its kind, with a breathtaking charm which stands out from its idyllic setting on a high rocky cliff. The beautiful garden offers great alfresco dining options, sunlit breakfast spots and peaceful reading corners. The views are simply spectacular: the vastness of the blue sea and Isola Bella bay, and unforgettable scenery. The complex saltwater pool is dramatically located on the cliff edge with breathtaking views of Isola Bella bay. From inside the pool (open mid-May to end-September), one really has the sensation of hanging directly above the sea. An elevator takes you through 50m of solid rock to the spectacular rocky shore where you can sunbath or swim in the emerald blue-green waters, while the crystal clear waters of the surrounding grottoes provide ideal conditions for snorkeling and scuba diving. Although the private beach and pool can get quite busy in July and August, they remain extremely quiet during other periods.

Further details
If you can tear yourself away from the peace of the villa, a couple of miles away is the town of Taormina, the Pearl of the Mediterranean, easily reachable with the help of a cable car located 15 minutes walk away. Centre of attraction is the splendid Greco-Roman amphitheatre, spectacularly set with panoramic views across the beautiful blue bay with Mount Etna brooding in the background. Beautifully restored medieval buildings, breathtaking views around every corner and a giddy network of winding streets strewn with designer boutiques, romantic candlelit bars and sparkling restaurants make for a perfect holiday spot. Taormina is ideally located to easily reach most parts of Sicily including Mount Etna volcano, the Aeolian Islands, the UNESCO-protected baroque towns of Modica, Ragusa and Noto, the medieval village of Castelmola, Siracusa and its historical centre Ortigia, Villa Romana with its mosaics, Agrigento with its Greek temples… thousands of years of history in one island!

Guest comments
'One of the most beautiful places on earth! We spent 10 days of our honeymoon here. What a romantic place. Beautiful retro styling - but with all mod. cons. Secluded - but everything close at hand. The view from the Villa Suk's terrace of Isola Bella island is to die for! No wonder it is WWF protected - it's magnificent. We were there in September and had the pool to ourselves - fantastic. Taormina, just 5 mins away by car, is quite an extraordinary place. We're going back this year in September - can't wait and we think that's the best testimonial of all.' Lisa & James P, Glasgow, UK
'Fantastic place, absolutely stunning! Villa Suk is one of the most beautiful resorts I have ever been for my holidays. The location is incredible: it is hard to believe that there are places like that in the world! The garden, which in fact is a balcony on the blue Sicilian sea, is fantastic for sun-bathing during the day and nice dinners with friends at night...'
