Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina is ravishing, stylish and incredibly seductive, particularly with those endless views accompanying you at every turn. Both the restaurant and bar terraces are suitably placed to lap up this evocative panorama, while feasting on delectable regional cuisine or sipping a chilled glass of Sicilian wine; the cloud-wreathed volcano is an exceptional sight you could never tire of. When you’re not reclining on a sun lounger by the outdoor pool, relishing some time to yourself in the spa or drinking in those spellbinding views, you might be out wandering the streets of Taormina or meeting local artisans in their workshops. Belmond also provides boat trips around the idyllic coastline, tickets to performances taking place in the ancient Greek amphitheatre next-door, and there’s even a special ‘Godfather’ tour by Fiat to Savoca, where you can immerse yourself in the backdrop of this iconic Francis Ford Cappola movie. All of these are just a few of the many carefully curated, unforgettable experiences on offer at this iconic property.
