About

Overlooking the Bay of Taormina from a spectacular hillside setting, Grand Hotel Timeo is one of Italy's most iconic hotels. As Belmond's first property, it has welcomed artists, writers and discerning travellers since 1873, offering timeless elegance, impeccable service and some of the most breathtaking views in Sicily. Surrounded by lush Mediterranean gardens and set beside the ancient Greek Theatre, the hotel effortlessly blends historic grandeur with the relaxed spirit of island living.

From here, the beauty of Taormina unfolds at your doorstep. Wander through charming piazzas lined with artisan boutiques, enjoy long Sicilian lunches beneath the afternoon sun or take a boat to the crystal-clear waters of Isola Bella.
