I rented the Lemon Tree villa for my family and friends for our wedding at the Four Seasons in Taormino. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with the owners, Karen and Diego. Because Karen is a wedding planner, we were able to hold a cocktail party for all of our guests when they arrived. All of the food and wines were local. It’s a very short drive to Taormino. The villa was clean, and the owners were very responsive when our guests needed anything. The view from the villa is breathtaking, probably better than the view from Taormino. The villa is large, and everyone has their own apartment so they can spread out. I would highly recommend renting this villa.
We had a big family trip to Sicily (33 with 25 at The Lemon Tree). Plenty of room to accomodate us at The Lemon Tree. Very spacous property and it is ideally situated on the ridge opposite Taormina and Castelmola. Post card views of both towns, the Mediterranean, and Mt. Etna. The fit can hike around the moutain to Castlemola. Salt water pool was awesome. Balcony was perfect for hosting dinners and nighlt unwinding. Bar on premises is amply stocked. Karen and Diego prepared/arranged two of our dinners that were outstanding. We also had them prepare a full breakfast, and then a couple of days of a continental breakfasts. The croissants were outrageous. They had plenty of contacts/referrals to help us arrange day events including a winery visit and a boat outing. They were responsive to any issues that cropped up. It was just an outstanding location and Karen and Diego are the perfect hosts. Best property for a large group that we have been visited, and this is at least our fifth large family trip. I can't say enough good things about Karen and DIego and their property.

About the host
Hosted by Karen Cacopardo
Karen and Diego married in Castelmola, Sicily in 2007 then set about converting a family building into The Lemon Tree Villa. Karen is from the North West of England and is an avid Liverpool fan and Diego was born in Taormina, Sicily but spent most of his life in the UK and is an avid Chelsea fan. A great combination with plenty of love and banter! They live between England and Sicily and over the years have successfully grown The Lemon Tree into a popular location for tourist holiday accommodation in the heart of Sicily. They are on hand to provide information and support throughout your holiday and have contacts for pretty much anything you need!
