In a breathtaking position overlooking the bay of Isola Bella and surrounded by
a centuries-old park in the hilltop town of Taormina is stunning Villa Isolabella.
Built in the second half of the 19th century, quality and timeless elegance are
in every example of superior craftsmanship throughout the villa’s expansive
interior.
This air of nobility and excellence attracted acting and music royalty to enjoy
lavish stays at Villa Isolabella – as well as actual English royalty itself. Feel the
sense of history as you follow in the footsteps of the revered and the regal
through the series of interconnected lounge rooms and sprawling outside
grounds.
The villa is set over two floors and sleeps up to 12 guests in total comfort and
luxury. On the ground floor is a choice of two living spaces to suit all
occasions. Whatever your mood, you’ll find impeccable style and fine antiques
the perfect backdrop for relaxing or entertaining. There’s also a library for
times of quieter reflection and unwinding with a good book in front of the
beautiful fireplace.
Gourmet delights can be cooked up in the kitchen for unforgettable mealtimes
in the main dining room; a grand space in which to dine by soft candlelight. All
of the ground floor rooms offer access to outside areas; bringing close the sea
views and enchanting atmosphere of the gardens.
Villa Isolabella’s six exquisite double bedrooms are all upstairs and therefore
offer clear views of either the sea or the lush surroundings. Each bedroom has
been tastefully furnished with antique pieces, sumptuous fabrics and modern
conveniences to make them impossibly comfortable retreats after long days.
All of the bedrooms are en-suite, with two featuring a jacuzzi bath for
particularly indulgent bathing.
The outside grounds that encircle the villa are simply spectacular. Bordered
with exotic plants and trees, a grand courtyard is home to a lounge area for
pre-dinner drinks on typically balmy evenings. Several other seating areas can
be found dotted around the extensive terraced gardens, meaning there’s
always a spot to while away a few idyllic hours. The sea views from these
areas are magnificent, with those from the infinity pool being the best of all.
There’s also a covered dining table and barbecue for laidback al fresco meals.
The hill that Villa Isolabella nestles on sweeps down to the coast with its beaches and hidden coves. Swim in the azure sea or soak up the tranquility of
the area by simply relaxing on the sand. Explore the island of Isola Bella with
its picturesque nature reserve. Stroll into the heart of popular Taormina to
discover ancient ruins and chic café culture.
