This elegant hotel also boasts views of the whole of Taormina, the Bay off Naxos, and Mount Etna. The hilltop city of Taormina is also very popular for honeymooners with its typical Sicilian cultural heritage and ancient sites. The Palazzo Corvaja, for example, is an historical gem that showcases a mix of Gothic, Arabic, and Norman architecture, and was once home to the Sicilian Parliament, now housing a small museum, it is well worth a visit to find out Taormina’s history. Take time out for a trip to Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano where guided tours include jeep rides and hiking excursions, on the way down you can stop at the local vineyards on the slopes of Etna, and experience a wine tasting tour.
