To park you need to use the Lumbi public parking (Porta Messina side): about 72 euros / week.

A beautiful villa, ideally situated to explore Taormina.
We loved our holiday. Our host was really helpful and informative. He helped us to arrange a chef to cook for dinner one evening and also an Italian cookery lesson. The villa was beautiful inside and out. Would recommend!

Perfect!
This is a lovely property conveniently located in a quiet place of Taormina, close to the city centre. The view on the bay is superbe and the house very stylish. The garden is wonderful and designed in such a way that one can always find a sunny or shadowy spot at any time of the day. The property owners put a lot of effort to make one’s stay as nice as possible and will leave you all the instructions you need. The gardeners and cleaning lady are extremely nice and helpful. Perfect for a family with young kids - they didn’t want to leave and would love to return next year. By far the best choice we could find in Taormina.

Très beau séjour
Nous avons passé une semaine dans la maison. Au delà du fait que cette maison est très agréable à vivre avec une vue splendide, je tiens à souligner la gentillesse des personnes en charge de la maison qui ont su répondre à nos demandes et nous conseiller sur les bons restaurants et les événements de la ville. Vraiment gentil !!
