Tucked into the hillside of one of Sicily's most beguiling towns, this apartment is a intimate retreat – at basement level, yet with a private hot tub, a balcony overlooking green slopes, and a terrace for slow Sicilian evenings. The calm, considered atmosphere makes it easy to exhale. Taormina's centre is walkable, so the cafes, restaurants, and the ancient Greek Theatre are all within reach without needing a car – though dedicated parking is included if you do bring one.
