There are places you don’t just visit.
You experience them.

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
Scacciapensieri is one of these.
A house suspended between sky, sea, and lava, named by guests themselves “The house in the air”.

Sitting comfortably on the sofa, your gaze drifts into a majestic natural setting:
in front, the sea changing color throughout the day;
on the clearest nights, the Syracuse lighthouse appears as a distant signal;
up to the right, Etna, the absolute queen, ready to surprise with sudden sparks and tongues of fire.

Large windows wrap around the whole house, turning every room into a privileged viewpoint.
Here, there’s no urge to go out: every day is a new show, every light tells a story.

The interiors speak of authenticity.
Old family furniture, original Sicilian pieces, blend with artworks and a refined collection of 20th-century Italian paintings.
Every detail is carefully chosen, every object has a soul.

Outside, the patio reserved for guests is a peaceful corner.
In the shade of the carob tree, among walls decorated with ancient stones, you breathe always fresh and revitalizing air.
An ideal place to slow down, read, reflect… or simply think of nothing at all.

The location is one of its great strengths:
slightly on a hill, away from city chaos, but just 5 minutes on foot from Taormina’s Historic Center, the Greek Theatre, the Cathedral, and all the city’s cultural and social attractions.

For those arriving by car, private parking is available by reservation.

Scacciapensieri is not just a house.
It’s a privileged viewpoint over Taormina.
It’s a suspended retreat, where time seems to slow down.
