VILLA SANT’ANDREA, A BELMOND HOTEL

GLAMOROUS RETREAT ON THE SICILIAN COAST

Built by an aristocratic family in 1830, today Villa Sant’Andrea is the most glamorous retreat on the Sicilian coast, just below the historic hill-town of Taormina.

Include Belmond’s Villa Sant’Andrea in your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Italy, and you’ll be able to spend your days lounging on a private beach in the sun-drenched Bay of Mazzaro. Nearly all the rooms and suites overlook these dreamy cobalt waters, as does the al fresco spa where guests are offered treatments drawing on fragrant orange flowers and sandalwood. The dining experience is equally enticing, with restaurants right at the water’s edge and menus that showcase classic regional cuisine.

LUXURIOUS, TAILOR-MADE HOLIDAY TO ITALY

With Villa Sant’Andrea as your base, you could set off with the whole family to explore Europe’s most impressive volcano, Mount Etna, or take a boat along Sicily’s stunning east coast to discover secluded coves and magical grottoes. It’s only a three-minute cable car ride into the centre of Taormina, where you’ll find wonderful, family-run restaurants and a sophisticated shopping scene.

“A TRUSTED CHOICE EVERY TIME”
From start to finish, everything is handled with care and attention, and nothing ever feels like too much trouble. As a solo traveller, I appreciate the consistency- while there is a supplement, the quality of accommodation is never compromised. The escorted tours suit me perfectly, with excellent hotels, knowledgeable guides and the flexibility to opt in or out of the daily programme. With a relaxed pace and time to properly enjoy each destination, it all adds up to a far better experience. While they may be a little more than some group holidays, the smaller, friendly groups and overall quality make it well worth it.
