Villa Sant'Andrea, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina Mare

10/10 Excellent
"A marvellous stay— the attention to detail and customer service is bar none. Location superb by the beach which was private and access to cliff jumping and swimming which my teens relished. We also enjoyed the complimentary boat tour along the bay and the convenience of the shuttle into town via their sister resort. Superior quality rooms and food and amenities. Absolutely gorgeous property and cannot miss if visiting Taormina. 1000/10."
