Villa Sant'Andrea, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina Mare

Old-world glamour meets beachside bliss at Villa Sant'Andrea. Sitting pretty on Mazzarò Bay, this former aristocratic residence boasts a picturesque pebbled beach. Sink into a sun-dappled seat and relax in the subtropical gardens, get back to nature at Isola Bella, just steps away, or hop on a courtesy shuttle to Taormina and Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo. When you're not savouring gelato or soaking up the views from the infinity pool, you'll find the magnificent Mount Etna on your doorstep.
