A lofty and luxurious Roman-style villa, Bella Bay will first impress you with its welcoming natural light and golden details that evoke the spirit of the centuries. The area around Taormina has been a sought-after vacation spot for millennia, and when you feast your eyes on the clear blue seas near the edge of your private pool, you'll quickly understand why. As if the pool, the antiques, and the cricket song from the garden weren't enough, Bella Bay also boasts a jacuzzi under a breezy baldachin for when it gets chilly in the evenings. So grab a drink, dine outdoors, and simply relax in any of the multitudes of spaces in this home built for nothing but leisure. And with one of the bedrooms stationed in the annexe building separate from the main villa, it presents an idyllic set-up for guests seeking a little extra privacy, travelling with in-laws or even a nanny. Just a few minutes' drive away, discover the beaches of Letojanni, Mazzarò and Isola Bella. Meanwhile, the villages of Catania and Syracuse and the slopes of Mount Etna can also be reached by car.
