Villa Angela

Perched above Taormina’s historic centre, this boutique escape has spectacular views of Mount Etna and the enticing Ionian Sea. It’s just a 10-minute walk from the town centre, which is home to the iconic Greek Theatre and charming cobbled streets. And for any Simple Minds super fans, you'll get a real kick out of the fact that Jim Kerr owns this place, having fallen in love with these idyllic surroundings in the early 80s. 

And it's not hard to see why. The setting is peaceful, perfect for unwinding after exploring the lively town below. The pool area is where you can soak up the sun and picture-perfect views. Taormina itself is a treasure trove of history and natural beauty. Wander the Arab-Norman landmarks or take the cable car to the beach in just 10 minutes. Don’t miss Isola Bella, a stunning nature reserve connected to the mainland by a sandy causeway, perfect for a day of exploring or relaxing.
