Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay at Baya Bella! This is a truly unique property where the views sit center stage from almost every corner of the house. With 10 very spacious suites, no one in our group compromised on accommodations. There were 17 of us, and we never felt like we were on top of each other. And, with so many living spaces and outdoor decks and terraces, everyone could find their spot.
There are 4 kitchens, which collectively are way more than anyone needs from a cooking and entertaining perspective. Having said that, the villa arranged for a private chef that cooked delicious Sicilian meals for us four of our evenings... Highly recommend this!!
The location is well situated for the beach and up to Taormina. The road is very steep, however, so elderly people in our group needed to be driven. The good news is that the house has an elevator, so it works for a multi-generational family.
Finally, sunrise at this house is perhaps unparalleled anywhere else. It's an experience most of us did each morning! Thank you to John and his family for opening up this wonderful property to rent... we hope to be fortunate enough to come back again.
