Overlooking the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Taormina, with a breathtaking view of the iconic Isola Bella, Villa Falconara is a unique residence, steeped in the charm of its centuries-old history.
This extraordinary estate, dating back to the early 20th century, was built in 1911 by Alec Nelson, great-grandson of Admiral Horatio Nelson and fifth Duke of Bronte. Over the years, Villa Falconara has hosted distinguished guests, including King George V and Queen Mary of England in 1925, as commemorated by a plaque still present on the property.
The Villa spans three levels with a total surface area of 1,050 sqm, surrounded by a private park of 50,000 sqm, a natural amphitheater overlooking the sea. The garden is home to valuable artistic and historical elements, including a temple dedicated to the god Pan, a Roman tomb, the natural Falcon Cave, Tuscan-style columns, bronze sculptures, a stone fountain, and a sundial.
Inside, the villa features 19 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, with spacious rooms adorned with large doors and windows that open onto the lush park or panoramic terraces with spectacular sea views.
Completing the property is a second three-level building, located just across from the villa, with a large plot of land and expansion potential.
An exclusive opportunity for those seeking to experience the timeless beauty of Sicily in a residence rich in history and charm.
