The Villa Zagara Garden was a nice place to stay while in Taormina. Massimo greeted us and his assistant Roberto checked us in easily. The view out to the ocean was lovely and the pool was great to have. Be aware that the terrace in front of villa is a public access way to the shared pool so it is not as private as we had thought. Also the third bedroom to the side was booked with other guests though they had a separate entrance was a little awkward as they were smokers and their door though locked is connected to the hallway upstairs so some smoke seeped under the door. I just rolled up a towel and placed it at the bottom of the door. Parking can be a tight fit in the spaces on the street. When renting a car get the smallest vehicle possible as it will make it easier navigating the narrow road to and from the Villa. The kitchen was well equipped and functional with staples such as salt, pepper, oil, and coffee provided. Walking to and from Taormina requires a bit of walking up some stairs but manageable if one is fit and mobile. Daily housekeeping is provided. Overall, it was a pleasant place in Taormina as we were exploring the Eastern side of Sicily.
