WHY WE LIKE THIS HOTEL

Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel has been standing tall in Taormina, on Sicily’s eastern coast, for almost 150 years. It is one of the original stops on the Grand Tour and the first hotel in the city, blending history with stunning style. The hotel offers a dreamy atmosphere for the 21st century, akin to the works of Slim Aarons. Mount Etna, Europe’s largest and most active volcano, overlooks the grand hotel, and its mythical energy adds to the Timeo’s charm. The historic villa is unapologetically opulent, with rich marbles, hardwood floors, beautiful furniture and paintings, making it a feast for the eyes. The sublime pool area is picture-perfect from any angle, and the lavishly manicured six-acre compound of verdant tiered gardens is a sight to behold. Timeo has carved out a veritable Eden escape on the hill, making it an ideal getaway.

This is just one of the hotels that we recommend in this area. If your favourite is not featured just let your consultant know – we will be happy to book it for you!
