We stayed at this wonderful hotel on the last three days of our Sicilian trip. The hotel looks over the bay and across to puffing Mount Etna - get a balcony room looking that way if you can. The Greek theater is just around the corner. From the moment we arrived we were made welcome with all the charm and... More

We go to Timeo for drinks/food every time we pass by Taormina. The service is impeccable the standards very high and the view simply unique! Timeo is the only hotel that has got direct access to the Greek Theatre from the back and breathtaking views of the bay and Etna from the front. If you are in Taormina go and... More

Superb hotel with fabulous service, great breakfasts and lovely rooms. Only downside, if driving there, do get instructions on how to find the hotel and how to avoid the one-way streets! More

Grand Hotel Timeo. This beautiful old hotel is right next door to the entrance to the Greek Theatre. Parts of the auditorium can even be seen from the hotel terrace. The service from Luigi the head bar man is charming and experienced- once he hears your name, he remembers it for the rest of your stay. The concierges, as would... More

We booked for 3 nights in April and were upgraded to a two-bedroom Presidential suite overlooking the bay and Mt. Etna. The hotel is right next to Teatro Greco. The suite is huge and very comfortable. The terrace has a gazebo and a Jacuzzi at the far end. Breakfast on our terrace was a wonderful experience. However, if you are... More

We stayed for four nights and from the moment we entered the hotel we were treated wonderfully. We couldn't fault the hotel in any respect and this was trully a holiday. Obviously one takes a deep breath when getting the bill but if you are working to a budget this isn't the place to go! More

Stayed five nights in April in top floor of Villa Flora with a great rooftop patio overlooking the bay and Mt. Etna. The grounds and everything in the hotel is beautiful and the room is very comfortable and luxurious. The breakfast buffet is truly world class and I have hundreds of top hotels to compare with.
