Enjoy a luxurious holiday in Italy.
Teetering on the dramatic Sicilian cliff-tops, Grand Hotel Timeo is renowned worldwide as one of Italy’s most glamorous and awe-inspiring retreats.
The hotel’s prominent position, set high in Taormina’s rocky hills on the east coast, provides some of the most show-stopping views in Sicily. Sweeping vistas of Europe’s largest active volcano, majestic Mount Etna, are a beautiful backdrop to the impressive Greek Theatre that sits directly behind the hotel.
For 150 years Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo has seduced guests with its six acres of lovely parkland awash with scarlet geraniums, bougainvillea and fragrant jasmine and citrus trees that brush the glistening waves. Yet it’s the magical and romantic Sicilian views that has captivated and lured artists, literary giants and stars of the silver screen to grace the grounds. The likes of DH Lawrence, Tennessee Williams and Audrey Hepburn have all reclined on the Literary Terrace and honed their craft.
Grand Hotel Timeo certainly sets the standards for luxury. Very much a landmark of the region, in the shadow of the Greek theatre, it is the perfect spot to admire the sensational spectacles that Sicily has to offer.
The accommodation is stylish and brimming with Italian character. Dressed elegantly with ornate furnishings, the balcony or terrace views over clustered terracotta rooftops to the Bay of Taormina are mesmerising.
Oozing class and sophistication a luxury holiday to Grand Hotel Timeo also offers delicious cuisine. Timeo Restaurant frames the most scenic vistas of Mount Etna and Naxos Bay, perfect for an al fresco feast of locally-sourced Sicilian favourites. For an extra special moment, Otto Geleng serves traditional dishes with a modern twist, accompanied by fine wines. There’s also a pool restaurant and bar serving light bite, brick-oven pizzas and freshly grilled fish that you enjoy in between cooling off in the pool, washed down by a refreshing Sicilian lemonade.
For a slice of beach life, hop onto the complimentary shuttle to the private beach at Grand Hotel Timeo’s sister hotel; here you can book a cabana and dine by the sea. There’s also a lavish spa at Grand Hotel Timeo, where luxurious treatments are fuelled by lava and pumice.
Book an excursion to explore the local area, perhaps you’d like to climb Mount Etna followed by a cookery lesson? Or maybe travelling by Fiat 500 and follow in Al Pacino’s footsteps, visiting Bar Vitelli and the Church of St Lucia, is more up your street?
