Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo

Hotel details

Set high on the sun-kissed cliffs of Mount Tauro on the east coast of Sicily, the Grand Hotel Timeo in Taormina sits in an idyllic location, with panoramic views of the coastline, the Greek theatre and the majestic Mount Etna volcano. Guests can expect a warm welcome in this stylish hotel, from staff who are dedicated to meeting guests needs and passionate about their breathtaking region.

All 70 rooms and suites at the hotel are beautifully decorated with typical Italian flair and features that include spacious marble bathrooms, jacuzzis and private terraces with stupendous ocean views. Evenings here should always begin with a cocktail on the ‘Literary Terrace’, enjoying an iridescent sun set, before sampling the spectacular Sicilian and Mediterranean cuisine of the hotel’s restaurant.

For those guests wishing to test a very special spa experience, the hotel’s wellness centre set in five acres of fragrant gardens, produces its own scent-based products that form the basis of a unique range of luxurious massage and aromatherapy treatments.

And for privacy that befits such an exclusive hotel, guests have the use of a private beach at Villa Sant’Andrea (reached by complimentary service shuttle) and can explore the beautiful coast of Taormina by complimentary boat exscursion.

And when it finally becomes time to visit the exquisite town of Taormina, guests will enjoy a short stroll to the place that Johann Wolfgang Goethe, once famously described as “a piece of paradise on earth”.
