fascinations of Sicily<br />

Only twenty minutes from Taormina with<br />

its famous amphitheatre and colourful<br />

streets and yet hidden away from the<br />

outside world, <strong>Villa</strong> Pietrapiercata<br />

provides the opportunity for a very real<br />

Sicilian experience on this island rich in<br />

culture and history.<br />

Having followed the long drive up the hill<br />

one finally reaches the princely family<br />

home surounded by lush vegetation.<br />

Stepping inside one finds typical Sicilian<br />

ninteenth centruy furnishings and objets<br />

d’art combined with many modern<br />

up-to-date fittings in the bathrooms<br />

and bedrooms. The spacious sitting/<br />

dining room with its ornate fireplace<br />

and comfortable traditional furnishings<br />

leads onto the fabulous large oval terrace.<br />

Pine trees surround the terrace on which<br />

there is a working stone font – the perfect<br />

setting from an evening aperitivo watching<br />

the flaming Etna volcano as well as dinner<br />

on those warm balmy Sicilian evenings.<br />

On the lower floor the bedrooms and<br />

bathrooms have been recently restored<br />

providing every comfort required with<br />

can enjoy stunning views to Etna and<br />

the sea. Due to its spectacular position<br />

and historical legacy, Taormina has long<br />

been Sicily’s most popular destination<br />

and the view of a smoking and snowcapped<br />

Mount Etna from the Greek/<br />

Roman theatre is certainly its best known<br />

image. There is also a good selection of<br />

sandy beaches down the hill on the nearby<br />

coast including those at Fiumefreddo and<br />

Marina di Cottone which have received<br />

several consecutive “Bandiere Blu”,<br />

attesting to the cleanliness of the water<br />

and their general ecological excellence.<br />

visiting the north eastern coast of Sicily,<br />

doing spectacular hikes on Mount Etna<br />

and visiting the hill towns of Etna, the<br />

Nebrodi and Peloritani mountain ranges.<br />

Messina, Catania, Siracusa and Noto<br />

and even Reggio Calabria on the Italian<br />

mainland.<br />
