Who We Are
Sara House
Famous for having hosted artists, actors, and international figures over time, the villa boasts a fascinating past. Until 2006, it belonged to Odd Godager, a Norwegian shipowner, who maintained it with great care. His close friend Øistein Thurman, a painter known for his contribution to Norwegian modernist abstract art, also lived nearby.Sara House has also been a film set for several films; the film Popcorn and Chips, starring Franco D'Angelo, was filmed here. Among the potential buyers for the villa was Ron Wood, legendary guitarist of the Rolling Stones. The deal fell through when the identity of the potential buyer was discovered, and the price was raised.
Residence in Taormina
where time stands still and dreams find a home
It was only a few years later that Sara and Pancrazio Parisi discovered it. One look was enough to fall in love. Struck by the unique energy that reigns within these walls and the evocative power of the landscape, they decided to make it their own and transform it into their own little corner of the world—an experience to share with those who appreciate authentic beauty. They also live with their children, Joshua and Leon, who are growing up immersed in the nature, light, and harmony that make Sara House a truly special place.
Today, Sara House is a private residence that discreetly opens its doors to a select number of guests. Currently available is an exclusive apartment overlooking the pool, with breathtaking sea views, perfect for relaxing immersed in the Sicilian light. The garden surrounding the villa is a true botanical jewel, cared for with love and respect for the environment. Among its wonders are majestic cycads, a towering dragon tree (Dracaena draco), and splendid flowering bougainvillea, whose vibrant colors frame the house and enhance its Mediterranean atmosphere.
