Villa Sant’Andrea, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina Mare 

A Sicilian star

A classically elegant villa in a tranquil location – perfect for a beach-based break.

Located in peaceful sub-tropical gardens, this hotel started life as a stunning private villa in the early 1900s and still holds all the charm of its aristocratic origins. The service you will receive is at the level you would expect from a Belmond property, and the views are just as spectacular as you can imagine from a coastal setting.
