With calming views of the Ionian Sea and overlooking Mount Etna, this Sicilian home offers sunshine, shade and relaxation in spades. Imagine yourself out on the terrace, sharing an alfresco breakfast as you socialise with the fresh, sea-salt breeze in the air. 

Afterwards, you might opt for a day of sunbathing, but with the crystal clear sea only moments away, don’t be surprised if you find yourself instinctively taking a walk there. Spend hours splashing in the water before heading back home for lunch. If you’re not one to cook every meal – and why should you when on holiday – you’ll be happy to find two pizzerias within walking distance. 

Emerald greens, deep purples, and gold all pop against an otherwise neutral colour palette, adding character to this space without disrupting the calm atmosphere. Curl up on the couch with a good book, take afternoon naps with the balcony doors flung open, enjoy an indulgent soak in the tub, and come together in the evenings for a family movie.

In the east of Sicily, where the blue waters of the Ionian Sea lap the shores, there’s no better place to be than on the coast. This villa sits magnificently by the water, just a six-minute drive from the bustling town of Augusta, or half an hour from Syracuse if you’re looking for something a bit more metropolitan. That said, when you’ve got your very own slice of the seaside in this home, it might be tempting to stay put.

Sitting right on the island’s coastline, your Martini isn’t the only thing on the rocks. This villa has its own private access path down to the shore. But if wild swimming isn’t your thing, you’ve also got a huge infinity pool on your terrace. You could spend the entire day floating here with a cocktail in hand, but other options include barbecues on the lush lawn or brunches on the patio.

On a rare, rainy day, serve up Italian cuisine on one of two dining tables inside. The playful interiors are sure to brighten your day, with a modern, yellow-themed kitchen and rich red tones running through the living space. And the final primary colour is of course the magnificent view of the azure sea, pool, and traditional wooden shutters to match.

The Azzurro

Say ‘si’ to seaside living in Sicily. This beautifully designed apartment, nestled in the heart of Augusta’s historic centre, is close to churches, shops, cafes, and restaurants. It provides a stylish and comfortable base for exploring the best of southern Italy. With contemporary design, artistic touches, and high-quality finishes, it offers both comfort and convenience for families or friends. Just a short walk from Augusta’s sea and beaches, it’s perfectly located for easy access to unforgettable day trips to Syracuse, Noto, and Catania.

If you’re seeking somewhere truly special to stay in Sicily, we think this restored lighthouse just might fit the bill. It’s in Brucoli, a seaside village with some excellent restaurants, close to Syracuse and Val di Noto. You’ll have direct access to the sea and can also walk to a nearby small, sandy beach. There’s a Jacuzzi outside, from which you can admire views towards Mount Etna. The lighthouse is next to a 15th-century Aragonese castle, making the backdrop particularly striking. The wraparound terrace has a shady dining area too, including a barbecue. Inside, the decor is chic and stylish, and you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable break. 

The Rococo Palace

Self Check-in / Check-out

Balcony

Contemporary living meets Sicilian charm in this traditional home. Located in the historic area of Ortigia, you'll be surrounded by ancient streets contrasting this stylishly modern apartment. Decorated with warm tones reminiscent of the colours of the desert, this is an ideal home for a romantic getaway with your loved one. Start your day by flinging open the window shutters in the bedroom and enjoying cornettis and fresh orange juice in bed, and end the day by indulging in a glass of moscato wine on the romantic outdoor balcony area. This home is made by love for those who are in love.

The Ortigia area you'll be located in is just as romantic to explore considering it is steeped in history as part of Syracuse. Wander the streets on your doorstep and discover picturesque squares to while away time in, or take a short walk down to Cala Rossa beach to marvel at stunning azure waters. A picnic here will be an afternoon well spent. Make sure to sample the local granitas during your stay here – they're something special.

Nestled in the heart of Ortigia, this home is an ideal base for a family or group of friends. With three bedrooms boasting en-suites, everyone can enjoy their privacy here, but the star of the show is the private terrace. With views across Sicilian rooftops, this sun-drenched space is perfect for alfresco meals or simply relaxing with a good book. Fancy a spot of sightseeing? Within easy reach, you’ll find the Temple of Apollo and Forte San Giovannello – just the spot to watch the sunrise – while Ortigia’s nearby market is a must-visit for some local produce to sample at home.

Shades of Ortigia

This elegant apartment is perfect for a family, two couples, or a group of friends. We love the high ceilings and tall windows, which fill the space with light. The open-plan living and dining space is ideal for socialising, as there’s plenty of room – this is far larger than lots of homes in this area. In terms of location, you’ll be in the heart of the historic centre of Ortigia, just a few steps from the Temple of Apollo. The apartment is in a pedestrian zone, so you can get around easily on foot. 

Apollo View

Perched just seconds away from the dazzling Ionian Sea and vast sandy shores of Agnone Bagni's beach, it's easy to see the lure of this newly built apartment fringing Sicily's baroque town of Augusta.

Spend lazy days on the quiet sandy shores of this lowkey seaside resort – it's all the coastal Sicily vibes you're chasing with its white sands, and straw parasols and deckchairs to hire. And when it's time for a spot of culture, zip over to Augusta (a twenty-minute drive) to explore the medieval Old Town's wander-worthy lanes. Perched on an island connected to the mainland by two bridges and overlooked by the mighty 800-year-old castle, Il Castello Svevo, it's an afternoon well spent.

Back at home, while the minimalist décor of this apartment isn't going to win any awards, you'll love the fresh, uplifting feel and clean, uncluttered spaces. Grab a glass of something crisp and head out on the balconies leading off both the living room and bedroom. And if you fancy a change of scene, there's always the communal garden and built-in barbecue area downstairs – a great place to meet your neighbours and pick up some tips on what's hot in Sicily.

This beautiful apartment is in a stunning position in the historic centre of Ortigia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s in front of Forte Vigliena, an ancient Bourbon-era fortress. It’s also just 10 metres from a sandy beach. This home has a private terrace where you can soak up the sun and drink in the wonderful sea views. The view stretches to the island of Maddalena up to Plemmirio. We love the elegant decor in this well-equipped, comfortable home.

Directly facing the historic Ortigia market, this beautifully curated apartment offers a symphony for the senses, all while providing a design-led space that’s as chic as it is comfortable. 

Housed in an early 20th-century building, you’ll immediately be immersed in the colours, scents and sounds of local Ortigian life from the home’s beautiful balconies – allowing you to people-watch over a morning cup of coffee or evening glass of red, courtesy of the home's wine cellar.

We love the blend of old meets new that gives this home such a singular feel. Many of the home’s original features remain, with high ceilings, decorative mouldings and colourful tiles sitting alongside bespoke contemporary details, like designer lighting, polished concrete accents and handcrafted furniture. There’s an abundance of natural light here too thanks to the French doors, allowing the sunlight to cast its glow across the interiors’ greys, pinks, reds and blues that recall the lively hues of the market just outside. 

Speaking of the market, you won’t be able to resist cooking up a homemade Sicilian feast with fresh produce in the blush kitchen, or alternatively, asking your host to organise a private cooking course and a tour of the local area. 

When you’re ready to venture further afield for some exploring, you’ll find the Cathedral of Syracuse an eight-minute walk away, Fontana di Diana a six-minute stroll and Arethusa Spring ten minutes away on foot. You’re also a twelve-minute walk from Cala Rossa Beach, while Castello Maniace is twenty minutes on foot from your door. 


Market Symphony 

Nestled next to the beach in Syracuse, this home is an ideal base for a stay on the Sicilian coast. With one bedroom open to the living area below, we think this apartment is best suited to a family who don’t mind the lack of privacy. Still, when you can wake up to sea views, best enjoyed from the private balcony, sleeping on the mezzanine area seems a small price to pay. You’ll be drawn to the water in no time here – and you’re in luck, Cala Rossa beach is a mere 50-metre stroll away.

Single-Level Home

Colourful abstract art and a slick, minimalist design come together in this wonderfully located apartment. Sitting in the heart of Syracuse’s historic centre on the island of Ortigia, you’ve got a wealth of things to see and do right outside your door including the Fontana di Diana, the Cathedral of Syracuse, Cala Rossa Beach and the Castello Maniace. 

After a busy day of sightseeing, you’ll love coming back to your modern pad for a sundowner on the private balcony, followed by a homemade meal – when you’re not out sampling the local seafood restaurants. Then retreat to the grand bed set against its eye-catching feature wall for a restful night's sleep, with the promise of a luxurious rainfall shower to wake up to the following morning.

On the sun-dappled coast of southern Sicily, the Baroque city of Noto shines with the majestic charm of the region. And nestled within its centre, this home provides the perfect setting for an immersive island escape. 

From the soft light and earthy tones to the rustic furnishings, every detail inspires a wonderful sense of welcome. On the ground floor, you'll find the living room opens up onto a private terrace – inviting you to enjoy a quiet morning coffee or dusky pink sunset drinks. 

Back inside, this dynamic space brings a romantic touch to daily living. And whether you’re enjoying a candlelit dinner or relaxing in the ensuite bedrooms, it’s easy to feel captivated by the simplicity of this home. 

From here, it’s just a short walk into the centre where days can be spent strolling along the enchanting baroque alleys, savouring gelatos and mingling with locals in tiny bars and restaurants. And for explorations along the shimmering coastline, you’ll find Lido di Noto is 3km from here, while some of the island’s most secluded beaches are just a short drive away.

Tucked among olive groves in the heart of Val di Noto, this soulful countryside retreat is filled with timeless Sicilian charm. Classic furnishings, sun-drenched courtyards, and a tranquil pool invite slow days and alfresco moments. Wander through orchards, sip aperitifs at golden hour, and let nature set the pace. The interiors are relaxed and characterful – a little worn in places perhaps, but full of warmth and personality. It’s the kind of place that feels instantly familiar. Rustic, beautiful, and deeply restful.

Opulent Vista

Modern and bright, this apartment offers a comfortable base for those looking to stay in the heart of Isola di Ortigia. You'll be a short walk from Fonte Aretusa, Syracuse Cathedral and the vibrant marina’s waterfront eateries and bars, while the Ionian waters of Cala Rossa are within easy reach. There's a modern kitchen, an inviting living room, and a laptop-friendly workspace for those needing to work during their stay. But the real standouts here are the balconies, which serve as lovely spots for evening drinks after a day of sightseeing.

In the Heart of Ortigia

This stunning apartment makes for a dreamy setting for holidays with family or friends. It overlooks the sea from a privileged spot on the island of Ortigia. There are two large terraces so you’ll find every opportunity to admire those sea views, and there are plenty of tall windows inside to showcase them too. We love how much room there is here, with a variety of seating areas so you can gather together or enjoy a quiet moment by yourself. Every bedroom has a private bathroom, making this an excellent base for a stress-free stay, even with a large group.

Prepare to fall in love with this stylish home, set among the ancient streets and alleys of this unique island – the historic heart of Syracuse. About as authentic and charming as it gets, this place is all about exposed stone walls, shuttered windows and beamed ceilings. Mixed with modern luxuries and updated with plenty of contemporary chic, it's the perfect base for a stay right in the heart of things. And take it from us when we say you're going to love the two first-floor balconies here – they may be small but they're super cute.

Set over two main floors, the master suite is the first room you'll come across – and what a knockout it is. Elegant and spacious, it comes with high ceilings, stone floors and an arch across the large bed, not to mention the huge walk-in shower. The floor above is where you'll find the open-layout living room, with a cosy sofa, dining table and perfectly practical kitchen, all topped off by French doors to two sides opening out to your balconies. And further steps lead to a dreamy mezzanine bedroom and bathroom.

Head outside and you're never far from an important historical site, gorgeous restaurant or stunning sea view. With the whole island at your fingertips, you can even join a walking tour so you don't miss a thing.

We know waking up early on holiday isn't always what you want to do, but we guarantee a stay in this 1900s townhouse will transform you into an early riser. Situated at a vantage point overlooking panoramic scenes of Modica, when you walk out onto the balcony and witness magnificent views of the light forming over the town, you'll be sure to feel energised for the day ahead. That's important as there's a lot to do and see in this stunning region of Sicily. 

Modica itself is a Unesco town with years of history to explore. Wander its wonderful streets and make sure to indulge in lots of chocolate here – the town has a 400-year tradition of Sicilian chocolate making. We recommend checking out the centrepiece of the town, the Duomo di San Giorgio, which is one of the most spectacular sights of Baroque architecture in Sicily. But if days walking around is too much, then why not spend a day at one of the fine beaches in this area? Sampieri is one of the most famous and it's only a twenty-eight-minute drive. No matter what you choose to do during the day, we guarantee you'll end up spending your evenings on this home's balcony watching the lights of Modica twinkle at night while sipping on a glass of something tasty. Magical.

Early Riser

Located in Piazza Duomo, this apartment is an idyllic spot to enjoy Isola di Ortigia and Syracuse. From here, you can reach the marina’s waterfront restaurants, Fonte Aretusa, Chiesa di Santa Lucia alla Badia and Cala Rossa Beach – just keep in mind this is a very small rocky beach. After a day exploring the picturesque city, you can share dinners overlooking the sea and enjoy sunsets from the balcony with a glass of Nero d’Avola in hand.

If you’re visiting Syracuse as a large group, these five suites in Isola di Ortigia are just the spot for a family and friends retreat. With four suites offering individual kitchenettes and dining areas, there’s plenty of space and privacy here. Plus, with two sofa beds, you can accommodate four guests if you need the option. When you want to come together, there’s a rooftop terrace to enjoy alfresco meals and evening drinks. Though with eateries, bars, and waterfront restaurants on your doorstep, we’re sure you’ll spend most of your time dining out.

The ancient city of Syracuse has some incredible historical landmarks, and many of them will be on your doorstep if you choose this smart apartment in the Città Vecchia. On the island that's the city's historic centre, it's got a top location and a stylish, modern interior. 

The home is part of a typical period building, and although it comes with the tall ceilings and the little balcony you might expect, it's been fully modernised to create a comfortable, home-from-home feel. The living room is bright and colourful, with a comfy sofa bed and an arching lamp, while the kitchen is newly fitted and equipped for cooking at home – if indeed you spend any evenings in.

Right in the heart of the city, you'll be surrounded by historic architecture and narrow, cobbled streets. With shops and cafes just outside the front door and the stunning Piazza Archimede at the end of the road, you couldn't be any better placed for exploring Syracuse.

Archimedes Ring

Full of fashionable design-led flair, this apartment on the island of Ortigia in Syracuse’s historic centre offers comfort, class and beautiful views over ​​Archimede Square and towards the sea. A dark, sophisticated palette is offset by an abundance of natural light streaming in through the French doors. Open these up to reveal a private balcony – the ideal spot to begin mornings over espressos or to end the evening with a celebratory aperitivo. 

We love the colourful eye-catching artwork decking the walls here too – particularly the large feature piece framing the grand-looking bed that invites an elegant night’s sleep. Factor in the sleek kitchenette and the luxurious bathroom’s rainfall shower and you’ve got everything you need for a carefree Syracuse stay. 

When it comes to exploring nearby, make a beeline for the stunning Fontana di Diana or visit the nearby Cathedral of Syracuse. You’re also within easy reach of Cala Rossa Beach, as well as the Castello Maniace on the tip of the island.

Nestled away in the Hyblean region of southern Siciliy, this farmhouse was recently treated to a four-year refurbishment that finished in 2021 and this hard work is immediately apparent as you take a tour around the buildings and the grounds.

We're full of praise for the way that period features have been retained alongside more contemporary features, which lead to super-sleek kitchens and bathrooms rubbing shoulders quite happily with patches of exposed stonework and wooden ceiling beams overhead. A former stable has been turned into a lavish dining space, while the wine cellar has been kept and filled with local bottles.

The very same climate that makes Sicily so propitious for wine production is a pretty sizable reason why people jet over to the island for a sojourn and there are plenty of ways to bask in the sunshine here. The large swimming pool and adjoining Jacuzzi are sure to see plenty of use, as are the barbecue and alfresco tables on the verandahs that are treated to peaceful views of the local landscape.

Although there's a welcome sense of isolation at the address, the nearest town – Frigintini – is only 3km away and has a few restaurants and shops to tide you over. A little further afield, there are beaches on the island's southern coastline starting from as close as 30km away – well within range for a day trip or two.

Rustic Reinvented

Effortlessly cool and utterly relaxing, this stripped-back apartment is the perfect place for a solo traveller or couple to bliss out in style. Inside, it’s all whitewashed walls and polished concrete floors. There’s a sleek kitchenette for serving up tasty caponata with crusty bread for dipping and an open-plan living space for unwinding with your morning coffee. Step outside and you’ll find a communal infinity pool – a welcome respite on those long, hot afternoons. Stop mid-swim to soak up the unspoilt views then kick back on a lounger with an ice-cold drink in hand. 

If exploring is on the agenda, take the short drive over to Pantanello Beach for a paddle in the Ionian Sea or head north along the coast to Syracuse, a city known for its ancient ruins, baroque piazzas and romantic restaurants tucked down cobbled streets.

Siciliana Rhythm

This ground-floor apartment is an ideal base for a small family or group of friends on a Syracuse stay. Sure, it’s fairly fuss-free in style, and we think the kitchen is best suited to whipping up light bites, but this home’s all about the location for us. Dining out is a breeze with an abundance of eateries nearby, and Ortigia market is a must-visit. The Temple of Apollo is a stone’s throw away, or venture further south to discover the Cathedral of Syracuse, the Fountain of Diana, and Cala Rossa beach.

Right in the centre of Catania, this home allows you to explore the city with total ease. History buffs will love it here, due to local landmarks only being a short walk away. One of our favourite things about this home is that it's close to public transport – giving you the chance to dive deeper into Sicily. Step out onto the balcony to watch the bustling streets below and have a front–row seat to the daily lives of the locals.

This cozy apartment is perfect for a romantic getaway to Italy, and this central location means you can treat yourself to authentic wines and delicious Italian cuisine for date night. Visit gorgeous art museums or head to the shopping district to find gifts for your loved ones back home.

Evenings can be spent snuggled up in front of the TV, with the moonlight pouring in through the balcony door. Notice the streets below become quieter as the day draws to a close, and drift away ready for another day of adventuring.

On the edge of the Ionian coast, you’ll want to drop your bags and immediately head out to the terrace. The interior is just as eye-catching as its Sicilian surroundings – take your pick of two living rooms to unwind, fall asleep blissfully in the elegant bedrooms and wake up refreshed with the help of your rain shower (each en-suite has one). You’ll find multiple balconies to soak in the panoramas, though you’ll need to climb some stairs – a glass of Nero d’Avola at the top will make it all worth it. Or hop in the car to Syracuse for an evening in the Roman city, where you can sample the local Sicilian cuisine amongst the ancient ruins.

At the edge of a nature reserve, in a picturesque Sicilian village, right on the sea – this villa has it all. Ocean breeze scents the air with salt and rustles through the whitewashed archways framing the house. There is no better way to start the day than sipping a coffee on the balcony overlooking the Mediterranean, perhaps after running twenty metres down to the beach and plunging in the water. The house is designed in a laid back Italian style – terrazzo floors, wicker chairs, and an earthy colour palette. There are three bathrooms, and the main bedroom has an en suite, so everyone has their space. 

Known for its Baroque architecture, the beautiful town of Noto is a UNESCO world heritage site and can be reached in thirteen minutes by car. Along the shoreline from the villa there are seafront restaurants, bars, and sandy beaches to explore. The breathtaking Vendicari nature reserve is a twenty-four minute drive away, a paradise for birdwatching, where you’ll find hiking trails, pristine beaches, and blooming native plant life. After a day of exploring, fire up the barbecue and whip up some cocktails as you watch the sunset from your balcony. 

Ionian Breeze

There's a reason many people consider Sicily to be a magical place to visit, and it's homes like this that show you why. Immerse yourself in an Italian paradise at this wonderful villa in the San Lorenzo area of the island. The swimming pool is the focal point of the home here. Whether you're putting on a breakfast pastry spread for the family to dive into on the terrace, or barbequing vegetables in the outside cooking area, you'll love gazing at the pool's turquoise water. We especially like the idea of picking up some local Sicilian cherries and enjoying them in the garden with a view. Life moves slowly here, and that's exactly how we like it! 

The home itself is a mirror of beauty to the turquoise water outside of it. Modern in design and flawless in execution, you'll have a hard time tearing yourself away from this plush pad. But considering the gems waiting to be discovered in Sicily, you're going to have to at times. Why not make the six-minute drive to Marzamemi to explore a picturesque fishing village, or visit one of the area's most beautiful beaches, San Lorenzo? It's only a fifteen-minute walk. We have a funny feeling you're going to like it here.

With sweeping views across the sea and of Mount Etna, this apartment has two balconies – one for sunbathing and evening cocktails, the other for morning coffees. Here you'll be in the very heart of Taormina, just steps from the Greek theatre, Palazzo Corvaja, restaurants and boutiques, with cable car access to the beaches below. Inside, it's bright and homely, perfectly sized for a group of four. We particularly love the living space in a glass conservatory, accessed via an external spiral staircase. Whether you're here to explore or unwind, this spot puts you in prime position to do both.

A dreamy stay awaits at this modern villa. The location is perfect for exploring Sicily – Fontane Bianche Beach is just 80 metres away, and Syracuse is a thirty-minute drive. Back home, you'll be spoilt for choice in the amenities department. Take your pick between an infinity pool with sea views and a shallow relaxation pool, or unwind in the two Jacuzzis – one is on the roof terrace, the other just off the main suite. There's also a poolside bar, a massage cabana (you can hire a massage therapist for a fee), and an outdoor cinema area. Factor in the contemporary interiors and it's no surprise it caught our eye.

Bianche Beauty

Overlooking the glimmering blue of the Ionian Sea, this charming whitewashed villa boasts a prime location, plenty of outdoor space, and chic interiors. You’ll have plenty of peace and privacy here: the house is surrounded by 4000m2 of manicured gardens, which lead down to a large outdoor pool and plenty of deck chairs for relaxing in after a refreshing dip. Large whitewashed pillars support the covered terrace that wraps around the house. Fire up the audio system while you make drinks and snacks in the outdoor kitchen, or throw some meats on the barbecue for an alfresco lunch. 

The rooms inside are characterised by high ceilings and dark wooden beams that contrast with the whitewashed walls. Sleek, minimalist furniture is compounded by statement pieces: we love the sunken living area with the towering ultramarine ornamental fireplace. The villa is just 50 metres from the sea, and there are beautiful sandy beaches within easy reach. 

From the villa you are well placed to explore Sicily’s delights: the baroque town of Noto and Syracuse are both a twenty-five minute drive away, while the hamlet of Fontane Bianche is on your doorstep: home to beach bars, laidback restaurants and local shops.

Villa Oltremare

If you’re seeking a stylish spot for a Sicilian stay, this apartment doesn't disappoint. Your host owns four apartments in this building, so the photos can guide your expectations, though each is similar in style. There are communal outdoor areas to enjoy, so you can make the most of downtime and drinks alfresco. The kitchen is on the minimal side, so you’ll only be able to prepare simpler dishes – that said, you’ll want to maximise your time out sampling the local cuisine. And when you’re ready to explore, you’ve got Noto Cathedral, Baroque landmarks and gelaterias on your doorstep.

Noto Oasis

With its mesmerising views and contemporary design, this home will captivate you from the moment of arrival. Outside, leisurely days can be spent relaxing by the private pool. There is also a terrace with a barbecue and plenty of spots to sit back and gaze at the horizon. Housekeeping is included in your stay and you will receive a welcome basket with breakfast items for your first day. Your host can also help organise a range of sweet extras – including private chefs and airport transfers. It’s worth noting you will need a car to get around here, but it’s just 4 kilometres to Giardini Naxos beach, while the centre of Taormina is 7 kilometres away.

Right next to the shimmering azure waters of the south Sicilian coast – mere steps away from the beachfront – this gorgeous two-bedroom villa awaits its next lucky guests. Step inside and you’ll find sea-coloured tiles, modern furnishing and a cosy atmosphere – but it’s the exterior that truly dazzles. Here you'll be greeted by a large outdoor dining table, perfect for alfresco dinners at sunset, then go down a couple of steps to reach your own private salt pool. Surrounded by sun loungers, umbrellas and a chill-out nook perfect for a casual chat over a cocktail, once you’re here, you won’t want to leave this spot.

 Villa Sun

Out-of-this-world vistas take centre stage at this former watchtower overlooking the glistening bay of Isola Bella. Expertly converted with design-savvy interiors, the three-storey home takes full advantage of its stunning location. There's a charming balcony off the free-flowing living area – the perfect spot for your morning coffee. But take it from us – the view is best admired from the private roof terrace, with a hot tub perfectly placed to take in the infinite horizon. Ready to explore? You're just a short walk from the beach and cable car to Taormina's old town for alfresco dining and people-watching in the central piazza. 

Mediterranean Sundae

For a central Taormina apartment, look no further. This bright and cheerful home is right in the centre of Taormina, just a few steps from the main street. You can spend your days exploring medieval churches, shops, and restaurants, all right on your doorstep. Best of all, when you return to the apartment you’ll be able to drink in wonderful sea views from the terrace. Sip cocktails in the sunshine as you watch the world pass by, three floors below. Given its central location, you might want to pack earplugs – you’re in the thick of things here.
