Fodor's Expert Review Belmond Villa Sant'Andrea
Via Nazionale 137, Taormina, Sicily, 98039, Italy Fodor's Choice
In a prime location on its own private beach at Taormina Mare, this elegant hotel in a late-1800s villa offers phenomenal views of the water, attentive service, and luxurious and comfortable guest rooms. The main perk is access to a glorious private beach; cabanas are available to rent for a fee. Sparkling off-white guest rooms all have balconies or terraces, most with sea views. There's also a heated infinity pool, a small spa, and a fitness center. A free shuttle service runs to Taormina (about 15 minutes away) every half hour in season, and there are free boat tours in summer.
PROS
- glorious private beach
- flawless service
- free shuttle service to Taormina town
CONS
- limited on-site parking
- spa is small
- pricey food and drinks
