Grand Hotel Timeo, a Belmond Hotel, is a storied hideaway in the heart of Taormina. Set high on rugged cliffs, next to the Greek Theatre, its views span majestic Mount Etna and Naxos Bay. Since the mid-1800s, this tranquil enclave has proved irresistible to celebrated writers, such as DH Lawrence, and Hollywood icons alike. Within six acres of parkland, its rooms and suites are furnished in true Sicilian style, many boasting sea views. Situated in the center of town - Grand Hotel Timeo is just steps away from high street with fashionable bars - elegant boutiques and fabulous antique and local craft shops.
