Tucked three floors below street level in the heart of Taormina, this apartment offers something rare in a busy Sicilian hill town – quiet and seclusion, with the whole of Taormina walkable from the door. Corso Umberto I is eleven minutes on foot, Piazza IX Aprile's Ionian panoramas a similar distance, and Isola Bella's turquoise bay a nineteen-minute stroll. Back inside, a personal jacuzzi makes the end of a long day feel like a reward, and the cave-like calm – only one suite per floor – means you're unlikely to hear another soul.
