Villa Riis
An introduction to Villa Riis
Often the phrases 'right on the coast' and 'in the heart of it all' are mutually exclusive. However, the Villa Riis is one of those rare hotels that manages to tick both boxes. From its cliff-top perch, the hotel offers up some of Taormina's most romantic sea views. What's more, it's right in the centre of town, just a stone's throw from the ancient Porta Catania gateway and the achingly chic Corso Umberto. You've literally got bars, restaurants and boutiques on your doorstep.
The hotel ranks highly in another category, too – looks. All terracotta plasterwork and colonnaded windows, it's reminiscent of a Venetian palazzo. In fact, it wouldn't look out of place along the Grand Canal. Inside, the hotel's layout means rooms vary quite a bit in terms of size and some of them offer up heart-stealing sea views.
Add a swimming pool, a tennis court and one showstopper of a sun terrace and you've got the Villa Riis in a nutshell. Almost. The hotel is by no means run-of-the-mill. It has a character all of its own which reflects in the service. It's homely, welcoming and, well, a little bit eccentric - much like Taormina itself.
