Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo

Taormina’s Iconic Retreat: Where Timeless Glamour Overlooks the Greek Theater and Mount Etna

9.1 / 10
Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo

For nearly 150 years, Grand Hotel Timeo has enchanted travelers as Taormina’s very first hotel, a landmark of timeless elegance perched beside the ancient Greek Theater. This historic retreat has hosted a glittering guest list — from Truman Capote and D.H. Lawrence to Elizabeth Taylor and Cary Grant — each drawn by its unique mix of privacy, grandeur, and breathtaking views.

Rooms and suites are styled with classic Italian refinement and Sicilian character, many offering sweeping vistas of Mount Etna, the Mediterranean Sea, and the charming rooftops of medieval Taormina. The hotel’s lush gardens provide a peaceful oasis for morning strolls or sunset aperitivos, while the spa and wellness facilities offer moments of pure relaxation.

Just steps from cultural treasures and perched high above the coast, Grand Hotel Timeo invites guests into a world of refined beauty, romantic history, and elevated hospitality — a true icon of Sicily’s golden age of travel.
