  • Beautiful beachside location close to cable car for links up to Taormina
  • Heated outdoor swimming pool with views of Bay of Mazzarò

Wonderfully situated on the Bay of Mazzarò, the deluxe Villa Sant'Andrea, A Belmond Hotel enjoys an enchanting beach location just a short stroll from the cable car linking Mazzarò to Taormina.

Built in the early 19th century as the private residence of a distinguished English family and subsequently extended, the villa still retains much of its original character and aristocratic charm with antique furnishings and paintings adding to its comfort and elegance. It has recently been renovated and now boasts an outdoor heated swimming pool, which overlooks the enchanting bay of Mazzaró and provides an ideal setting for a relaxing day.

During the summer, meals may be taken outside on the pretty terrace, where there is also an open-air bar overlooking the hotel's private beach. Ristorante Sant'Andrea is a wonderful venue for a romantic candlelit dinner and, after dinner, head to the large terrace where you can enjoy those long balmy Sicilian evenings sipping prosseco and listening to piano music.

The hotel has 64 rooms (official rating 5 star). Child prices apply to ages 2-11 years.

About the location

Holidays in Taormina marry history and culture to form an unforgettable experience in Italy. It’s perched at the top of Monte Tauro in the foothills of Mount Etna on Sicily’s Eastern coastline, between the cities of Catania and Messina. This ancient town offers visitors a view into the past with a number of elegantly preserved historic treasures, from the grand Greek-Roman Theatre to the equally impressive Palazzo Corvaja, which are just waiting to be discovered.

You don’t have to be a history buff to make the most of everything Taormina has to offer. Alongside the historical sights there are plenty of other attractions to take in. The main street, Corso Umberto, is traffic free and home to an array of shops and restaurants to rival any in the bigger cities.

There are also plenty of seaside activities to dive into thanks to the town’s coastal setting. Adventurous travellers can try watersports like wind surfing and snorkelling, while relaxing scenic boat tours around the gorgeous capes and grottos of the Ionian Sea allow you to explore at your own pace. Alternatively, simply spend long tranquil days on sun soaked shingle beaches.

Transfer time

The hotel is 50 minutes from Catania airport. Return private transfers included. To change your transfers or book car hire instead, simply call us once you’ve completed your booking.
