Overview
A comfortable villa with a fabulous location - the views are to die for and the pool, jacuzzi and wonderful style make Respiro a wonderful choice for an utterly relaxing holiday near Taormina.
Property
Outside: The phenomenal view from Respiro's panoramic pool is just one of the highlights of Respiro. As well as the pool area - with sunloungers that are perfect for relaxing, bluetooth speakers and a toilet - there is also a terrace on the upper level with a jacuzzi (great for unwinding in the evening) and a dining area with a sun shade. Wherever you are in the garden you are treated to some incredible views. Walk down some picturesque steps and you will find yourself in a charming barbecue area where al fresco dining is a must.
Inside: Walk straight from the terrace through bright French windows into the open plan living area with kitchen, dining area and comfortable sofas. Continuing though this bright and welcoming space you will arrive at the first two bedrooms - one en suite double, the other a twin with two French beds. The ground floor also has large bathroom with a shower.
A beautiful spiral staircase with striking windows leads you to the first floor and the further bedrooms. There are two double bedrooms, both en suite, and also a dressing room. The master suite is stunning - a beautiful, bright double bedroom with French windows that lead out to a balcony that stretches the whole way around the room. The sea views are magnificent and seeing Taormina from afar is magical. The bathroom is a touch of luxury, with a large hydromassage bath and large shower.

September 2019
We had such a lovely holiday at Respiro - and absolutely loved the Villa. We found the Villa to be spacious and comfortable, and the view breathtaking! We enjoyed the pool and the spa, our husbands loved the outside barbecue area and our children enjoyed the gardens. The location was perfect for us, just a short drive to Taormina, and otherwise very private. We found all the staff at solo Sicily to be exceptionally friendly, professional and helpful. Everyone that we have liaised with has been so quick to respond to any requests and have certainly made the process for us very seamless!

The villa is gorgeous and has the most spectacular views of the Sicilian coast line. The villa has everything you could wish for it has been so well designed from the gorgeous air conditioned bedrooms to the indoor and outdoor seating. The infinity pool was my favourite place to watch the sunrise and the outdoor hot tub to watch the sun setting. From the moment we made contact with you regarding booking the villa our every question was met promptly . From directions to our welcome meeting everything was thorough and well thought through. You were so warm and welcoming. The villa is kept to an exceptional standard. Thanks for an amazing holiday!
