The Ponderosa

Nestled high up on the hills overlooking the sea, this villa offers guests stunning views and comfy outdoor spaces, complete with an infinity pool and alfresco dining areas. A short drive away from Taormina and the beaches, the home makes for a good base for families or groups of friends on the lookout for a Catania escape. Bear in mind that there are quite a few steps to climb inside, some of which are steep, so children will need to be supervised at all times. The proximity of a busy road also means that some street noise is to be expected here.

Home truths:
*Due to this home's hilly location, we think a car is necessary to make the most out of your stay. There's free private parking here. *Please be aware that there's a relatively busy road outside the house which may result in some street noise – light sleepers may want to bring earplugs. *This home is spread across three levels with no internal lift, it may therefore not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility. *Please note that one of the bedrooms features a bunkbed and is best suited for children. *You'll have your own private entrance here as well as a fenced garden and pool area.
