Here are some of the photos that I recently took for 5star Hotel Metroploe in Taormina, Sicily. You will soon be able to see them on their website and in their brochure as well. I still have a few more photos to finish and will upload them here as well once that is done….and with some more hotel info. In the meantime, enjoy the photos and start planning your trip to Sicily :)   I do recomend a visit if you are in Sicily…even just for a meal or a drink.

I am writing a post for the photo enthusiasts as well, about how I went about some of the shoots…you will find it under “Lessons” in a couple of days.

 

 

It won’t happen again

I haven’t written a post for a few weeks; I am a terrible blogger! I am feeling like a bad mother that has abandoned her baby. Dear sweet blog, forgive me. I will not forget about you like this again.

 

So what I have been up to; been down to Sicily on two trips, taking photos for 3 hotels:

 

Il Piccolo Giardino; a very charming neat, clean and modern 3 star hotel in Taormina with very friendly and helpful service and with a top location just a few stairway steps  from the main street. Really cute garden and great roof top with pool, bar sun beds and with an amazing view over Taormina, the Greek theatre and the ocean.

 

Hotel Metropole, a  magnificent 5 star Hotel with a long and interesting history,  reopened last year after 40 years of sleep, right on Corso Umberto in Taormina, with fantastic views over the sea. It’s a must see, even if you just pop in for a meal (food is fantastic) or for drinks during their weekly jazz festival.

Il Parco Degli Ulivi in Villafranca, a spacious and very tranquil 3 star resort on a secluded hill with uninterrupted views of the Sicilian countryside and the ocean; great for nature and horse lovers (yes they have horses for rent) and families with children…also great spot for weddings and business events. Infinity pool overlooking the Aeolian island and with magnificent sunsets over the sea.

 

 

As soon as I have finished the post production of all the photos I will post them here with some more info on the hotels.

 

 

Now I got to get organized for today’s outdoor photo shoot.

 

Have a great day!
