From the moment were we're met at Catania airport to the moment were we're taken back, service was outstanding. The location is right in the centre of Taormina. Grounds are immaculate. Check-in was friendly and efficient and we were escorted to our room which was in a separate building away from the main hotel. This can be a positive (nice... More

Regrettably I am not one of those who can afford $600 up a night for a hotel, but all those who go to the Greek theatre will pass the spectacular entrance to this hotel, and see its fantastic position. Reading the reviews I noted that no one commented on the hotel's gardens which stretch all the way down to Via... More

My wife and I stayed for a week at the Grand Hotel Timeo at the end of May...we are expecting our first child in the autumn and so this was our last holiday as just a two, and it certainly did not disappoint. Everything about the Grand Hotel Timeo is outstanding, and I couldn't recommend it more highly if you... More

My sister and I recently stayed at Grand Hotel Timeo. It was excellent in every respect. The staff could not be more helpful. We had a junior suite overlooking the swimming pool and it was perfect in every way. Even the staff at the pool said good morning when I stepped onto our balcony. The buffet breakfast was outstanding. The... More

Would give 7 stars if possible. Exquisite property and grounds but best of all is the staff. From David the doorman, Anna the PR exec, Luca the GM to housekeeping every member of the staff tried to make our stay the best possible experience. Felt like I was leaving friends when we checked out. Can't wait to retun.

We just finished a 3 night stay here, and while I agree with many of the comments in recent reviews, our experience was not as uniformly positive as others. On the positive side: - The public areas of the hotel are very nice, in keeping with expectations for a top 5* property in Italy. - The breakfast is one of... More

Arriving by own car is somewhat stressful, make sure you get directions - I did not. Once arrived at the parking lot door below the property, perfection started: Such an extremely warm welcome can only take place in Italy at a top property.

This was our second visit to the Timeo and I am always slightly nervous about second visits. Will it be as good? Will the staff have changed and the service dropped? Our first visit was memorable for all the right reasons and I crossed my fingers that we would not be disappointed. We weren't. Yes, some staff had moved on... More

My cousin and I stayed for 10 days at this fabulous hotel. We were made to feel so welcome and special.The location and views are incredible, especially from the terrace bar.

I stayed on two separate occasions. The first room was fabulous, the continental breakfast great! The second room was not as good as the first and some items from the breakfast were missing which when queried were supplied. Overall WE were happy with our hotel experience. Timeo Hotel is an institution in Taormina! Thank you!
