Villa Elysium | A Precipice of Panoramic Splendor Above Taormina

Perched on the verdant slopes above Letojanni, Elysium commands a position of unparalleled prestige, offering a front-row seat to one of the Mediterranean’s most captivating vistas. This estate is a masterclass in contemporary coastal living, where the boundaries between interior elegance and the raw beauty of the Sicolian coastline dissolve entirely.

The villa’s very essence is its dialogue with the sea; from the moment you step onto the property, the panoramic sweep of the Ionian Sea and the iconic silhouette of Taormina become an omnipresent masterpiece, framing every moment of the day from sunrise to the golden hour.

The outdoor spaces are orchestrated to maximise this breathtaking setting, functioning as a series of luxurious terraces dedicated to leisure and entertainment. The centrepiece is a magnificent saltwater infinity pool, its edge seemingly vanishing into the azure horizon. Beyond its sleek expanse, a dedicated hydro-massage area offers a soothing respite, while a unique, raised "waterfront" ledge invites guests to enjoy an aperitif immersed in the cool water, suspended between sky and sea.

The adjoining patio features a shaded dining table for al fresco meals, while a discreet English lawn hosts a traditional wood-fired barbecue, perfect for leisurely afternoons.

Ascending to the first-floor terrace, the experience reaches new heights of exclusivity. Here, a private Jacuzzi offers a sublime vantage point for contemplation, complemented by a sun-drenched solarium. Returning to the main level, a separate structure adjacent to the pool houses a state-of-the-art fitness area, complete with a sauna and floor-to-ceiling windows that ensure even workouts are accompanied by an inspiring seascape.

Every element, from the two dedicated parking areas to the integration of the gym and wellness facilities, has been curated for those who demand the utmost in privacy and refined comfort.

Internally, the villa is a testament to sophisticated design and fluidity. The ground floor unfolds into a luminous, open-plan living space where a modern kitchen, complete with a wine cooler for local Etna vintages, flows seamlessly into a chic living area. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls slide back to unite the interior with the panoramic terrace, erasing the line between inside and out. The villa’s four double bedrooms, each a private sanctuary with an en-suite bathroom, are strategically arranged to offer both togetherness and solitude.

Two bedrooms on the first floor open directly onto the terrace and Jacuzzi, while a ground-floor suite and a private poolside annexe provide versatile accommodation, ensuring every guest experiences the pinnacle of comfort in this spectacular Sicilian retreat.
