About this property

Vacation penthouse in the heart of Taormina, just steps from the Duomo

Just a short distance from Piazza del Duomo and Corso Umberto, this penthouse apartment enjoys a unique location and is strategically situated to allow guests to fully appreciate the vibrant life of Taormina’s historic town centre, its nearby beaches, and an exclusive shopping experience. Its balconies and large terrace offer incomparable panoramic views, stretching from the Greco-Roman theatre to the medieval castle of Taormina, from the cathedral to the village of Castelmola perched atop the cliff, and all the way to the deep-blue Ionian Sea, with the peak of Mount Etna in the background.

The living area is divided into two interconnected units, featuring a large living room and a fully equipped kitchen, 4 double bedrooms, 1 single bedroom, 1 sofa bed in a secondary living room, three bathrooms, and a laundry room. The numerous windows (all equipped with Venetian blinds and shutters) maximise natural light and allow fresh air into the rooms, creating a bright, uplifting environment—just right for the perfect holiday atmosphere.

The rooftop terrace, offering breathtaking views of the sea, and a large private sun deck, enclosed on one side by a wooden porch, is the ideal spot for al fresco dining.

Parking is not included; the nearest public car park, called “Porta Catania,” is located about 300 metres away.

Just around the corner....

Corso Umberto, the main pedestrian street in central Taormina. Boutiques, bars, restaurants, and trattorias; luxury hotels. Supermarket. Covered public parking.

Within a thirty-minute walk:

Piazza IX Aprile, the Greek-Roman Theatre, Palazzo Corvaja, and the cable car to the beaches of Mazzarò and Isola Bella.

An hour’s drive away:

Mount Etna, Sicily’s most famous attraction. Savoca (the village where “The Godfather” was filmed). Alcantara River Natural Park. The city of Catania. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Syracuse and the late-Baroque towns of the Noto Valley. Catania Vincenzo Bellini Airport (53 km).

Perfect location, perfect view

Spent 7 nights with our 4 adult children and 90 year old Mom and Dad. Location easy for my parents to explore. Rooftop is a gem. Great views of Mt Etna. Well equipped kitchen for cooking as well. Close to grocery and main shopping. Loved it. Manager Anne also very helpful.

Beyond the beyond experience

Birthday trip, me +7 friends. This property was so past what I expected. Space, location, natural beauty. Spent 13 days here, truly felt at home. The first time I entered the 3rd floor terrace, I had tears in my eyes, a beautiful world. This villa, like Taormina itself has a lot of stairs, beware with luggage, groceries. Enjoy!

We loved this apartment. We took both of the units for our group of 8 (my husband and our 4 adult children plus 2 and it was excellent. The location is amazing and the views from the roof are as good or better than any rooftop bar in Taormina. The house is impeccably clean and comfy and while we were nervous about noise, it wasn’t a problem most nights. We took the apartment that didn’t face the restaurants and it was perfect while we left the “noisier” side for our kids. They did say that Friday night and Saturday night were noisy until about 2 AM, otherwise sleeping the rest of the week was comfortable. The manager, Anne, was absolutely lovely and available for any needs, including meeting a technician for a hot water issue that was resolved. I would definitely recommend this property.
