Hotels, villas and access
Taormina's historic centre has access restrictions, so the final approach depends on your exact address.
Where vehicle access is permitted, you are taken to your hotel or villa entrance. Where the historic centre is restricted, your chauffeur drops you at the nearest authorised point and helps with your luggage. Tell us the exact address at booking and we plan the best approach.
