Hotel Villa Bianca Resort

Views across the ocean and of the striking Mazzaro Bay make this hotel a really special place to stay. Boasting an envied location in the heart of the bay, it is the perfect place to enjoy time spent on the beach, soaking up the sun and winding down to the laid back lifestyle of the Sicilians. The hotel is found on the edge of the historical town of Taormina, which is easily accessed from the nearby cable car station.

Below the hotel sits the charming sandy bay, which can be reached via a short downhill walk. Sun beds and umbrellas are available for hire, and you can try activities such as scuba diving and snorkeling on this beautifully rugged section of the coast. The hotel is perched on different levels of the cliff face, with two roof gardens and sun terraces providing superb views across the area. Guests are welcome to use the outdoor swimming pool at the Hotel Ipanema, which is found around 150 metres away.
