With all the comfort we know you expect from a truly luxurious hotel; stunning rooms, immaculate gardens and a private beach right on your doorstep, this is the perfect spot for a sun-drenched Sicilian escape.<\/p>\n<h2>Location<\/h2>\n<p>Set on its own exclusive crescent of sand, Belmond Villa Sant\u2019Andrea is tucked away in the dreamy blue of the Bay of Mazzar\u00f2, right in the heart of Taormina\u2019s seaside district. The bay is dotted with magical little caves to explore and Taormina\u2019s stunning cliff-top town, just a three-minute cablecar away, is famous for its Greek amphitheatre with views unrivalled on the island.<\/p>\n<h2>Your room<\/h2>\n<p>Classical elegance oozes from each and every one of Belmond Villa Sant\u2019Andrea\u2019s 71 rooms and suites. Muted, neutral tones create a haven of calm with draped fabrics and rich silk adorning the ornate beds and antique furniture. Nearly all the rooms and suites come with balconies or terraces overlooking the sparkling sea and rocky headlands of the bay.<\/p>\n<h2>Why we like it<\/h2>\n<p>This place couldn\u2019t get any closer to the water if it tried. The gorgeous new infinity pool is right on the sea and the hotel\u2019s boat trip can take you sailing along Sicily\u2019s beautiful East coast. Visit secluded coves and the magical Grotta Azzurra (the Blue Grotto to you and me) with its vibrant underwater life. Top this off with the mouth-watering seafood served up at the hotel\u2019s beachfront restaurant and you\u2019ve got yourself one seriously special seaside retreat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Basking under the Sicilian sun, an aristocratic family built this gorgeous water-side mansion in 1830 and today Belmond Villa Sant\u2019Andrea still retains the charm and intimacy of a private residence.
