Prestigious Historic Villa with Panoramic Sea Views in Taormina

Nestled in a privileged and private position, with breathtaking views over the Mediterranean Sea, Mount Etna and the Ancient Theatre of Taormina, Villa degli Artisti stands as one of the most remarkable historic residences in the area.

Built at the end of the 19th century and meticulously restored within the last decade, the villa perfectly blends the timeless elegance of Sicilian historic architecture with the comforts of a modern luxury residence. Once home to the renowned Italian artist Corrado Cagli, the property carries significant cultural and artistic value, enhancing its uniqueness and prestige.

The estate offers approximately 900 sqm of interior space, complemented by over 150 sqm of panoramic terraces, all enjoying uninterrupted sea views. In addition to the main villa, the property includes a 200 sqm guesthouse, formerly the artist's atelier, a covered area suitable for a gym or wellness space, an infinity swimming pool with hydromassage area, private parking for four cars, and a beautifully landscaped 1,200 sqm park featuring centuries-old trees, native Mediterranean plants, stone sculptures and terraced gardens.

The main villa is arranged over three levels, connected by an elegant internal staircase crafted in Modica stone, crowned by a glass ceiling that floods the interiors with natural light. Each floor also benefits from independent external access, offering exceptional flexibility of use.

The main living level features a bright and spacious living room with fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows opening onto a panoramic terrace. This level also hosts a refined dining room with fireplace, overlooking the sea and the Ancient Theatre, a fully equipped kitchen with direct access to a large terrace ideal for al fresco dining, and two guest bathrooms.

The ground floor accommodates two independent apartments, each with direct access to its own panoramic terrace. The first apartment comprises two bedrooms, a kitchen and a generous living area; the second offers one bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. This layout makes the property perfectly suited for luxury hospitality or guest accommodation.

An internal elevator connects all levels, reaching the upper floor where a spectacular panoramic terrace opens onto sweeping views of Taormina, the coastline and Mount Etna. This level also features the villa's most exclusive bedroom, designed with glass walls and a freestanding hydromassage bathtub, offering an extraordinary and immersive living experience.

Set within the garden, the guesthouse boasts a bright double-height living room with fireplace and full-height windows, a kitchen with living area and bathroom on the ground floor, and two en-suite bedrooms on the upper level-ideal for guests, staff or independent use.

The property benefits from dual access: a private pedestrian gate leads directly into the historic center via a street parallel to Corso Umberto, allowing easy walking access to the Duomo and main attractions, while vehicular access is provided through an elegant wrought-iron electric gate.


Thanks to its central yet secluded location, Villa degli Artisti allows residents to fully enjoy Taormina on foot, with boutiques, fine dining, cultural venues and the famous Greek Theatre just a short walk away. The cable car to Mazzarò Bay and Isola Bella is nearby, the motorway junction is only 5.4 km away, and Catania International Airport can be reached in approximately 50 minutes.

Villa degli Artisti represents a rare and prestigious opportunity: a historic luxury residence combining privacy, panoramic beauty and cultural heritage, ideal as an exclusive private home, a representative estate, or a high-value investment in one of the most sought-after destinations in the Mediterranean.
