Hotel Villa Sant’Andrea, Taormina

Hotel Villa Sant’Andrea

The famed slice of Italian heaven known as Sicily provides a picturesque setting for the Villa Sant’Andrea, a sumptuous property for vacationers who want all the luxury of a chic resort without the overexposure. Built in the 1830s for English aristocrats who recognized the area’s magnificence, the Villa manages to retain the feel of a private residence while also creating a world-class escape for visitors.

The Villa Sant’Andrea provides two distinct yet equally delightful backdrops: it’s nestled into a lush park and also offers guests a private beach on the stunning Bay of Mazzaro. Throw in two elegant bars and an inspired restaurant, and there’s no need to venture off of this stylish Orient-Express property. However, if you wish to journey into town, it’s a mere three minutes by way of the charming cable car at Mazzaro.

The 65 rooms and suites reflect the Villa’s history by offering a refined yet unstuffy English ambience. Most rooms enjoy views of the beach and boast a lovely terrace ideal for a leisurely breakfast or afternoon tea. Inside, you’ll find marble bathrooms, plush amenities, and sophisticated furnishings. The suites are true indulgences, with dressing gowns, separate tubs and showers, and the latest technologies.

Settle in for an unforgettable dining experience at Oliviero Restaurant, which specializes in exquisitely fresh seafood and regional dishes that showcase the bright flavours of the Mediterranean. Vistas provided by the sand and glittering water are just as captivating as the menu. The Colapesce Bar on the terrace and the indoor Poisedone Bar both deliver similarly fantastic sea views, as well as delicious cocktails and Champagne.

Among the enchanting aspects of the Villa Sant’Andrea is its private beach, located on the legendary Bay Mazzaro. Guests can choose to unwind on the comfortable, umbrella-shaded lounge chairs with a cold drink or take a more active approach by swimming in the wonderfully clear waters. Underwater caves and intriguing marine life provide plenty of encouragement for divers.

Special events are made even more special when they take place at Villa Sant’Andrea. The highly-trained professional planners make small gatherings or large parties feel equally at home, turning the two terraces and three lovely salons into venues perfect for the occasion. While the romance of the resort is especially suited for social events, business meetings receive the same personalized attention and commitment to success. In addition to the services provided by planners and secretarial assistants, you can request equipment such as projectors, screens, flip-charts, and other audio-visual tools.
