About the Hotel
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.

Reviews for Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina
A must stop even if you only manage a fleeting visit.
Cruise stop in Messina and as I had holidayed in Taormina a few months previously, recommend we visit. On the day, we decided at the last minute to get off the ship mid morning as a few of us had been ill with a bug. Arranged a private transfer at the port and our driver whisked us through. Unfortunately we only had 2.5hrs so we rushed through the sites to allow enough time for another visit to this hotels terrace for drinks as I really enjoyed here on my last trip. Staff were excellent, setting is relaxed and comfortable and the drinks choice is very good. Not forgetting the wonderful views. A must stop even if you only manage a fleeting visit.

Beautiful hotel, great staff
We enjoyed 5 days at this wonderful hotel. The view from the terrace is fabulous, the Belmond team are excellent and the bed was probably the best we’ve slept in anywhere.

Absolutely wonderful stay!
Everyone on staff was delightful and welcoming! I really enjoyed their classes that were included in your stay. I would definitely like to return in the future, as well as other Belmond properties.

Heaven in Sicily
Absolut beauty all around. Perfect location to walk Taormina and dine around. Beautiful terraced gardens and ultra wide pool. Two Great restaurants with amazing view. A buffet breakfast brought to a superior bespoke level. Super kind staff well trained and always smiling. From arrival to check out you feel welcomed. We had a deluxe Junior suite with sea view and terrace of oversized dimensions. Marble compartimented bathroom with perfect AC and WIFI. Great towels and bedsheets. We are used to Belmond quality, this hotel is a proof of how to bring it to it’s maximalista expresión.

extremely friendly and helpful staff at a beautiful hotel
The Timeo is a truly beautiful hotel, with attentive, friendly and helpful staff in every department. We enjoyed five days there, despite having a 'tired' room for the first day (after that we were moved to a beautiful renovated one). The prices are high, but so is the quality. The only negative feature was the lack of control of the pool, with occasional groups of rowdy guests making it very unpleasant there for others who were trying to relax after a hot day's sightseeing
