Taormina Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Taormina

Taormina sits above the Ionian coast with a rare mix of historic streets, sea views, and landmark appeal. For apartment investors, it remains one of Sicily’s most recognisable addresses, where location and scenery are part of the value story as much as the bricks and mortar.

May 2026 brings the clearest signal: pricing continues to edge higher, while rent growth is doing more of the heavy lifting for returns. The average apartment sale price is €280,000 and was unchanged month on month, but the average price per square metre rose 3.1% in the month to €2,887. On a yearly basis, that still points to solid appreciation, with sale prices up 12.0% and the square-metre benchmark up 8.5%.

The stronger move has been on the leasing side. Average monthly rent is €1,200, also flat over the month, yet it is 41.2% higher than a year earlier. That gap helps explain why the reported yield stands at 8.65% even as purchase prices have risen. In short, Taormina’s apartment market is not showing a broad-based monthly surge, but it is still combining firm capital values with a much sharper annual increase in rents, leaving investors to balance rising entry prices against improved income metrics.
