Beyond fantastic and well deserving of more than "just" a 5-star rating! Our stay at the Villa has been exceptional from the very moment we were warmly greeted by Carmello to the moment we saw the immaculate room with every possible need catered to (including flip-flops for the pool in a perfect his and her size :P ). Not to mention the sensational breakfast spread prepared by the forever smiling Valentina! The best breakfast we've had in Sicily, hands down (thank you!)! The location itself is simply superb with views of the bay AND Mt. Etna. The pool area overlooks the town and the bay and makes for a very luxurious feel; yet the Villa is not too big, so it retains a nice intimate/cozy feel which we appreciated. It is also located by the La Rocca (can be reached by foot within 5-7 min) and the famous "stair-street" down into the city center. While the stairs were a bit of a workout (coming back up) we still didn't find them inconvenient or arduous. We were down by the main Old Gate within 10-15 min walk and having those sensational views in the evening at sunset at the Villa were well worth the short climb back up :D Highly recommend this place to anyone passing by Taormina!!!!
