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.
