Individual ratings for Belmond Villa Sant'Andrea

Location

Located in a carefully cultivated, terraced garden estate directly on the beach of the scenic bay of Mazzarò. Taormina is conveniently reach via cable car or the hotel's free shuttle service.

Ambience

Discrete beach hotel with an accomplished mix of romantic comforts and tradition-steeped elegance.

Infrastructure

Heated pool, private beach, small spa with steam room and gym, restaurant, and bar.

Culinary

The breakfast is outstanding, and leaves nothing to be desired! We tasted the best-ever almond granita and a delicious fluffy brioche straight from the oven. Excellent Italian cuisine at the "Oliviero" restaurant with creative maritime cuisine.

Rooms

58 elegant bespoke rooms and suites with a touch of "grandezza" and comfortable Sealy beds. Most rooms have a French balcony, and some even a spacious patio. The bathrooms are stocked with the genteel products of the time-honoured English perfumery "Penhaligon's."

Service

Sicilian hospitality par excellence: competent, attentive, and decidedly amicable.

Belmond Villa Sant'Andrea Hotel, Taormina

Originally raised by an aristocratic English family in 1830, the mansion was converted into a hotel in the 1950s. Today, it is a luxurious 5-star hideaway operated by the Belmond Group. Most places, patios, and rooms overlook the scenic bay of Mazzarò. Elegant parlours furnished in antiques face the beach front. The day commences on the large terrace of the "Oliviero" restaurant with a view of the endless blue. Evenings conclude on the upper patio to the sound of piano chords. There is no better time to reflect and leave all your day-to-day cares behind for a while. It is also the perfect retreat for honeymooners and jaded urbanites.

Price range €€€
'Dolce vita' in the true sense of the word, in one of the finest coves in Sicily! Dolce & Gabbana chose Villa Sant'Andrea as set when shooting its 2013 summer collection.
As intoxicating as this earthly paradise may be, its prices are dizzying.
