Villa Sienna is a breath-taking historic 6-bedroom property located in the centre of Taormina, Sicily. This stunning property which in the past played host to King Edward VIII of England, Hollywood stars, intellectuals, and politicians alike, can now, after careful restoration, be the site of an unforgettable Italian escape. This stunning villa is one of the most incredible properties we have on offer in Sicily , with an unparalleled location, majestic views, and historic charm. The blend of modern comforts and old-world glamour makes this property the perfect getaway for even the most discerning of guests.
The property makes a dramatic impact from the moment you drive onto the grounds. The Liberty-style villa is encompassed by a manicured private park and panoramic terrace overlooking Isola Bella, a small azure bay sometimes known as the Pearl of the Ionian Sea. A stunning infinity pool with a whirlpool corner was added during the last renovation and is a beautiful spot to sit out in the afternoon, admiring the ocean views. There is a stylish pool deck where you can lie out, basking in the glorious midday heat, reading a book, or working on your suntan.
Aside from the pool and the pool deck, there are several areas in the garden designed for you and your guests to enjoy, be it lounging with a glass of wine in the afternoon, dining al fresco, or indulging in the wonderful Italian concept of pleasant idleness known as “dolce far niente”. Having various outdoor seating options is perfect for a group of friends or couples traveling together, looking to benefit from some independence during the day.
The villa boasts sophisticated social spaces that are perfectly designed to create a welcoming and harmonious atmosphere and are perfectly appointed for entertaining. There is a cozy library with an impressive working fireplace where you can enjoy a quiet moment or catch up on work if necessary. There is a formal drawing room with an adjacent smaller sitting room and a comfortable living room, all brimming with exquisite antiques, custom furniture, luxurious fabrics, as well as impressive heirlooms, artifacts, and wall art belonging to the villa’s aristocratic owners’ private collection. Each of the rooms opens out onto the stunning terrace, allowing you and your guests to maximize your time outdoors in the glorious weather and flow seamlessly between the spaces.
There is an elegant dining room where you and your family can share formal sit-down meals in the evening. If you don’t feel like spending your whole holiday cooking, a private chef can be organized to prepare a spread of the best food in Italy for you and your guests to savour at home on the evenings you don’t feel like venturing out.
