Magnificent Luxury Villa For Sale In Taormina

In beautiful Taormina, an elegant and exclusive resort that is a symbol of tourism in Sicily and visited every year by the international jet set, this extraordinary luxury property overlooking the sea is for sale.

Known since the 1950s and 1960s, years in which it was frequented by actors, famous artists and heads of state attending events and parties, Taormina is the protagonist of a succession of history, culture and curious anecdotes that are intertwined with Sicily’s marvelous natural landscapes and marine beauty.

The villa, frequented over the years by prominent figures on the Italian cultural scene, belonged to a well-known artist, at the time highly regarded and linked to the likes of Ungaretti and Pasolini, who had chosen it so that he could live and work in a heavenly place, far from the chaos.

A harmonious exchange with nature and the sea is experienced year-round both from the outdoor spaces and from the wonderful interiors and amazing terraces on the various levels of the property.

The villa was built in the late 1800s, only to undergo careful restoration and enhancement in the last decade by a well-known Taormina entrepreneur.
