Villa Scimone is a rare sanctuary in the historic heart of Taormina, set on a quiet hillside yet only a short walk from Corso Umberto and the town’s major sights. Surrounded by semi-tropical gardens, this rose-pink villa consists of two independent houses connected by an external staircase and a convenient elevator. Spacious interiors, panoramic terraces and private outdoor lounges create an inviting retreat for families and groups seeking comfort, privacy and a truly privileged location.

The property enjoys one of the most spectacular views in eastern Sicily. Built directly into the rocky slope, the villa overlooks the entire coastline, the shimmering Ionian Sea and the impressive silhouette of Mount Etna. Its elevated swimming pool enhances this experience, offering a dramatic vantage point for relaxing days and scenic evenings outdoors.

Large dining terraces, shaded patios and peaceful garden areas make outdoor living an essential part of the stay. Inside, the villa offers five bedrooms across the two main units, complemented by six bathrooms, generous living spaces and balconies that open onto the surrounding landscape. A separate apartment with its own kitchen and bathroom accommodates an additional 2–3 guests, bringing the total capacity to 16.

Despite its calm setting, Villa Scimone allows guests to enjoy Taormina entirely on foot. Restaurants, cafés, boutiques and the town’s cultural landmarks are only a few minutes away, while the beach of Isola Bella is easily reached by cable car or car. The renowned terrace bars and five-star hotels of Taormina, ideal for sunset aperitivos, are also just a short stroll from the property.

With 1700 sqm of indoor and outdoor space, the villa combines privacy, comfort and authentic Sicilian charm. High-speed fibre internet, air conditioning, central heating, a barbecue area, private parking for three cars and a range of optional services — including chef experiences, cooking classes, wine tastings and bespoke tours — ensure a smooth and tailored stay. Host Micaela Scimone speaks English, Spanish and Italian and is available to assist with local insights and special requests.

Villa Scimone is the ideal choice for travellers who want to explore Taormina by foot while enjoying panoramic views, generous outdoor areas and the comfort of a refined hillside residence.

The beaches of Isola Bella and Mazzarò are easily accessible by car or via the convenient cable car from the town center. Taormina also hosts a variety of cultural events year-round at the renowned Greco-Roman theater, which is the second most important classical theater in Sicily after the theater in Syracuse.
