Villa Sant’Andrea, A Belmond Hotel

Set on its own exclusive beach, beside one of the most beautiful coastlines in all of Italy, Villa Sant’Andrea, A Belmond Hotel overlooks the aquamarine sea.

Built by an aristocratic family in 1830 among lush, subtropical gardens, this Orient-Express secluded retreat retains all the charm of a private residence.

Settle into a sun-dappled seat and relax. Then, when action calls, a cable car whisks you in just three minutes to the centre of Taormina, with its many cultural attractions and sophisticated shopping scene.

Famous for its fresh seafood specialities, Restaurant Oliviero offers traditional Mediterranean cuisine enhanced by innovative and imaginative twists. The menu is based on regional dishes which use the freshest seasonal, local produce. Oliviero’s location is hard to match: it is set on a panoramic terrace with spectacular views of the Bay of Mazzarò and the Calabrian coast, and exudes a refined and elegant atmosphere.
