Having played host to royalty and A-listers for over a century, Villa Igiea is well-versed in the art of refined hospitality. Dating back to 1900, this stately home certainly does make a statement - one of opulent escapism in true Forte family fashion.

Exuding a timeless air of almost aristocratic elegance, Villa Sant’Andrea, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina Mare is one of Sicily’s finest hotels and retains the sense of privacy and seclusion that it held during its former life as a grand, private residence. What’s more, the property occupies its own stretch of beach on the secluded Bay of Mazzarò, with private beach cabanas for days spent basking in the sun.
Olive trees, orange groves and white-sand beaches set the scene for sophisticated Sicilian living at this all-villa offshoot of Verdura Resort, a Rocco Forte Hotel.
