About this property

Elegant villa with magnificent views of Isola Bella, in a luxury residence

Elegant villa on three levels with garden of exclusive use, which is part of a prestigious complex, located in Taormina Mare, located right opposite the ISOLA BELLA (now WWF Nature Reserve).

The complex has a large private car park (with allocated parking space for each apartment), a private pool with sea water (this last is operational from 1st May to mid-October) and once in the pool you have the magical feeling of being immersed in the beautiful cobalt blue waters. The rocky beach for the exclusive use, has access via an elevator built inside the rocky ridge and is also accessible through an impressive stone staircase. The beach is equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas reserved for guests and has, since the middle of June, walkways and ladders for direct access to the beautiful waters of the bay.


Structure of the dwelling: The house is spread over three floors and consists of:
• A large living room with dining room and kitchen on the ground floor;
• Two bedrooms with sea view (one double and one with two single beds) and two bathrooms with shower on the first floor, connected to the ground floor with spiral staircase;
• A third double bedroom with its bathroom with shower, on the second floor. This is a two-room connected to the main structure by a few external stairs: independent but very close to the central body;
• External porch equipped with dining table and chairs;
• Enchanting garden (partly with lawn and partly tiled) with elegant tropical plants and flowers, equipped with umbrella and comfortable armchairs, with an amazing view of the bay of Isola Bella and the Calabrian coast
• The house is completed by a two-story suite with independent access from the ground floor, in the corridor, just opposite the main entrance. This suite consists of a living room and a large bathroom with double sinks and a shower on the ground floor, and a double bedroom on the upper level.
• All rooms in the house are equipped with air conditioning system with hot and cold air.

Excursion tips: From Taormina you can hike, even daily, in many places of Sicily including: ETNA, the largest active volcano in Europe, the Alcantara Gorges, whose most striking reach 25m in height and give life to a spectacular canyon, the beautiful Aeolian Islands, reached the port of Milazzo, the medieval village of CASTELMOLA, MESSINA, with ORTIGIA SYRACUSE, an island joined to the mainland by three bridges and filled with wonderful examples of Baroque architecture, the precious cities of the late Baroque of the Val di Noto (Modica, Catania, Palazzolo Acreide, Militello Val di Catania, Noto, Caltagirone, Ragusa and Scicli, all declared Unesco Heritage), Villa Romana del Casale in Piazza Armerina with its mosaics of inestimable value , Agrigento with its Valley of the temples where you can see these ancient monuments in their majesty and splendor.

Golf: For golf enthusiasts, 30km from Taormina, in the territory of Castiglione and just below the volcano, the PICCIOLO GOLF CLUB, an 18-hole course that creep through forests of oak, hazel and rows of vineyards.

Liked: Communication, location
Great location, in need of update
Location and access to the beach was fantastic. However, the apartment itself was very dated (fridge, cooking utensils, cutlery etc more like a camping trip than an upmarket apartment) and the back bedrooms, whilst sizeable, were dark and smelt slightly damp. Overall, the location sells this apartment, however the interior/utilities are neglected/lacking.

Fantastic location 😃
What a fantastic location ! Our children aged 10,12 and 14 loved snorkelling on the private beach and as we stayed in August we were surprised to have the entire pool area to ourselves some days ! It’s just a short walk into the small town where there are a few restaurants or you can ride the cable car up to Taormina which has a vast choice of restaurants, shops and the amphitheater. We drove a little further around the coast and found some fantastic beaches and went to Mount Etna which is a must. The villa is traditional in style and does have a quirky lay out but was clean, new shower curtains in place etc and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Antonia lives next door and is most helpful advising on where to eat, visit, etc All in all a very memorable family holiday !

View was outstanding, sadly the villa was very disappointing, in need of lots of TLC and upgrading.
The view from the villa gardens and the back of the house is awesome. Be aware that the villa is split into three separate sections, two of the bedrooms are not in the house, so families beware! We arrived to find one old and battered garden chair, (for 6 guests) oven not working, neither did the toaster work, the kettle supplied was big enough to make two cups of tea, ridiculous size for 6 people. Admittedly the owner did furnish us with 4 more garden chairs the day after we arrived, replaced the toaster and kettle, and offered us a portable contraption in the garden to compensate for the oven, which we didn’t use! Rusty waste bins, taps, dirty grouting, cracked tiles in the bathrooms, ripped shower curtain, a broken window in the lounge, filthy light fittings, hairs on the bed throws, just totally unacceptable for the price! Also there are so many rules to be obeyed around the complex, if you plan to sit out in the garden be aware there is a curfew after 10.00 pm, they also request no cackling around the pool, bins only allowed to be taken out in the evening the list goes on! We had taken 4 of our friends as guests, had this not been the case we would have moved out, so we had to make the best of the holiday that we could. It would have been impossible to have everything rectified as the villa needs a thorough overhaul. We only complained about the furniture and cooking facilities whilst we were there. I did email the owner upon our return, but had a very standard (as per a recent review online)and poor response. I find this difficult to complain on line as I appreciate that running a business isn’t easy, I would only do this if I felt it was truly unacceptable, hence the reason for this review.

Perfect!
We have just returned from Sicily having stayed at Antonia's house. Antonia was a wonderful host who went to a great effort to ensure we were thoroughly informed about the house. She welcomed us warmly on arrival and even booked a restaurant for us on our first evening! The house is in a stunning position just as you see in photos, with a short drive to Taormina or 10/15 min walk to the closest beaches. The house is absolutely immaculate and there is an abundance of kitchen/dining equipment. The house is spacious and the garden is well kept. We are not early birds so missed the limited number of loungers at the pool and the rocks so it may be worth investing in soft mats to lie on. The beaches closest to Taormina are quite busy at this time of year but we found that if we drove another 5/10 mins further on we found quieter stretches with amenities. Thank you so much for taking care of us Antonia!

Stunning location!!
We had an amazing time staying in Antonia's beautiful Blue House. The location is to die for with the most stunning views from the garden and swimming pool and Antonia could not have been a more accommodating and delightful host. Thanks Antonia and we are already looking forward to our return
