Luxury hotel in Sicily

Exteriors

Palazzo del Mare sits in a breathtaking bay in Taormina, whose colours do not merely rival but surpass anything Cézanne ever painted.
This luxury hotel in Sicily, warmed by the sun, refreshed and caressed by the marine breeze makes a perfect spot for unforgettable holidays.
Taormina has been unique since the Greeks times. Every space tells its thousand year history.
Traces of history abound in the city held in power by the Greeks, the Romans, the Arabs, the Normans, the Swedes, and the Spanish, intertwining periods of splendour and fight, of revolt and stability. There is no better starting spot to absorb the beauty of Sicily than Taormina.
Guests can go sightseeing to the Aeolian islands, Agrigento, Piazza Armerina with its Roman mosaics, Alcantara Gorges and to the 3300-metre high Etna, watchful, legendary, imposing on the landscape. Catania, half-an-hour drive away, is the largest city in Sicily, of eclectic styles mingling baroque, medieval, ancient, that have mixed and overlapped after nature ‘s destructive power fell on it and its people devoted themselves to start again. It is a city filled with art, music and theatres, to be enjoyed day and night. Syracuse, half-an-hour away, dates back to the times of battles against Carthage, Athens and Rome, inspiring wonder for its beauty and mythology. It is a jewel of baroque monuments and theatre life.
This luxury hotel in Sicily is set 200 metres away from the cableway connecting Taormina Mare and the town centre: taking you to the renowned Greek theatre, the gothic style fortress-like cathedral with Arab-style carved ceiling, the church of Saint Pancras, the city’s  patron,  a 16th century temple housing multicoloured marble Taormina stone and a  precious fresco. Other must-sees are the Regional and Archaeological Museum, the small antiques museum and the Sicilian Museum of Art and Folk Traditions housing pieces of handicraft art ranging from the 16 to 20th century.
Corso Umberto I is home to high fashion boutiques, jewellery, souvenir and handicraft shops.  The city is renowned for its marble inlay and inlaid stone skilled artisans and their artful furniture and décor. In Piazza Carmine there is a small market during the summer offering local food, wines specialities and handicrafts.
This luxury hotel in Sicily affords a private beach, where guest will pamper themselves with water sports or their favourite cocktail under the warm sun of Taormina. For those who adore golf, Piccolo Golf Club (40 minutes away) is set in an unsurpassed setting of beauty watched over by the Etna.
