Vittorio’s luxury villa is exactly that ! A private retreat with grand space & large deck (with courtyard parking )overlooking the southern bay of Naxos —- photos of interior do not do it justice since it has modern large rooms each with wonderful views(photos only show curtains closed !!) It is a great location for exploring Taormina, beaches (though much too early &cold to swim), surrounding area & Etna. It was easy to navigate by car (& park) in early June before major tourist season . We did not have the opportunity to use the pool but spent time on our expansive deck watching the sea having wine & homemade limoncello (courtesy of welcoming manager Concetto who also checked in daily to see if we needed anything or had questions). We would also recommend the tourist office services In Giardini-Naxos (over Taormina ) with wonderful suggestions of BAR NAZIONALE FOR GRANITA & (warm) BRIOCHE for breakfast (or anytime )& excellent Arancini near the info center, LA DOLCERIA DI G. SINDONO
for CANNOLI & Pasta di Mandorla(an almond paste cookie ) . Be sure to explore newer part of Naxos —southern sandy beach area more spread out & restaurants (ristorante Sea Sound for great fresh fish). In Taormina we had a great dinner also at TISCHI TOSCHI . We hope to return!
