Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina
About the hotel
"Set in the rugged cliffs of Sicily’s Taormina, the enchanting Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo boasts breathtaking views, acres of magical gardens and a wonderfully indulgent Wellness Centre."
You may be right in the heart of Taormina, but you’ll feel like you’ve stumbled upon your very own hideaway. The magic grows from the moment that you lay eyes on the delightful entrance, swathed as it is in bougainvillaea. Through the doors, everything inspires from the warmth of the doorman (a part-time aria singer) to the mixologist’s fine aperitivos. Soak up the sun by the pool or stroll through acres of lush garden graced with tropical palms and wildflowers.... Show more
You may be right in the heart of Taormina, but you’ll feel like you’ve stumbled upon your very own hideaway. The magic grows from the moment that you lay eyes on the delightful entrance, swathed as it is in bougainvillaea. Through the doors, everything inspires from the warmth of the doorman (a part-time aria singer) to the mixologist’s fine aperitivos. Soak up the sun by the pool or stroll through acres of lush garden graced with tropical palms and wildflowers. There’s even a kitchen garden, and the Timeo Restaurant uses only the freshest local ingredients for its Sicilian dishes, whether that be Mozia salt or Bronte pistachios.
Named for the painter who made the hotel famous, Otto Geleng boasts a Michelin star and fresh Mediterranean cuisine with sweeping views and room for just 16 guests. The Pool Bar & Grill make it easy to enjoy a light meal and a refreshing cocktail, and private picnics in the gardens are available if you want to make the most of a beautiful afternoon.
Choose a room with a view from those in the main building or those in the adjacent Villa Flora. Elegantly appointed and classic in every way, if you want the best of the best, the Presidential Suite comes with its own Jacuzzi.
There’s no better place to take in the dramatic sunset than the hotel’s Literary Terrace. The panoramas need to be seen to be believed: Truman Capote enjoyed them so much that he stayed for two years; D. H. Lawrence wrote Lady Chatterley’s Lover here. Writer’s block? It’s here that you’ll want to sit and craft your messages home.
Each time you gaze out across medieval Taormina, it’s like seeing the world anew. With clusters of terracotta roofs giving way to the shimmering blue sea and dramatic Mount Etna looming on the horizon, views here are a transcendent experience.
You can find more of this little island’s treasures at the Wellness Centre. Try the Signature Sicilian Sensations treatment that features a lava ash exfoliation, a pumice stone footbath and handmade soap using local extra virgin olive oil. In summer, you can enjoy movies and champagne on the beach, hire private beachfront cabanas or request an open-air yoga class.
