A rare find in Taormina, Sicily: Daneau

After attending the Taormina Film Festival I began to venture out into the shops of Taormina, Sicily. Picturesque as a romantic movie and enchanting as Disney World is to a kid. There is always something amazing around every corner.

I would like to introduce to you a little store as enchanting as Taormina: Daneu.

Daneu has lovely table runners, hand towels, napkins, eclectic and gorgeous glasses, ceramics, and other little knick knacks for the home that you shouldn't miss.

Start your trip off with a visit to the store for a charming & proper welcome to Taormina.

Just to stop into the store to visit with the owner, Ms. Adriane Daneau is an absolute delight. She is an amazing person to sit and visit with as browsing the lovely items and merchandise in the store. Daneau has been in the family since 1885 and still hosts visitors and clients from all around the world.

Former clients of the store have been that of Stanley Marcus, former President of Neiman Marcus, whom purchased  puppets from  Daneau which were then given to the University of Texas theatre department.

Daneau had already made an impression on Texas.  So I got a little piece of Texas on the trip in Taormina, and became friends with the store owner who always had a story to tell and no matter the weather, always a smile on her face. It was always such a pleasure to visit with Adriane.

If you find yourself in Taormina stop into Daneau for a lovely visit - because the people and the store are always delightful!

There have been so many visitors to the store she may have a story from your state! Enjoy your stay in Sicily!
You saw it here first on Flavor of the Week. Buon Viaggio! Enjoy.
