How to book a holiday letting in Taormina, Sicily

Taormina, on the north-eastern coast of Sicily, is nestled on the side of the hill in the Monte Tauro against the backdrop of Mount Etna, Europe's highest active volcano. Taormina overlooks sweeping bays below, and has been the subject of numerous paintings and photographs, with artists captivated by the resort's enchanting beauty. Since the first hotel opened in 1874, Taormina has been offering an idyllic getaway to visitors, and as a result there are apartments and villas in Taormina to suit all tastes and budgets.

Where you can do anything from scuba-diving to skiing in Sicily, holiday rental accommodation in Taormina will put you in the perfect situation to do both as the nearest blissful beach is within walking distance of many holiday villas and apartments in Taormina and the ski resorts on Mount Etna are close enough to this charming medievel village that you won't need to travel more than a few miles for a day of snowboarding and skiing. 

Holiday accommodation in Sicily really can offer such exciting diversity and incredible variety when you choose an apartment or villa rental in Taormina, and once you discover that this island is rarely anything but hot and sunny, it would present a complete contrast to enjoy a snowy interlude just a few miles away from Taormina - holiday rental accommodation that would therefore give you the perfect excuse to escape the stresses and strains of hectic urban schedule at any time of the year. 

Where a villa or apartment can be found in a destination that boasts an eclectic culture and a wealth of ancient history, people of all ages will find something that will appeal to their sense of adventure, so for anything from a quietly relaxing break for two to a fun-packed big family holiday, accommodation in Taormina has a vacation to suit everyone.

The beautiful Mediterranean waters around Taormina allow plenty of opportunity for visitors to take part in water sports including scuba-diving and snorkelling, sailing, fishing, wind-surfing and canoeing.

For those who would prefer to take it easy, the Picciolo Golf Club offers a fantastic 18-hole course just outside of the town. Alternatively, visitors may instead prefer to simply relax on the beach in the beautiful Italian sun or grab a coffee in the Piazza IX Aprile and soak up the Italian atmosphere.

Shoppers will be delighted with the choice on the main walking street, Corso Umberto, where some fabulous bargains may be found with pieces by famous Italian designers available at far less than they would be in Milan or Rome.

Those choosing Taormina as the destination for their self-catering break should also visit the numerous sights of note within the town of Taormina itself, including the Teatro Greco, the second largest amphitheatre on Sicily and the Palazzo Corvajo. Also known as the Parliament Building, the Palazzo Corvajo dates back to the Medieval period, and is now home to the Museum of Anthropology, which displays exhibits dating from between the 16th and 19th centuries.

The Villa Communale de Parco Duca di Cesaro is a fine example of a traditional Sicilian villa, and the surrounding tropical gardens are the perfect place to while away a summer afternoon.
