The Grand Hotel Timeo, perched amongst the hills of Taormina, with views of Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea, embodies a fusion of effortless glamour and cinematic charm. Cultured and cosmopolitan conversations enliven the long evenings on our panoramic terrace, accompanied by the call of the sea, which is never too far away. Authentic Sicilian warmth fills our rooms and spills out into our splendid gardens, whilst signature cocktails and Michelin-starred cuisine awaken the senses.
We were the first hotel to be built in Taormina, over 150 years ago, celebrating the history and charm of Mount Etna and the Greek Theatre. This is a place where the ancient and the modern come together in harmony, where the sweeping views that once inspired great artists and literary masters still enchant like nowhere else, and where our terraced gardens intoxicate with the scents of orange blossom and neroli.
The lively centre of Taormina and the secluded Bay of Mazzarò, one of Sicily’s most beautiful beaches, are just a few minutes’ walk away.
Our guests can choose from 40 rooms and suites, most of which have terraces or balconies offering breathtaking views of the coast.
The décor evokes traditional Sicilian style, offering a charming blend of elegance and comfort. A classic that never fails to enchant.
The culinary offering at the Grand Hotel Timeo ranges from Otto Geleng’s Michelin-starred cuisine – which celebrates Chef Toro’s Sicily with just eight tables overlooking Mount Etna – to the authentic traditions of the Timeo Restaurant, with its local flavours and enchanting views.
The Timeo Bar, on the Terrazza Letteraria, offers unforgettable aperitifs with cocktails inspired by the landscape. For a more informal experience, the Timeo Grill serves grilled meat and fresh fish by the pool.



Nestled within the historic gardens of the Grand Hotel Timeo, the wellness area offers an oasis of tranquillity with exclusive Dior-designed treatment rooms, suspended amongst the cypress trees. These sophisticated ‘treehouses’, decorated with the iconic Toile de Jouy, welcome guests for personalised wellness rituals inspired by the excellence of Dior Skincare. The menu of signature treatments includes unique experiences such as the Dolce Vita Solar Glow and the Constellation holistic massage.
Our wellness ambassador enriches the experience with yoga, meditation and fitness classes, guiding guests on a journey towards harmony between body and mind, in perfect harmony with the surrounding nature.
The Grand Hotel Timeo offers a range of experiences to help you discover Sicily, combining culture and nature, thanks to a dedicated team.
Activities range from yoga and meditation classes to cookery classes, such as a session on how to make pasta alla Norma or Sicilian cannoli. Olive oil and local wine tastings, along with cocktail classes, round off the food and drink offering.
These experiences enrich your stay, offering an authentic immersion in the flavours and traditions of the island.
