Fora‘s take

Villa Sant 'Andrea is at ocean level, with direct access to an iconic and recently redone beach club. (Enjoy the exclusive access while everyone else is sitting on top of the bluff.) Hop in the free shuttle to get back up the mountain and into town.

Since the 1950s, Villa Sant'Andrea has been a symbol of Italian elegance on the scenic Bay of Mazzarò. Originally a private villa, this beachfront retreat retains the charm of an elegant home. Guests are welcomed with freshly made Sicilian sweets and can enjoy hand-picked local fruit at breakfast. Balconies adorned with bright geraniums and terraced gardens leading down to the pebbled beach create a relaxing atmosphere. With its private beach and personalized service, the hotel delivers an authentic Sicilian seaside experience marked by genuine Sicilian hospitality and luxurious amenities.

Rooms and suites

The hotel offers 71 rooms and suites that are light and airy, featuring king or twin beds, plush fabrics and fine artwork. En suite marble bathrooms add a touch of luxury, while balconies and terraces offer views of the ocean or gardens. The Signature Suites, such as the Ionica Pool Suite, include private pools and elegant décor that celebrates Sicilian craftsmanship. The Villa Sant'Andrea Suite lets guests spread out with a large living area and furnished terrace, ideal for al fresco dining. Junior Suites with sitting areas are perfect for couples seeking extra space, while the expansive Signature Suites cater to families.
