Kristina Villa Hotel details
While provisions can be made for families, Villa Kristina is the sort of hotel which really suits independent couples who come to relax by the high-in-the-sky pool, take in some rays on the sun terrace, swim in the sea from private lidos and generally enjoy everything the region has to offer.
A few minutes walk from Villa Kristina will take you to Taormina's vivacious pedestrianised town centre with its bustling on-the-pavement shops, its stone villas hung with trailing flowers and its ageless Teatro Greco set in lovely public gardens.
Villa Kristina will also prove popular if you like to walk through scenic countryside - it stands on the slopes of the mighty Monte Tauro and therefore offers commanding views over the Ionian coastline.
Further afield are the absolutely must-see Temple of the Dioscuri at Agrigento, the Arab cupolas of San Giovanni degli Eremiti in Palermo and the moving clock tower by Messina's cathedral.
