Casa Cuseni, Patrimonio Culturale Immateriale UNESCO
Via Leonardo Da Vinci, 5-7, 98039 Taormina, Italy – Excellent location - show map
A truly unique stay in a historic home. We stayed in the Greta Garbo suite, which had a huge balcony with a fantastic view of Taormina Bay. It is high above the town a bit of a drive up but less than 5 mins walk on foot to the town square. Gardens are beautiful and a lovely looking pool and, of course, the museum, which is basically the downstairs living and dining room, the tour and history is really fascinating. An unusual place but worth the experience.
