About this property
Villa Tauromenium is a contemporary 4-bedroom villa in eastern Sicily, accommodating up to 8 guests. Located close to Taormina in a sunny hillside setting, lush Mediterranean gardens surround the property and offers sweeping views of the sea, countryside, and Mount Etna. Designed with sustainability in mind, the villa features solar-thermal and photovoltaic systems, thermal-break windows, and an advanced heating-cooling setup.
The interior spans three levels and blends clean-lined modern design with expansive open-plan spaces. The ground floor houses a fully equipped kitchen and a spacious living area with full-height glass doors that open onto panoramic terraces, an infinity pool, and an al fresco dining area. The first floor comprises three double bedrooms, each with en-suite shower rooms and access to a private patio. The lower level includes a fourth en-suite bedroom and a private wellness area, complete with a sauna, Turkish bath, emotional shower, fitness zone, and hot tub.

Ideally situated for exploring the region, the villa offers easy access to the beaches of Fondachello and Giardini Naxos, the dramatic landscapes of Etna, and cultural gems such as Catania, Syracuse, and the Baroque towns of the Val di Noto.
Villa Tauromenium enjoys an enviable location in eastern Sicily, just outside the historic town of Taormina. Nestled on the slopes of Mount Etna, this area offers a rich blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and culinary delights. The villa is perfectly positioned to explore some of Sicily’s most iconic attractions. Within a short drive, guests can reach the beautiful beach of Fondachello, ideal for swimming and sunbathing, or the cosmopolitan streets of Taormina, known for its ancient Greek theatre, upscale boutiques, and vibrant dining scene.
Nature enthusiasts can venture up Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano, for hiking, guided tours, or wine tastings at local vineyards. To the south, Catania’s Baroque architecture and bustling markets provide a taste of authentic Sicilian urban life. Further afield, the unesco-listed towns of the Val di Noto – including Noto, Modica, and Ragusa – showcase exquisite Baroque splendour.
Visitors can also explore the archaeological wonders of Syracuse and the protected coastline of the Vendicari Nature Reserve. Local traditions are deeply rooted in everyday life, from seasonal festivals to family-run trattorias serving dishes like pasta alla Norma, arancini, and cannoli. With such a wealth of sights and flavours nearby, Villa Tauromenium is a superb base for a memorable Sicilian escape.
