Property info

Just 12 km from Taormina, our property is located in Santa Teresa di Riva (Messina), a charming town on the Sicilian Ionian Riviera that boasts one of the most beautiful and cleanest beaches in Sicily—proudly holding the official "Bandiera Blu" (Blue Flag) certification since 2017. Situated just 50 meters from the beach, we offer direct booking and exclusive discounted rates at our partner beach club. On-site, you will find our fully integrated restaurant, rotisserie, pizzeria, pastry shop, and bar, allowing you to experience the rich food and wine traditions of the region and authentic Catania-style delicacies.

Neighborhood info

The Ionian Coast is not just about sun and sand; it is rich in culture and nature. In our immediate surroundings, you can explore the historic medieval villages of Forza d'Agrò and Savoca (famous filming locations for The Godfather). Just a few kilometers away lies Taormina, the "Pearl of the Ionian Sea," and Isola Bella. You can easily visit Messina to see the Cathedral Bell Tower featuring the largest and most complex astronomical clock in the world, or explore the mythological towns of the "Aci Coast" (the stunning Baroque architecture of Acireale, the iconic sea stacks of Aci Trezza from the famous novel I Malavoglia, and the Norman castle in Aci Castello). Catania's vibrant Piazza Duomo, the iconic "Liotru" elephant statue, and the magnificent Baroque Cathedral of Sant'Agata are also easily accessible. For nature lovers, our on-site concierge service can coordinate excursions to Mount Etna, the Peloritani and Nebrodi mountains, and the breathtaking Alcantara Gorges.
