Casa Turchetti

Casa Turchetti is a small and exclusive hotel, as boutique as they come. In the heart of Taormina, just off the main “Corso Umberto”, Casa Turchetti is right in the thick of things, yet in a relatively peaceful spot. Approached through the typical, narrow streets and stepped alleyways, it is elevated above the main “Belvedere” square and the hustle and bustle of the street. From Casa Turchetti’s romantic rooftop terrace, the occasional sound of Sicilian music floats up from the town, and views, over rooftops, to the sea, and the majestic Mount Etna, which looms large, create a magical and romantic atmosphere. Casa Turchetti is a special place – arguably the prettiest boutique hotel in Taormina.

Originally an eighteenth-century convent, but later a famous music school, rooms at the unique Casa Turchetti are named after musical instruments, and the great Maestro Turchetti. The owners of Casa Turchetti have restored it with no expense spared. Every detail, from the specially made bed linen and curtains, to the decorative ceramics and antique Sicilian furniture, combines to give Casa Turchetti an exceptional quality and unique atmosphere. Each bedroom is elegant and comfortable, with warm colours and fabrics and lovely, marble shower rooms with slippers and fluffy, white bathrobes and facilities one would expect of a multi-starred hotel.

The small second floor breakfast room leads to Casa Turchetti’s beautiful, large roof terrace, furnished with dining chairs, tables, sun beds and umbrellas, and even an outside shower! From here, our Long Travel clients have one of the best views in Taormina – over rooftops to the sea, and the magical Mount Etna. Casa Turchetti’s abundant and delicious breakfast is usually served here, and it is the real highlight for the start of any day. The Casa Turchetti’s passion for home cooking and typical Sicilian pastries and delicacies soon becomes obvious. A truly irresistible array of goodies is laid before your eyes– all of the best things that Sicily has to offer for breakfast.

Casa Turchetti’s lovely terrace is also the all-important spot for a sunbathe, or a drink before, (and after!) dinner. Taormina boasts some of Sicily’s best restaurants, so there are plenty to choose from “on the doorstep”.

Of exceptional quality and with a unique very relaxed atmosphere, Casa Turchetti is elegant, with an exclusive, luxurious feel, perfect for a romantic honeymoon.
