Europe's nobles began to winter there at the turn of the century; among these were D.H. Lawrence, who had a Villa there. Filled with fine medieval buildings, bougainvilleas-filled squares, bustling cafes and boutiques, and shady groves of lemons and oranges, Taormina enjoys a year-round season, and it's spectacular situation is enhanced by the looming eminence of blue, snow-copped Mount Etna. The view from the Greek theatre is one of the most impressive in all of Sicily.
