Tauromia Aqua

Aqua — A Retreat Suspended Between Sea and Comfort...

Some travel to discover new places, others to truly slow down — at Aqua, you can do both. 70 sqm built around a single idea: total relaxation, with the sea as a thread running through every detail.

At the heart of the sleeping area is the freestanding jacuzzi on a raised platform, with hydromassage, light effects, and a small cascading waterfall — perfect for unwinding after a day exploring Taormina. The double bed with a mattress topper and air conditioning ensure a perfect night's sleep, while design furniture in clean, modern lines completes every corner of the space.

The kitchen, separate and fully equipped — induction hob, oven, a vintage-style SMEG fridge, coffee machine, kettle, toaster — is ready for those who love to cook. And when you don't feel like it? Restaurants, pizzerias, and local bars, the best Taormina has to offer, are just steps from home.

In a separate space, the guest bathroom carries the same refined style: Gessi fixtures and washbasin, Italian design excellence.

On the balcony, the ancient Byzantine Baths of Taormina frame the sea stretching to the horizon — the perfect spot to start the day slowly, or end it with a glass of wine in hand.

Steps from Everything

Aqua puts you right in the heart of Taormina: just 50 meters away is Corso Umberto, the pedestrian street running through town, lined with luxury boutiques, shopping, and historic cafés. From here, a ten-minute walk brings you to the Ancient Theatre, a Greek-Roman theatre from the 3rd century BC with Mount Etna and the sea as its backdrop, and Piazza IX Aprile, Taormina's "living room," with its panoramic terrace overlooking the Bay of Naxos.

If it's the sea you're after, the cable car from the town center takes you in minutes to Isola Bella and Mazzarò Beach, an islet and nature reserve set in crystal-clear waters. About 15 minutes by bus or car, Giardini Naxos awaits with its sandy beach and nightlife, on the coast that was once the first Greek colony in Sicily.

For those wanting to explore inland, the Alcantara Gorges are a 25-30 minute drive away — basalt lava walls carved by the river, among the island's most spectacular natural sites — while Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe, is about an hour away, promising an excursion with views unlike anywhere else.
