About this property
Exclusive villa above Taormina with pool and views of Etna and the sea
* In 2022/2023 the villa was tastefully renovated and furnished to a high standard *
The terraced Villa Bougainvillea is located in a spacious, exclusive ground on a steep south-facing slope. Inside the fenced 3000 sqm property there is parking space for two cars. Outside, on the street, is enough space for further cars.
The Villa comprises three levels: the main house and two apartment levels. You have the possibility to rent the Villa for 4, 6 or 8 people (9 upon request). Even renting the Villa for fewer people, you rent the Villa exclusively. The perfect privacy is guaranted.
In the main house there are two bedrooms with king-size beds, individual bathrooms, a spacious living room, a guest toilet, a fully equipped new kitchen, the dining room, a shady patio and the panoramic terrace. A new staircase into the garden was built 2023. From the panoramic terrace you can enjoy a stunning view of the Mediterranean sea, the bay of Naxos and Mt. Etna. The evening offers a fascinating panorama of lights.
On the middle-level and pool-level are two beautiful apartments with 2 double beds, individual bathrooms and small living rooms. Access to the apartments is either by the central or by the side open stairs.
Baby travel beds and baby equipment can be set up on request. We want you to travel lightly! All rooms have air conditioning. We use bed linen and towels made from 100% organic cotton.
The pool (~11.5 x 4,5 m) is located on the lowest level and is well protected from prying eyes due to its location.
A car is recommanded but not a necessity, public transportation is available in close proximity and you can walk down the breathtaking Madonna della Rocca path to Taormina and get back up by bus or Taxi (15-20 Euro one way for a Taxi).
The exceptional architectural concept of the Villa is designed for 6 to 8 people, offers lots of possibilities for privacy or to enjoy time in company. Ideal for friends, couples, families with children or extended families. Enjoy this authentic Sicilian atmosphere!
Family members, friends and guests are still talking about the high degree of recovery of a stay in the villa. The rich vegetation including lemon, orange and olive trees, bougainvillea, oleander and cactus, the large pool and many details make the Villa Bougainvillea to an exclusive place to go, stay and come again! We cordially welcome you to our Villa!

Everything we could have asked for and more. Excellent communication and great housekeeper locally. The pool a real plus and one of the best views. Highly recommend and bedrooms all with own bathrooms really suits multi generational holidays.
Magical property nestled into the side of the hillsides beautiful scenic surroundings. Wonderful hosts and easy check in. Our gracious hosts even suggested the best Chef, Fabio, who made us 2 dinners during our week week's stay. Each meal was carefully curated and paired with Local Sicilian Wines. Also, it is an easy uphill walk to Castelmola for pizza or breakfast and 20-30 minute nice walk down to Taormina. Quick uber up, though! This place is perfect for 4 couples or 2-3 families. Each bedroom has a private ensuite bathroom, all newly remodeled. Just terrific place. Missing Sicily and can’t wait to return! Loved everyday!
Perfect stay for a multigenerational family in close to Taormina! Pool and views were gorgeous. We were connected to a driver who also made the stay much more manageable for the baby and older guests since the way up to the villa was very hilly. He was super communicative and became a highlight of our trip!
Our family had a wonderful week touring Sicily from “our home” in Taormina. Thank you to Silvana for making any and all local connections possible for our family and to Daniela for making the entire process smooth.
Our stay at the Villa Bougainvillea was perfect. We had everything we needed and more. The home is so lovely and quiet and comforting. We enjoyed the pool and dining in the garden. The views are spectacular, especially beautiful at sunset. Thanks Daniela and Raphael for sharing this amazing place.Donna
This villa is fantastic! The place is beautiful and has everything you would need for an enjoyable stay. The property manager is kind and very helpful. It is very clean and spacious. The views are breathtaking. I hope to come back again in the future.
Beautiful property with exquisite views of Taormina and Etna. On our last night we had quite a show of Etna erupting in the night sky. The house is perfect for a multigenerational family with separate living spaces and then large communal spaces. Daniel and Raphael are great hosts with connections to drivers and private chefs. We had a memorable family trip that I will cherish.
To say that this Villa was BELLISSIMO is an understatement! Walking in with the manager to introduce us to every unique aspect made it a wonderful check in experience.Our 7day stay was not long enough for our family of nine members to explore every wonderful joy that Castelmola & Taormina possess. With tears in my eyes & a heart full of joy we hoped to return to view Etna & all the splendor that Sicily holds again!!
We just left after a week in Villa Bougainvillea and it could not have been more perfect. Daniela, Raphael, and Silvana were amazing hosts and considered every detail with this house as a rental property. The views, pool, and lounge areas are all incredible and the beds were comfortable. Thank you for the in-house chef recommendation for Fabio at Private Chef Catania. Can’t wait to come back for our next visit!
Lovely villa with stunning views of Taormina & the Ionian Sea. Tastefully furnished with all you need for an enjoyable stay! The owners went out of their way to accommodate our family and make us all feel welcome - including answering many questions and providing recommendations to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. The walk up from Taormina is a bit grueling but worth it for the views. Would love to return!
We have just spent the most wonderful holiday in this villa. The owners certainly understand what it means to be a host. Communication before, during and after our stay was perfect: complete but not overly intrusive. The home was clean and elegant. The layout of 4 separate bedrooms and bathrooms gives each room privacy, while the common living areas are conducive to socialising with friends or family. This will forever be remembered by us as a place of joy, beauty and comfort.
Even Better Than the Photos – Absolutely Incredible Stay!This was, without question, the most incredible rental we’ve ever stayed in. It’s one of those rare homes where the pictures simply don’t do it justice. The house is perfectly situated between Taormina and Castelmola, offering breathtaking views of Taormina and the sea below. Every morning and evening felt like a postcard come to life.The home itself was immaculate, beautifully designed, and so comfortable—it felt both luxurious and welcoming. The owners and the house manager were exceptionally kind and helpful, making sure every detail of our stay was perfect.We also highly recommend using Mr. Pagano as a taxi driver and tour guide. He was wonderful—reliable, friendly, and always available when we needed him.If you’re visiting Taormina, look no further. This home is truly unforgettable.
Came with 8 adult family members and SOs, had a great time. Property was recently remodeled and is gorgeous with a real local flavor. Clean, elegant and user friendly. Property manager very accessible to help with tips and needs. Pictures do not do it justice. Beware, everything's on a hill in Taormina, including the villa, bring your best billy goat and have fun!
The Villa was spectacular with an amazing view. Multi- level accommodations which was perfect for our group needs. It was well stocked and we appreciated the welcoming gift and little things like coffee, salt &pepper and other spices. It helps you don’t have to buy all these small items. The big table was great for eating and then games at night.
Sitting outside with coffee in the morning and the view❤️👍. The pool was beautiful and clean - so lovely. A 5 start for sure.
We would highly recommend this beautiful villa in the Castelmola / Taormina area. The house has been recently renovated to a very high standard, and includes four bedrooms with ensuites, several indoor / outdoor lounge and dining spaces, and patio / pool with the most incredible views. We thoroughly enjoyed our days / evenings spent at the villa, lounging by the pool and cooking meals with family in the well-equipped kitchen. We walked down to Taormina several evenings for dinner (with taxi back) - and walked the scenic path to Castelmola one morning. The hosts were excellent with communications - and provided restaurant and other recommendations for the area. Thank you for such a memorable vacation!!
We are a family of 5, 2 parents and 3 teenagers. We had a wonderful week in this beautiful house. The house is recently modernized and fully equipped, it surpassed all our expectations. The house has an amazing view from the terrace over the Sea and over the Etna. Silvy who welcomed us at the house helped us with everything, even printed our tickets for the ferry back to the main land. We really hope to come back!
Most amazing villa in the area of castelmoa/ Taormina.
Beautiful villa/house to share with a group of friends. There were 4 couples and we absolutely loved it there. Very accurate from website. Quite easy walk down to town and taxi back up. Had a wonderful dinner on our last night up in the centre of castelmoa up top. The house has everything you need and more. Thanks to Silvana for all your help and of course our wonderful driver. Thanks Daniela. We will definitely recommend

A wonderful villa with terraces facing Mt Etna and a lovely pool. 7 of us stayed in this delightful villa in peaceful tranquillity, situated half way between Taormina and Castelmola, incredibly secluded location The house flows down the hill with main accommodation at Ground / entry level. This included 2 bedrooms suites, incredibly well equipped kitchen / triclinium (haha - dining room) , and open lounge, with the 2 terraces. Floor -1 had a further bedroom suite. Floor -2 another bedroom suite. We did not hire a car and relied on hired-in electric bikes, local buses and trains.....that all worked well, especially the E-bikes
This house was the absolute perfect house for our vacation. The owners from the very beginning were so kind and communicated so well! We had never been to Sicily before so we had very many questions and they were so patient and kind to help us plan our holiday!
The house was beautiful. The view is beyond explanation! The furnishings were exquisite. The layout/floor plan was perfect for our group. The kitchen was well stocked, and they were kind enough to do a first shop for us and have it at the house. Each room was very special in its own way and the pool area was fabulous. The pool was clean and well kept. We would love to return.
My wife and I have 3 teenage boys. We came with both our parents and had an amazing vacation. The views are incredible, the beds are super comfortable, the layout of the house was perfect four our group. Close to both Taormina and castlemola. Our flight was delayed and we didn’t get in until 1am and silvana met us and explained everything. She made everything very easy. Make sure you are okay walking some hills. They are not too bad and taxis are an option, but I highly recommend the steps down to Taormina.
Wow! I cannot over-emphasize how wonderful our stay at the Villa was! The house itself is gorgeous, so well equipped, and wonderful w/ great A/C and fabulous pool considering we were there during the most intense heat wave! Daniella and Raphael were wonderful hosts, and Silvana was so welcoming and attentive, she was the epitome of Italian hospitality! If there was anything we needed she and Daniella were quick to respond and attend to any questions, including making dinner reservations and even welcoming us w/ lovely Sicilian gifts such as marmalade and Prosecco. I cannot recommend Villa Bougainvillea highly enough, it was the most wonderful part of our 2 weeks in Italy!
Fabulous property. Recently renovated with luxurious finishes. The entrance is discrete and when you enter the home, the view that unfolds is enchanting. The pool was so refreshing and a balm for tired legs. We hiked up to Castlemolo for breakfast and down to Taormina for lunch. The location is central for visiting Messina, Mt Etna and the vineyards as well as Taormina. We could have done more touring but the villa was so beautiful that we spent several days just enjoying the quiet and view from the terrace. The property has citrus trees that were laden with fruit. The mandarins were delicious.Our last night we were treated to a front seat to a significant Mt. Etna eruption. The next morning Etna was covered in snow. A magical visit.
