In the Historic Heart of Taormina
In the Historic Heart of Taormina
Welcome to Home29, your refined retreat in one of Sicily’s most iconic destinations. Located in the very heart of Taormina, just steps from the lively Corso Umberto, this elegant residence offers the perfect blend of local charm and contemporary comfort. Within walking distance, you’ll find boutiques, cafés, and typical restaurants — and only a few minutes away, the legendary Greek Theatre, one of the most evocative landmarks in southern Italy. Home29 is designed for those who want to enjoy the best of Taormina, without giving up the peace and exclusivity of a private home. Here, everything is at your fingertips — yet tranquility awaits behind your door.
A Panoramic Terrace with Etna and History
The private terrace of Home29 is one of its most treasured features. From this elevated, open-air space, guests can admire the ever-changing silhouette of Mount Etna, especially captivating at sunrise and sunset. Among the rooftops, you’ll also catch a glimpse of the Greek Theatre, adding a layer of historic wonder to the view. Whether you start the day with an espresso and the scent of lemon trees in the air, or end it with a glass of Sicilian wine under the stars, this panoramic space captures the soul of Taormina. Furnished with comfortable sun loungers and a dining area, it’s perfect for sunbathing, alfresco breakfasts, or simply unwinding as the light changes over the volcano.
A Local Mural that Tells a Story
Home29’s identity is deeply tied to the artistic spirit of Taormina. As you arrive, you’ll be welcomed by a vibrant, custom-made mural that decorates the home’s exterior — a piece commissioned from a local artist to reflect the essence of Sicilian creativity. This mural is more than just a decorative feature: it is a bold expression of tradition meeting innovation, and a celebration of the town’s rich visual culture. It’s a place to pause, to photograph, and to connect with the artistic soul of the neighborhood even before stepping inside.
Interiors with Sicilian Soul and Contemporary Flair Inside, Home29 welcomes you with soft lighting, warm colors and curated details. The décor is a refined blend of modern design and Sicilian tradition: artisan ceramics, wooden textures, natural fabrics, and artwork by local painters all contribute to an atmosphere that is both elegant and heartfelt. The home offers two spacious and luminous bedrooms, each with its own private en-suite bathroom. Every detail is designed for comfort, privacy and serenity, making the space ideal for couples, families or friends traveling together. The living area is both functional and stylish, while subtle touches — like traditional tile accents and handmade pieces — remind you at every turn that you are in a place with a strong cultural identity.
A Bright Winter Garden for Everyday Calm Another unique highlight of Home29 is the indoor winter garden — a bright, glass-enclosed veranda that brings the outdoors in. Furnished with a soft, welcoming sofa and decorated with fragrant lemon plants, this space offers a relaxed break from the city’s rhythm. Whether reading a book in the natural light, sipping a tea, or chatting after a day of exploration, the winter garden is a gentle, peaceful corner for daily rituals — and an example of how every part of the house is designed to offer comfort without compromise.
Everything You Need — Modern Comfort, Thoughtfully Included At Home29, design meets functionality. The entire property is equipped with everything you need for a seamless stay:
Air conditioning in every room, plus central heating for the cooler months
High-speed Wi-Fi, ideal for work or streaming
Smart TV with access to major platforms
A washing machine, useful for longer stays
A fully equipped kitchen, including oven, stovetop, fridge, moka pot, and cooking utensils, perfect for trying Sicilian recipes with ingredients from the local markets
Whether you’re staying for a weekend or several days, Home29 is a home that works around your needs — and lets you relax fully in the process.
Authentic Hospitality by a Local Family
What sets Home29 apart is the personal, heartfelt welcome that defines your stay. The property is lovingly managed by Fabrizio and his family, who take great care in offering a home that feels both curated and warm. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted with genuine kindness — and if you’re looking for restaurant tips, special places to visit, or hidden spots only locals know, Fabrizio will be happy to share suggestions. This is not a corporate rental: it’s a family project filled with soul, where hospitality comes naturally, and where guests often return not just for the house, but for the human experience that comes with it.
Parking in the Center: A Rare Advantage
Taormina is famous for its pedestrian alleys and historic layout, which makes parking especially valuable. While Home29 does not have its own private garage, a secure external parking facility is located just 2 minutes away on foot. This service, not managed by Home29 but conveniently close, allows guests to arrive and settle in without the stress of searching for parking in the town’s narrow streets. In a place like Taormina, having a trusted nearby solution is a true asset — one more detail that makes Home29 a practical and pleasant choice.
In accordance with local regulations, a city tax of €3 per person per night is to be paid on arrival

We are a family of four, used to staying at very nice accommodations and this place did not disappoint. Very clean and spacious apartment, within steps of restaurants, shops and private garage parking just around the corner-the perfect location! Fabrizio was wonderful in directing us upon arrival and communicating throughout our stay. The balcony, sunroom and rooftop space overlooking Mt. Etna were great places to relax, making it very special. Would definitely recommend! Our only regret is not staying longer.
We absolutely loved our stay In the Historic Heart of Taormina! The location couldn’t have been better — right in the centre, surrounded by great restaurants, little shops, and only a short walk to the funicular that takes you down to the beach.A big thank you to Fabrizio, who was such a kind and helpful host. He organised our transfers for us and shared great tips about the area, including some lovely local restaurants we might have otherwise missed. His help made our time in Taormina so much easier and more enjoyable.The apartment was clean, comfortable, and a perfect place to come back to after a day exploring this beautiful town. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Taormina!
This rental was in an excellent location, central to everything in Taormina. Parking was a bit of a pain, but it was explained before we arrived, so it was expected. Fabrizio met us at the unit to help us check-in, and helped us with our bags. The unit was extremely well equipped and Fabrizio thought of everything we could possibly need or want including fruit and drinks to start off our stay more comfortably. He even provided little tote bags for us to take! Our stay was very comfortable and we would highly recommend to others.
