Book nowDive into a world of Sicilian adventures
Between Sicily’s copious beauty spots and historic cities, there’s no shortage of day trips to embark on from Taormina. Step inside the iconic Greek Theatre, explore secluded bays or relive scenes from the Godfather in your own classic Fiat 500.
Private Boat Hire
As part of Villa Sant-Andrea’s exclusive beach club, Lido Villeggiatura, explore the enchanting Sicilian coast on your own private boat.
Constructed by the Aprea family, master boat builders from Sorrento, the Apreamare Gozzo 35 is a stylish vessel from which to discover charming destinations such as Isola Bella, Acitrezza and Siracusa.
Champagne-paired picnics and snacks are served during the adventure but, for an even more intimate and signature experience, the Gozzo can also be reserved for sunset aperitivos with views of Mount Etna.
