Engel & Völkers Taormina - Villa la Falconara

In Taormina, in one of its most beautiful locations, stands this magnificent villa, unique for its landscape and history. A history rooted in the family of Lord Admiral Horatio Nelson, but which extends even further back to a 2nd-century AD Roman tomb of great archaeological value.
The three-level villa spans more than 800 square meters and features 14 rooms, 7 bathrooms, and multiple terraces. It is adorned with historical elements such as Tuscan columns made of Melilli stone, mullioned windows, bronze statues, a temple dedicated to the god Pan, and the Cave of the Falcons, from which it takes its name.
The terraced garden, designed like an amphitheater, offers breathtaking views of the bay of Giardini Naxos and Mount Etna.
The intrinsic value of this property lies not only in its vast 5-hectare estate but also in its exceptional location: just a 5-minute drive to the seaside and Isola Bella, and an 8-minute drive up to town of Taormina with its famous Greek Theatre.
Now the villa awaits a new owner to lovingly restore it to its former glory, reminiscent of the days when King George V and Queen Mary visited the Nelsons here in 1925.
For lovers of Taormina, Sicily, and Mediterranean gardens, this is a rare opportunity to own a prestigious noble villa and add to its illustrious history.
