Villa Sant'Andrea, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina Mare

Beachfront villa where dogs get a bed and bowl on arrival

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A 19th-century seaside villa on Mazzarò Bay, sitting directly on its own pebble-and-sand beach with a heated pool in terraced gardens. It has a relaxed beach-house feel and links to sister hotel Grand Hotel Timeo in town by free shuttle. It suits dog owners who want coast rather than town stairs. Small dogs are welcomed with a pet bed and water bowl.

Why it's in the collection

The terraced gardens run down to the water and are good for a short lead stroll, and the flat Via Nazionale seafront at Mazzarò is right outside. Mazzarò beach and Isola Bella are both pebble and within a few minutes' walk, though dog access on the sand is limited to specific dog-friendly lidos.

Best suited for

Small dogs welcome in rooms but not in restaurants or the pool area, and must be leashed in public spaces.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.
