Villa Angela Taormina

Villa Angela is a small and friendly boutique hotel in Taormina with only 27 rooms and an intimate atmosphere that makes every guest feel instantly at home.

Set in a stunning location above Taormina town centre with a spectacular panorama stretching from the crystalline waters of the Ionian Sea all the way to the top of magnificent Mount Etna, Europe’s highest active volcano, Villa Angela is a wonderful example of welcoming Sicilian hospitality.

4-star hotel with swimming pool, restaurant and free parking, Villa Angela offers an unforgettable vacation in romantic rooms (all with wi-fi, air conditioning/heating, furnished balconies and breathtaking views) amidst the warmth and hospitality of a splendid Sicilian residence.

From the Villa’s conception in the early 2000s, the greatest attention to detail has been given in the desire to create an ambiance befitting its unique position in Taormina and which conveys the essence of contemporary Sicilian life.

Traditional Taormina stone, wrought iron and chestnut wood elements appear throughout our decor as brilliant examples of local craftsmanship that characterise Hotel Villa Angela. As may be expected, our interiors include the famous ceramics of Caltagirone which enrich the Villa’s warm and luxurious atmosphere with traditional Sicilian styles and colours.

Throughout the hotel you’ll also find a collection of original, and sometimes quirky, artwork acquired from local and international artists alike who have taken inspiration from the beauty of the surrounding area… or from the imagination of the hotel owner himself!

The elegant Hotel Villa Angela in Taormina is perfectly in tune with the nature that surrounds it; featuring spacious furnished balconies with sliding doors that connect the outdoors to every bedroom and large expanses of glass that let in lots of natural light and maximise the breathtakingly beautiful views.

Savour the hotel’s delicious Sicilian breakfast from the shady restaurant terrace with incredible panorama or soak up the sun by the refreshing swimming pool and resign yourself to a day of total relax.

This spectacular setting is complemented by a variety of Mediterranean flora – lemon, orange, olive and carob trees and night blooming jasmine, adored by guests for its glorious evening perfume. We are confident that Hotel Villa Angela will meet your expectations!
