VILLA SANT’ANDREA, A BELMOND HOTEL

GLAMOROUS RETREAT ON THE SICILIAN COAST

Built by an aristocratic family in 1830, today Villa Sant’Andrea is the most glamorous retreat on the Sicilian coast, just below the historic hill-town of Taormina.

Include Belmond’s Villa Sant’Andrea in your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Italy, and you’ll be able to spend your days lounging on a private beach in the sun-drenched Bay of Mazzaro. Nearly all the rooms and suites overlook these dreamy cobalt waters, as does the al fresco spa where guests are offered treatments drawing on fragrant orange flowers and sandalwood. The dining experience is equally enticing, with restaurants right at the water’s edge and menus that showcase classic regional cuisine.

It’s only a three-minute cable car ride into the centre of Taormina, where you’ll find wonderful, family-run restaurants and a sophisticated shopping scene.
