Prestigious Panoramic Estate In The Centre Of Taormina

This prestigious estate for sale directly overlooks Sicily's sea, in the most luxuriant panoramic area of Taormina, offering incredible views of Isola Bella, and the Etna volcano in the distance.

This is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating views of Eastern Sicily, one that can be admired from the big windows that characterize the façade of this elegant building, strategically located in an enchanting, quiet and reserved site in the characteristic historical center of the renowned Pearl of the Mediterranean, among exclusive boutiques, elegant, delicious bars and restaurants.

Considered the oldest of all the monastic complexes built in Taormina in the first half of the last century, this complex is an ancient Franciscan convent which, despite the profound transformations it has undergone over time, has maintained its classic rectangular base, which develops around the small cloister. The rooms that develop around this symbolic element of life in the convent constitute the oldest nucleus, characterized by large arched openings that lay on elegant columns in gray Taormina stone.

What strikes the eye is the harmony of contrasts between the black and white of the architectural elements, which returns in the continuous combinations of clear limestone with lava stone.

There is also a church, intimate and collected in its simplicity, built with a single nave, with five side chapels and a small bell tower.

The 2,000 square meters of main building are cleverly arranged on two levels, as well as a basement, with a large paved terrace. Among all, the most prestigious is the Sala Capitolare, which features a splendid 16th-century fresco of the Last Supper, now transformed into a library open to the public. The date 1539 is engraved on one of the wooden beams of the ceiling, which lay on carved shelves. Large customizable spaces enrich the interiors, together with ten bedrooms and twelve bathrooms.

The real added value of this property consists of a large private car park for exclusive use, indispensable for anyone who wants to venture out to discover one of the most historically rich coasts of Italy.

In the large green space that surrounds the property for 6,500 square meters, an enchanting citrus grove pleasantly envelops the whole house with the unmistakable lemon scent that is so typical of this land.
