Baia Taormina Hotel and Spa, Taormina

The Baia Taormina Hotel & Spa, Marina D'Agro. This Taormina hotel sits in a quite lovely position, on a rocky hillside gazing down over the blue waters of the Mediterranean. A very nice mixture of the traditional (and Taormina is a very ancient city of course) with state of the art comforts, this four-star Taormina hotel will make a terrific base for your vacation on Sicily's east coast. From here you can enjoy some of the most breathtaking sunrises you will ever see (if you are up early enough). In the evening, meanwhile, you can relax with a drink from the bar, and savour the cool silence of the sunset.

This is quite an inaccessible spot, and creating an hotel here to blend in with the typical Sicilian landscape was no mean feat. But it has been achieved with some style, with the hotel's graceful pergolas and arches, its facings of locally quarried stone, and its handmade brick and terracotta. In total, it adds rather than detracts from the natural environment of this beautiful stretch of eastern Sicilian coastline. This Taormina hotel has two swimming pools, one of them filled with sea water. There is a fully equipped gymnasium, a beauty centre with hydromassage, massage, sauna and a Turkish bath.

Bedrooms at this Taormina hotel are doubles and suites, all with minibar, bathroom with bath and shower, balcony, safe, radio, hairdryer, satellite TV and air conditioning. Ask about the special packages, pulling in a range of soothing and healing therapies such as Californian anti-stress massage, Aromatic Beauty Touch and more. The restaurant offers the beat in traditional Sicilian cuisine and there is a superb wine list.
