An illustration of a guest book

What stood out about La Pergola was the standard of the house, the view and access to the beach, and the delightful owners and staff. Would we return? Yes, I love the position the sea access the restaurants within walking distance and the house itself.

EB September 2025

La Pergola is a dream location for a holiday in Taormina with views to die for. Architecturally designed and appointed, views that are out of this world and located close to the best beaches and cable car up to the town. Parking is also very close next to the cable car. The owner met us personally and provided a warm welcome and more than enough grocery and beverage supplies to give us a great start to our holiday. 5* experience. Would we return? Yes, it's dreamy, luxurious and it's the best spot in Taormina.

La Pergola is nice, as are the views. The location is convenient.

Verified guest, July 2025

The location of La Pergola was perfect for us, close to the beach, restaurants and easy access to Taormina. The apartment itself was stylish and spacious, and the villa owner had thoughtfully provided some 'essentials' for our arrival, which was excellent! Brilliant experience with The Thinking Traveller team, from initial booking enquiry right through to the attentive advice and service provided by the on-the-ground team. Would definitely book again.

Verified guest, August 2025

La Pergola is in a beautiful location, spacious, and convenient for trips up to Taormina. It's a lovely property with wonderfully welcoming proprietors who were available to us throughout our stay and were generous with their assistance, recommendations and a well stocked refrigerator, fresh fruit and a complimentary bottle of champagne.

The Area

La Pergola sits in one of the most sought after areas in Sicily, and it is easy to understand why. The combination of being on the beach, and at the same time within walking distance (with the help of the cable car) of the centre of Taormina suits many of our clients very well. This area of Sicily has much to offer besides Taormina and the beaches, however. Apart from the huge attraction of Mount Etna and the villages and towns that populate its flanks, guests staying at La Pergola are 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.
