Villa Sant’Andrea, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina Mare
In Our Opinion
If Villa Sant’Andrea had a signature moment, it’s dining at Brizza, the pied-dans-l’eau restaurant where waves lap nearby. The setting is cinematic: candlelight, sea spray, and Sicilian seafood turned into art.
Location
Villa Sant’Andrea is located in Taormina Mare, right along the Bay of Mazzarò, accessible yet tranquilly set apart. It is roughly a 50-minute drive from Catania Airport.
Nearby Attractions:
- Isola Bella – a short walk along the shore.
- Taormina Centre – 1.2 miles, accessible via complimentary shuttle to Grand Hotel Timeo.
- Mazzarò beach, local shops, and waterfront promenades are all steps away.
