Our stay at Villa Sant’Andrea was absolutely fantastic. Set beautifully on Mazzarò Bay, the hotel offers a private beach and an atmosphere full of charm. We loved the impeccable service, breakfasts by the sea, and amazing live music in the evenings. The Godfather tour we arranged through the hotel was a true highlight of our trip. Truly the best place to stay in Taormina.

Very nice experience in this quiet place by the sea. What made the experience memorable and qualitative has been the team: thanks to a genuine connection to the client, they have made me feel comfortable, relaxed and happy at all times. The story has r this ancient private villa is interesting. Thank you!

We stayed at the hotel in September, 2024 for several days. The location, facilities and amenities were first class. The usual daily service was outstanding and better than any other hotel where we stayed which includes several five-star hotels in the United States.
There were several individuals at the hotel that provided consistent excellent service above expectation and deserve specific mention.
Stefano was the valet at the time. He was always courteous and immediate in his response to our need for our car. When we experienced a difficulty with one of the tires, he took it upon himself to examine the tire and inflate it to the proper level. He did the same with all of the other tires. All of these services were unrequested and not only corrected the problem but alleviated our concerns and made our trip more enjoyable.
Juliana greeted us as we entered the hotel and never relented in her sincere concern to assure that our stay was completely enjoyable and to our satisfaction. She was always cheerful, bright and a complete pleasure.
Sandy and Roberta worked together at the concierge desk. They were both extraordinary at providing informative, courteous, prompt and complete advice on all matters that we raised. We encountered an incident with returning our rental vehicle and they were both instrumental in helping us resolve the matter.
Roberta, the breakfast hostess, was always personable, cheery, poised and courteous. A true pleasure to know.
Each of these individuals made us feel like we were the only guests at the hotel. I own and operate a business and would be pleased to have each one of them as an employee. They exemplified all of the characteristics that one would hope to have in the hospitality industry, and, for that matter, in any professional industry. They would be a material reason for us revisiting the hotel even though the hotel stands on its own as an excellent facility worth revisiting for the experience alone.

If your trip to Sicily is centered around Taormina and the beach is at the top of your agenda then THIS is the place. We stayed at a couple different hotels here and nothing comes close to this. First of all it has its own private beach. My goal was to see iso Bella but their private beach was so much better and more relaxing. The amazing customer service was nothing like I’ve ever experienced. And the food is great !!
