Sitting just 20 metres from the sandy beach at Mazzarò, this apartment in Taormina puts the Ionian Sea at your door rather than a short drive away. Mazzarò Beach is a three-minute walk on foot, Isola Bella a ten-minute stroll, and a diving centre is 100 metres down the road for anyone tempted to go deeper. Back on the terrace, you can watch boats drift across the cove as the light fades – a good reason to linger over an evening drink rather than head straight back inside.
