The scent of the sea and the sound of its gently lapping waves will accompany every waking and sleeping moment of your stay at La Riva, while the cable car up to the centre of Taormina is just a couple of minutes on foot... All in all, the perfect spot for those who appreciate a little beach life and being right at the heart of things.

“The villa itself is very nice and well kept... Our holiday was excellent! We made many friends and loved the area. The villa was most comfortable and our time following La Riva was guided by the Portrait of Sicily book... We felt very comfortable and welcomed and would recommend this villa and location as well as your company and services. We have rented villas on several other occasions and never had the personal touch as we did with The Thinking Traveller. Many thanks" Staci Cunliffe, USA, July 2011

About the Property

Inside: two steps from the small gate lead up to the lovely terrace and the main entrance. The large, bright living and dining areas lead, via a corridor, to a well-equipped kitchen, a triple room and a double room. The two bedrooms share a bathroom with shower.

Outside: the panoramic terrace is a great spot for breakfast before heading off to the beach or perhaps for enjoying a glass of fine Sicilian wine while anticipating a fish supper at the restaurant next door. The breathtaking myriad of colours and fragrances will linger on in your mind long after you leave.

Think About

The beach gets rather busy during July and August. Being right on the beach, there is no direct car access - cars can be parked at the cable car station for a small daily fee. A couple flights of stairs take you directly to the house from the main thoroughfare of Mazzaro'.


The Area

Exploring the local Area

Taormina is 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. Apart from the huge attraction of Mount Etna, try visiting some of the lesser known towns and villages on its flanks. You will be in for some pleasant surprises.

"You could not fault the view or the people helping us with regard to the villa - all superb. The villa itself is very nice and well kept... Our holiday was excellent! We made many friends and loved the area. The villa was most comfortable and our time following La Riva was guided by the Portrait of Sicily book... We felt very comfortable and welcomed and would recommend this villa and location as well as your company and services. We have rented villas on several other occasions and never had the personal touch as we did with The Thinking Traveller. Many thanks!"

"All excellent. The house manager was delightful and came out into the rain to help us down the steps with three tired boys at 10pm... The apartment was perfect and the location fabulous with three small children."
