AROUND
The medieval town of Savoca sits on a rocky hill 30 km southwest of Messina, surrounded by citrus groves, vineyards and olive groves. It, alongside Forza d'Agrò, was the location for Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather. For fans of the movie, the still functioning Bar Vitelli was where Michael Corleone asked Apollonia's father to meet his daughter.
Other attractions within reach of the hotel include Mount Etna, the Alcantara gorge, and the ancient Church of Saints Peter and Paul of Agrò, built in 1117 and renovated in 1172 with a mix of Byzantine, Arab, and Norman styles. Don't miss the city of Siracusa (125km), the Baroque jewel Noto (160km), Catania (62km), and of course Taormina (15km), with its narrow streets full of shops, cafes and restaurants, and its spectacular Greek theater.
