Prestigious noble villa with extensive panoramic views in Taormina

In Taormina, on a sprawling estate of over 50,000 square meters overlooking the bay of Giardini Naxos, lies this magnificent villa with an unparalleled panoramic view that can never be obstructed. This stunning three-level villa once belonged to the family of Admiral Nelson. A property rich in history and truly unique in its kind, it boasts extraordinary archaeological artifacts, including a Roman tomb dating back to the 2nd century AD. The terraced garden, designed like an amphitheater, offers breathtaking views of the sea and Mount Etna. The villa’s strategic location adds immense value—just a 5-minute drive from Isola Bella and the heart of Taormina, and only 8 minutes from the Greek Theatre, with which it shares a direct line of sight. The villa spans three levels and features 14 rooms, including bedrooms and living areas, 7 bathrooms, and numerous terraces. The estate also includes a three-story guesthouse, and the grounds stretch all the way to the outskirts of central Taormina. The property is adorned with historical and exquisite elements, such as Tuscan order columns made of Melilli stone, mullioned windows, bronze statues, a temple dedicated to the god Pan, and the Cave of the Falcons, from which the villa takes its name. These are just a few of the features that make this estate truly one-of-a-kind. Today, the villa seeks to be restored to its former glory, reminiscent of the days when King George V and Queen Mary, along with Prince George and Princess Victoria, visited the Nelsons here in April 1925. If you love Taormina and Sicily, this is your chance to own a prestigious noble villa with millennia-old artifacts.
