The Local Area

Capotaormina is situated on the headland of the famous Taormina Mare encompassing the picturesque coves of Isola Bella and the bay of Mazzaro. It lies below the main town approximately 3.5km away which can be accessed via a scheduled complimentary hotel shuttle.

Taormina is on the north east coast of Sicily enjoying stunning views across the Straits of Messina to the Italian mainland and also to Mount Etna. It is a very cosmopolitan town with excellent shops, designer boutiques, restaurants and café bars lining cobbled streets and alleys high above the picturesque beaches below.

There are several historic attractions including the Greek Theatre which draws artists and tourists from all over the world. The ancient Greeks chose the most spectacular location for their theatre and centuries later, it remains one of the world's most exciting venues.

Taormina is a truly enchanting part of Sicily with the town being rich in atmosphere, history and culture with local delicacies and festivals to experience, while the coastline is enveloped by panoramic views and pretty coves, making Taormina a truly must-visit destination.
