Castelmola is a unique destination for your wedding in Sicily. It is an ancient village perched at the top of endless winding curves and it is called the "balcony above Taormina". From here one can see the majestic Mt. Etna, the Ionian coast, the gulf of Giardini-Naxos and the straits of Messina. The ancient arch that markes the entrance of the village is beyond the shade of almond trees and as you walk through the maze of tiny streets you can breath the feeling of "old times". Doors and windows are framed in the stone of Taormina and filled with red and pink geranium pots, The colors of houses vary from ocher to beige to antique pink, and the street signs, the house numbers and shop signs are in stone and wrought iron. |
Atmospheric shops sell Sicilian souvenirs, lace and embroidery work done by the local women. All the cobbled streets of this pictoresque village meet in the square where the imposing Cathedral stands. Framed by typical shops and cafes, this square is a chic setting for a toast after the Catholic ceremony.

You can reach this medieval village from Taormina by a scenic path (2 kms) or by car (5 kms). The road will offer you perfect postcard picture views framed by the Mediterranean vegetation blending into the blue of the sea and the sky. If you wish to get married in one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, no doubt. Castelmola is the perfect choice.
