Hotel Caparena

Place and Hotel

 In the enchanting Sicily we will delight our "six" senses: the sight will be pleased by the unique landscapes and the wonderful colours; the touch will be warmed up by the sun; the hearing will be caressed on the bank and on the hinterland by the symphony of nature; the taste will be fulfilled by Sicilian savours; the sense of smell will be charmed by the essences of fruit, flowers, sea water and... the bridge will benefit from Fulvio's lessons, afternoon and evening tournaments.


Taormina is a strip of Paradise on Earth. (W. Goethe, Travels in Italy)
Taormina is on the Eastern coast of Sicily, between Catania and Messina. Its beaches overlook on the clear waters of the lukewarm Ionian Sea.
The sea isn't the only attraction of this town, whose charm attracted the Greeks, the Romans, the Arabs... and many other populations that conquered it during its long history, making it a precious mosaic of cultures..
Corvaja Palace is an example of this: built in the center of Taormina, in the square that was the agorà during the Greek domination and later a Roman forum, it encloses many styles, from the Arabic architecture to the Gothic-Catalan, to the Norman ones.
The most famous monument of Taormina probably is the Greek Theatre, which is built on the promontory, just like if it was suspended between the sea and the sky, with the Calabrian and Ionian coasts and the Etna volcano in the background. It was the setting for the performances of the ancient Greeks and is still used nowadays: during summer, daily performances, concerts and cultural shows are held.
The Cathedral is dedicated to Saint Nicola. It seems like a stronghold for its stone facade, its battlements and its bell tower, which is also massive and austere.
Umberto road is the main road, extending between the ancient doors of Messina and Catania. Along the road there are many boutiques and shops, restaurants and bars, among architectural and artistic testimonies of different periods.

At Caparena Hotel we will be surrounded by Nature.
The building is embraced by the bloomering vegetation and its terraces overlook the Mediterrean Sea. The swimming pool is immersed among the palm trees and the bouganvilles plants.
The rooms are equipped with every confort and overlook on the sea or on the garden.
Stylish details, such as the baked clay floors and the elegant textile finishings embellish the spaces inside the Hotel. At the lunch and dinner table the savours of Sicily are combined with refined international gastronomy tastes. The Hotel has a wellness centre.
