From the booking procedures and the information from The Thinking Traveller about the area and villa, to meeting the host and housekeepers, everything was first class.

About the property
Inside
accommodation at La Pergola is spread over the first and second floors of a superbly panoramic house overlooking the bay of Mazzaro'.From the front door on street level, a flight of 20 stairs leads up to the first floor and its spacious, bright hallway opening onto a long sun-kissed terrace. The first floor is home to a double and two double/twin bedrooms, each with access to sea-view terraces. One of the double/twins has its own en-suite shower room, while the other two bedrooms share a bathroom with tub.
More stairs lead up to the open concept second floor where the views just keep getting better. At one end is the comfy living area with fireplace and access to a wonderfully panoramic terrace. In the middle is the well-equipped kitchen and at the far end, with splendid picture windows looking out to sea and over the bay of Mazzaro', is the dining area.
Outside
the terraces on both the first and second floors offer splendid views of the bay of Mazzaro' and the coastlines of Sicily and Calabria. They get the morning sun all year round and are sheltered enough to relax in a T-shirt even in mid-winter.The beach is reached via around 140 steps from the rear of the house, and offers a wonderful beachfront restaurant. The cable car to Taormina is about 300m away.

About 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.
Considerations
The cable car up to Taormina closes for scheduled maintenance for a couple of weeks in low season but is replaced by a bus service that follows the same timetable.

We had a rejuvenating stay at La Pergola. The villa was perfect. A beautiful space in a beautiful location. We easily accessed Taormina, enjoyed the beach below us, and sat outside, drank espresso and painted the views. We did not want to leave.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
