Hotel Villa Esperia, Taormina - Sicily hotel booking

Hotel Villa Esperia, Taormina

Blue skies, sandy beaches and the warm Ionian Sea - this Taormina hotel puts you near to the beach on this lovely coastal spot of eastern Sicily. The Hotel Villa Esperia is in one of the most lovely areas around Taormina, between the Bay of Mazzaro and the Bay of Sirens. And lying as it does just 100 metres from the cable car that runs up to the historic centre of the town, you are just minutes away from the superb restaurants, shopping and historic sights of Taormina itself.

If you don't want to spend a day on the beach ... no problem. The hotel has an open-air swimming pool (with superb Mediterranean weather like this who would want to be inside_ with panoramic views onto the sea. There are sun terraces, a garden, garaging for your car, and a super restaurant offering traditional Sicilian and international cuisine.

When it comes to seeing the sights, essentials include the Teatro Greco of course, which despite the name is largely Roman in construction. For 2000 years and more this amphitheatre has hosted open-air entertainments (once gladiators, now theatre and musical concerts), and it makes a spectacular setting, clinging to the side of Mount Tauro with the Ionian Sea glittering blue far below. Dominating the horizon is the enormous smouldering hulk of Mount Etna.

All rooms at this Taormina hotel are sprucely furnished in modern style, with bath or shower, air conditioning, hairdryer, satellite television, refrigerated minibar, phone and hairdryer.
