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.

The Grand Hotel Timeo just seems to get better and better you would not think it could be improved but it just excels every time you visit this is our 4th time. The place has the enviable setting of the most amazing backdrop of the Teatro to the rear where we seen Simple Minds play a concert the last of their 2025 tour, and then the front view of Naxos bay with Mount Etna as a backdrop just amazing.The whole Team remember you and call you by your name it makes you feel special the little gifts they give around the pool ice cream, fresh fruit, sun tan lotion and at no extra cost!! Also the gifts they leave you at night without doubt the best Hotel I have ever stayed in and will definitely return

Can't fault it. Just exquisite in every possible way. Views, food, spa and SERVICE, all outstanding. Don't fall for the "White Lotus" trap, this is the best hotel in Taormina if not worldwide. Just wow.

This was by far the best stay I have ever experienced. This place did not just meet my expectations but set new standards. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. The level of hospitality is simply unmatched. The view is breathtaking - overlooking the sea, with Mount Etna in the distance. Most of all, it’s the warmth and professionalism of the entire team that makes Timeo unforgettable. They have set a new personal benchmark for what a five-star hotel should be.

This was a beautiful property with extended gardens, views of Mount Etna and the sea. Great location for walking distance to stores and delicious local restaurants. The partnership with the beach resort was very easy to get to and accommodating. The entire staff was extremely friendly and professional.
