Overview
Stay in style at the luxurious La Preziosa Piccola waterfront third-floor apartment near Taormina, on the east coast of the Italian island of Sicily. This beautiful property overlooks the Ionian Sea's azure waters and benefits from gated access to a seasonal private beach furnished with sun loungers and shady brollies.
The apartment can be reached via a lift and is wheelchair accessible. In the apartment, you will find two exquisitely appointed double bedrooms. It can comfortably accommodate up to four guests in some style, perfect for a small family holiday or a couple of couples getaway. This modern block comes complete with complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout, an elevator to the apartment, and is wheelchair friendly. A concierge is on hand to arrange everything from airport transfers to exciting excursions. La Preziosa Piccolo is elegantly furnished with contemporary, stylish furniture and the latest appliances and decorated in a striking colour scheme of crisp, clean white and regal, rich purples.
Take the elevator to the apartment, where you will be welcomed by a light, bright, and airy open-plan living space with floor-to-ceiling doors that seamlessly connect with the sea view terrace. The seating area has comfy sofas and armchairs, a handy coffee table, a sideboard and bookshelves, and a flat-screen satellite cable television for entertainment.
The adjacent sleek stainless steel and stark white kitchen is fully equipped with all the appliances you will need to cater for your holiday. The brilliant six-seater dining set is perfect for indoor entertaining. There are two well-appointed bedrooms dressed in the finest linens. The master bedroom had a king-size bed with an ensuite bathroom, whilst the second bedroom had a double bed and a separate bathroom.
Step outside onto the Wow-factor, a breathtaking sea view terrace. Relax on the inviting, deep, cushioned sun loungers under the shady parasols. Meet for morning coffee at the soft seating set. As dusk falls, sit at the patio set, and watch the sun set over the horizon, cocktail in hand. Feast outside at the outdoor six-seater dining set, and raise a glass of local wine as you toast to the most memorable holidays in the most stunning setting.

Location
About the surrounding area of La Preziosa PiccolaLa Preziosa Piccolo can be found just outside of the exclusive resort of Taormina, on the east coast of the Italian island of Sicily, overlooking the azure waters of the Ionian Sea.
The nearest international airport is in Catania, a scenic sixty-four-kilometre drive to your holiday home. The nearest beach is just across the road, where, within minutes, you can swim in the crystal clear waters of the Ionian Sea. The nearby beaches of Isola Bella, with a small island and nature reserve, Giardini Naxos, with sandy shores, and Mazzaro, with a beautiful bay, are well worth a visit.
Take a hike or rent a bike to see the coastline, local flora, and fauna. Swim, snorkel, scuba dive, and test your water sports skills of paddleboarding and kitesurfing. All aboard for a boat trip, discovering secret coves and hidden bays. Join a yoga class for a daily sun salutation. Ride the cable car to the top of the town, where you will find a Greek amphitheatre, charming public gardens, the Corso Umberto for some designer label shopping, and five-star hotels with sea view terraces for cocktails and aperitivo.
Go to Mount Etna, Europe's highest and most active volcano. Travel further afield to the town of Syracuse and the ancient temples of Agrigento.
In the evening, wine and dine on Sicilian specialities and dance the night away in one of Taormina's lively bars and clubs.
