It was the favourite room of the famous Swedish Actress Greta Garbo during her first stay in Taormina. The Actress chose this room for its panoramic terrace with a magical view of Mount Etna, Europe’s highest volcano, and the Gulf of Naxos below. It is the central room of the mansion, bright, quiet, suitable for writing and painting or simply resting. The suite consists of a large living room, a bedroom and a bathroom with shower.
The room was restored in 2024. The paintings and antique furniture in this room were declared Italian National Cultural Heritage on 22 March 2021. The room has all the most modern comforts (high-speed Wifi with optical fibre, central heating, minibar, telephone, satellite TV system, Bang & Olufsen audio-visual system, safe).
