Shades of Tangerine

Shades of Tangerine: Sicily

Nestled along the cliffs of Taormina, this orange-sherbert-hued villa offers impressive views of the rocky precipices that drop down to the Ionian, sea-forming coves and the golden beaches of Isola. With encumbering mountain views, enjoy tranquil moments amidst the Mediterranean fauna and flora that fragrances the air. With a private pool, bright traditional living space and a spectacular view of the surrounding landscape, this Sicilian villa ticks all the boxes for a coastal retreat.

With prime Sicilian temperatures, it’s not surprising this home promotes outdoor living. This home has a hydromassage pool, sleek daybeds for siestas under the shade of the palm trees and a cool, covered patio which is perfect for balmy, alfresco dinners.

When you need a repose from the sun, retreat to the inside where you’ll find an oasis of amenities. The traditional design aesthetic blends with minimal modern furnishings and pops of orange to create a laid-back vibe that synchronises with the region’s coastal spirit. The plush sofas are a perfect spot to read or listen to a podcast, whilst the dynamic kitchen is a delight to prepare a classic Sicilian dish of Pasta con le Sarde in.

If you want to get out and explore, beeline for Isola Bella to admire the island’s nature reserve and shallow blue waters (only a twenty-minute drive away) or drive an hour to indulge the day at Mount Etna, where you’ll be spoilt with volcanic landscapes, unfolding vineyards and lava flow caves.
