a view down the centuries
From the balcony of my room in the Hotel Isabella on Taormina's Corso Umberto, where you can buy all the Versace and Dolce & Gabanna that you need to bring home, I could have looked right, to where the sun had risen over the Strait of Messina. Instead I looked left -- first to see where the morning light fell, and then across a few centuries of apartments and churches to the Greco-Roman theater, a reminder of just how new a newcomer to Sicily I was.
About this place:
The Hotel Isabella is located on Taormina's main street, the Corso Umberto, away from the beach crowds and convenient to the town's night life. The breakfast room features a floor window onto part of the Greco-Roman town.
