Select Italy comprises a large range of accommodation, from simple residences to luxury hotels. The official ratings are based on certain facilities or services being available and they do not take into account the size of the bedrooms or public rooms, nor the preferred décor of the owner, which may be at odds with your taste. Hotels in the same category, even in the same resort, can vary considerably in character, ambience, service and facilities and may not offer the same staffing levels and facilities, or be as well maintained. it must be bourne in mind that cost is a good indication of standards, particulary when comparing hotels in the same star rating.
As well as the hotel's official star rating, we have also given our own special rating, based on our personal opinion. This rating should be taken into consideration, especially when comparing hotels of the same official star rating. By all means browse our website to get an idea of what we offer. However, if like many of our repeat customers, you would like the reassurance of speaking to someone with first hand knowledge of a particular property or area, then do call us. Together we will find the perfect hotel and create a wonderful itinerary.

About the hotel
Originally constructed in 1830 by a wealthy English family residing in Taormina, the elegant five-star Belmond Villa Sant'Andrea was converted into a hotel in 1950, and still retains its distinctive character. Beautifully situated on the Bay of Mazzaro, the cable-car that transports visitors up to the town of Taormina is just 200 yards away. Graciously appointed with fine old paintings and antique furnishings, the hotel is surrounded by sub-tropical terraced gardens and overlooks its own private beach.
The property has 68 spacious and bright guestrooms, each unique in size and shape. All rooms are air-conditioned with bath and shower, WC, satellite TV, direct-dial telephone, safe, mini bar and small balcony or terrace, most of them with sea view.
The romantic Oliviero Restaurant and ‘Colapesce’ Bar are splendidly set under tall illuminated trees on terraces overlooking the bay where the evening fishing boats glide by. The restaurant is well known for its wide range of Sicilian and Mediterranean cuisine, much of it based on fresh fish and seafood, which is accompanied by an extensive wine list. Revealing a brighter and more elegant look, Villa Sant' Andrea's private beach on the Bay of Mazzaro' boasts new sun beds and sun shades, as well as a dedicated beach manager and concierge service. In addition, guests can enjoy a Bellini with their toes in the sand with the addition of a beach bar.
The Belmond Villa Sant'Andrea's Wellness Center ‘Oasi Benessere’ offers treatmentsusing Sicilian and Mediterranean essences. The hotel's sister property is the Grand Hotel Timeo; the two properties are located approximately three miles apart and are linked by a private scheduled shuttle service. The famous swimming pool of the Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo and the private beach at Belmond Villa Sant' Andrea are accessible to guests of both hotels, as are all other facilities.
