Set high in the rocky hills on the east coast of Sicily, Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo has long been known as one of Italy’s most glamorous retreats. The first hotel to be built in Taormina, it sits in the most perfect location, directly in front of the Greek Theatre. Sweeping views of the coastline and majestic Mount Etna stretch out beyond.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
