One of Taormina's historic properties, La Prora has been painstakingly and lovingly brought into the 21st century. Exquisite, generously proportioned interiors flow out to the surrounding gardens and terraces, at the centre of which is an irresistible heatable pool.

La Prora is a fabulous property in a wonderful setting. What made the experience memorable was the world-class staff at the villa.
Stellario D'Urso September 2025
We had the trip of a lifetime at La Prora. The entire experience, from start to finish, exceeded all expectations. The property, pool, and grounds were stunning. The staff and the amazing chef took great care of us.
MS September 2025
The style and décor of La Prora was lovely, the rooms were very spacious, the outdoor space was the best we've experienced (expansive shady pergolas with dining for 14, a lovely pool, recreation, ping pong and bocci for the younger guests), and everyone felt spoiled in their accommodations - there no

La Prora and its grounds were absolutely beautiful….and let’s not forget the amazing housekeeper! I would love to return some day.
Domenique Scalia October 2024
What stood out about La Prora? The spectacular views from everywhere, especially the bedrooms; the modern style in an antique setting; the spacious indoor and outdoor communal areas, as well as the 'hidden' quiet spaces when desired; the bocci court; the walkable proximity to both Taormina and the seashore, with other options including a convenient gondola; and last but certainly not least, the wonderful staff! We had a wonderful and worry-free family time.
RR October 2024
La Prora is the best vacation house we have ever rented! We loved absolutely everything, from the location to the beautiful grounds. The outdoor living space was outstanding. The beds were very comfortable. The interior spaces were beautifully decorated.

The Area
La Prora sits on the sea below the ancient, glorious, beguiling and perfectly positioned town of Taormina. The historic centre, with its world famous Graeco-Roman theatre, its labyrinth of pretty streets, its panoramic piazze, its boutiques, its Michelin-starred restaurants and its chic bars, is just a few minutes' drive away (or, alternatively, a 20-minute walk uphill, mainly up steps and along roads without pavements. Taxis are readily available and there is a frequent bus service up to Taormina that stops near the villa).
Isola Bella, one of Sicily's most iconic bays, with its shingle beach and its seafront bars and restaurants, is also walkable (about 1km away), though again there are some sections of road without pavements.
Sicily's Ionian Riviera has much to offer besides Taormina, however, including the huge attraction of Mount Etna and the villages and towns that populate its flanks.
Guests staying at La Prora are also within easy day trip range of Catania (a Baroque lava-stone city with vibrant streets markets and much more), ancient Syracuse, once the mightiest city in Magna Graecia, and the UNESCO World Heritage towns of Noto, Modica, Ragusa and Scicli.
