We had an absolutely fantastic stay and couldn't recommend this villa more.It was the perfect place for our large group, with generous communal spaces where everyone could come together, while still offering plenty of private rooms and quiet corners to relax. The villa is beautifully designed, incredibly spacious, and immediately felt like a home away from home.The real highlight, though, was the hospitality. Karin, Diego, and Paolo were exceptional throughout our stay. They were always responsive, incredibly helpful, and went above and beyond to organise activities and make everything effortless for our group. Their warmth and genuine care created such a welcoming, family-like atmosphere that made the whole experience even more special. We would love to come back!

Amazing stay at the Lemon Tree Villa.

I rented the Lemon Tree villa for my family and friends for our wedding at the Four Seasons in Taormino. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with the owners, Karen and Diego. Because Karen is a wedding planner, we were able to hold a cocktail party for all of our guests when they arrived. All of the food and wines were local. It’s a very short drive to Taormino. The villa was clean, and the owners were very responsive when our guests needed anything. The view from the villa is breathtaking, probably better than the view from Taormino. The villa is large, and everyone has their own apartment so they can spread out. I would highly recommend renting this villa.

Perfect Location with Awesome Hosts

We had a big family trip to Sicily (33 with 25 at The Lemon Tree). Plenty of room to accomodate us at The Lemon Tree. Very spacous property and it is ideally situated on the ridge opposite Taormina and Castelmola. Post card views of both towns, the Mediterranean, and Mt. Etna. The fit can hike around the moutain to Castlemola. Salt water pool was awesome. Balcony was perfect for hosting dinners and nighlt unwinding. Bar on premises is amply stocked. Karen and Diego prepared/arranged two of our dinners that were outstanding. We also had them prepare a full breakfast, and then a couple of days of a continental breakfasts. The croissants were outrageous. They had plenty of contacts/referrals to help us arrange day events including a winery visit and a boat outing. They were responsive to any issues that cropped up. It was just an outstanding location and Karen and Diego are the perfect hosts. Best property for a large group that we have been visited, and this is at least our fifth large family trip. I can't say enough good things about Karen and DIego and their property.

It was a vacation of a lifetime! My wife and I, our six children and spouses and nine grandchildren spent a fantastic week at the Lemon Tree. Karen was a special host who was able to accommodate all our needs. From arranging transportation for our excursions(thank you Angelo!) to arranging a tour guide for us in my grandfather's home town to fantastic full and Continental breakfasts to an amazing huge family dinner which was above and beyond! The views are breathtaking and having the sun come up over Taormina while sipping our morning coffee is something to behold. There was so much to do and see that made our trip go by way too fast. I'll be forever indebted for the experience that my entire family enjoyed! Grazie Mille Karen!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Cacopardo

Host profile image
Karen and Diego married in Castelmola, Sicily in 2007 then set about converting a family building into The Lemon Tree Villa. Karen is from the North West of England and is an avid Liverpool fan and Diego was born in Taormina, Sicily but spent most of his life in the UK and is an avid Chelsea fan. A great combination with plenty of love and banter!
They live between England and Sicily and over the years have successfully grown The Lemon Tree into a popular location for tourist holiday accommodation in the heart of Sicily. They are on hand to provide information and support throughout your holiday and have contacts for pretty much anything you need!
