The Facilities

The hotel is set into the rocky headland at Capotaormina and therefore the rooms are situated below the reception, accessed by a lift which then takes guests down into a grotto that leads to a private pebble beach overlooking the bay of Isola Bella where sunbeds, parasols and towels are provided.

Nestled into the rocks and connected to the beach via the lit grotto are a seawater swimming pool and 14 seat jacuzzi set amongst the rocks on the water's edge. There are steps for those wishing to swim in the sea and there is a restaurant and bar open throughout the day.

Due to its seafront location, Capotaormina offers a variety of boat trips, deep sea fishing and motorboat rental (all extra cost). There is also a beauty centre offering beauty treatments, gym with trainers and the reception can organise a shuttle up to the town, tennis (3km) and golf (30km), babysitting, room service (7:30am - 12pm) and excursions to explore the local area (all extra cost). Garage/car parking is available (extra cost).

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.
