GRAND HOTEL TIMEO, A BELMOND HOTEL

A glamorous atmosphere and panoramic views, enhanced by the luxury of the surroundings and contemporary facilities

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.
