Property Summary
Nestled on the most scenic stretch of Sicily's south-eastern coast, Villa Aura is an exceptional vacation rental positioned between the bay of Giardini-naxos and the celebrated town of Taormina, in Italy. Built in 2017, this contemporary two-storey residence combines modern architecture with refined interior design, offering breathtaking panoramic views over the Mediterranean Sea and Mount Etna, the largest volcano in Europe. The villa's bright and spacious rooms are tastefully furnished with meticulous attention to detail, creating an atmosphere that is both welcoming and sophisticated. The property benefits from a private yard spanning 300 square metres, thoughtfully landscaped with lawn, hedges, and flowering plants that lend the grounds a natural, picturesque character.

High-speed Internet WiFi connectivity is available throughout the villa, ensuring that guests remain connected throughout their stay should they wish to do so.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Aura are among its most remarkable features, designed to allow guests to fully immerse themselves in the surrounding natural beauty. A large covered veranda, paved and elegantly appointed, serves as the centrepiece of the exterior living area. Accessible directly from the interior through French windows, this generous space is equipped with a brick-built barbecue, making it an ideal setting for alfresco dining and leisurely evenings spent admiring the spectacular panorama. The garden, set entirely on one level, features a harmonious interplay of manicured lawn, sculpted hedges, and seasonal flowering plants that frame the property with colour and texture. Please note that the garden photographs were taken in spring, and the appearance of the vegetation, including flower blossoming and grass colour, may vary depending on the time of your arrival.
The heated hydro-massage mini-pool is a true highlight of the outdoor experience. Measuring 4 x 2 metres with a constant depth of 1.10 metres, it is lined in blue PVC and equipped with chlorine purification, Roman steps for water access, and both internal and external lighting, allowing for enjoyment both during the day and after sunset. The pool also features a counter-current swimming option, adding a wellness dimension to its use. Positioned so that guests can admire the panoramic views even while immersed in the water, it is surrounded by a sunbathing area on the lawn furnished with sunbeds. The pool is open from the last Saturday of April to the first Saturday of October.
