Villa Fico d’india

Villa Fico d’india is a newly built, contemporary home in a peaceful residential neighbourhood a short drive from the centre of Taormina, on the east coast of Sicily.

With six bedrooms, eight bathrooms and room for up to 12 guests, it suits large families or groups of friends who want generous space and a panorama that takes in the sea, Taormina itself, the hilltop village of Castelmola and Mount Etna’s slopes.

The living spaces unfold over two floors, finished to a high standard and cooled by air conditioning throughout. Each of the six bedrooms has its own bathroom, and there is an extra bathroom for visitors.

Shared time centres on a lounge and a broad open-plan area where kitchen and dining table sit together, with a separate laundry room behind the scenes. The equipment list is long: Wi-Fi, eight smart TVs, a wireless speaker, an ice machine, a safe, a dishwasher, a washing machine and a dryer.

Outdoors, wide terraces and a garden face that sweeping view. The swimming pool is filled with salt water instead of chlorine, and a barbecue and outdoor dining area make it easy to spend whole days outside.

For anyone looking for a luxury villa with private pool in Sicily, the combination of modern comfort and scenery here is hard to match.

The historic heart of Taormina is close by car, and so are the beaches at Mazzarò, Isola Bella and Giardini Naxos. For day trips, head to the villages on Etna’s flanks, to Catania, or south to Syracuse and the island of Ortigia.
