Residence Villa Il Glicine in Taormina, Sicily

The residence sits a 5-minute walk from the Greek Amphitheatre, just outside Porta Messina at the entrance to Corso Umberto. Guests can reach Isola Bella beach via the funicular station located 100 metres from the property. Bus stops for local routes and tour departures are directly across the street, while the A18 motorway exit is a short drive away.

The hotel maintains a seasonal outdoor swimming pool with a shallow end and a children's pool, surrounded by a well-kept garden of orange and lemon trees. A heated jacuzzi and an open-air bath are available, along with spa facilities and sun loungers. Guests have access to a private beach area via the nearby funicular, and the property offers a bar and a shared lounge with TV area.

Each apartment comes with a fully equipped kitchen, a private veranda or balcony, and separate living and sleeping areas. The apartments are spacious, with some split-level Deluxe Two-Bedroom units offering views of the sea and the hilltop town of Castelmola. Air conditioning operates in both the kitchen and bedroom, and the property provides regular towel and linen changes during stays of several nights.

The residence provides a children's pool separate from the main pool, and families can rent a cot or a high chair on request. Guests with babies have used the cot rental service at the property, and the day manager has assisted with finding a high chair. The spacious split-level apartments offer enough room for families of four or five, and the quiet garden allows children to play safely.

The property offers private parking on site (subject to availability and extra fee) and a garage for secure car storage. A 24-hour front desk, express check-in/check-out, and luggage storage are available. Staff provide local navigation assistance and can arrange a shuttle service to a nearby beach club for guests who prefer a lido experience over the public beach.
