Grand Hotel Timeo, a Belmond Hotel, is a storied hideaway in the heart of Taormina. Set high on rugged cliffs, next to the magnificent Greek Theatre, its views span majestic Mount Etna and shimmering Naxos Bay. Since the mid-1800s, this tranquil enclave has proved irresistible to celebrated writers and Hollywood icons alike. Its famed Literary Terrace has welcomed Oscar Wilde, DH Lawrence and Truman Capote, as well as dolce vita icons Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. Though close to the action, the hotel is in its own serene world, far from the crowds.

Our stay at Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina was absolutely exceptional! The service was truly six-star level – attentive, discreet, and genuinely kind. Our suite was spacious, elegant, and offered a breathtaking view of the sea and Mount Etna. The hotel itself is beautifully located, right next to the ancient Greek Theatre, in the heart of Taormina. If you’re hesitating between Grand Hotel Timeo and San Domenico Palace, I would definitely recommend Grand Hotel Timeo. The only small downside was the restaurant menu – a bit difficult to choose from, and it could use a refresh. Other than that, this place is pure magic!

When you don’t really expect anything good after a cancelled flight and a long night trip, when the moon is shining bright and there’s not a single taxi in the middle of the night — the hotel saves you, picks you up, welcomes you warmly. Then you lie down in bed that smells like mandarins, and in the morning you greet the sun with a smile on your face. This hotel, set on the hillside of Taormina, has an amazing view that you never get tired of looking at. The attention and care of the staff are truly their strongest sides — special greetings to Fabio! Thank you, Timeo! Our time in Taormina with you was wonderful!
