The Residence consists of five cottages, previously small farm buildings which have been completely refurbished and equipped with every possible convenience and are strategically located for those wishing to visit the Taormina area of Eastern Sicily. The estate is situated in the centre of an extensive cultivation of citrus fruit and olive groves, only few minutes from the sea (Isola Bella, Mazzarò, Giardini Naxos and Taormina). The owner of the estate has taken great pains to preserve the place's historical integrity during the restoration work and refurbishing of the old farm buildings. Meanwhile, the view to Mount Etna and the vicinity of the sea contribute to making the Residence an enchanting place for a vacation. Each cottage has its own individual patio with cane covering and creepers and equipped with outdoor seats and table, where you can enjoy meals, read and meditate.
