Position

Built in 1830 amidst lush subtropical gardens, this hotel is a secluded retreat that retains all the charm of a private residence. To move around in complete freedom, a cable car takes you in just three minutes to the center of Taormina, with its numerous cultural attractions and the finest shopping.
