If you have the chance, it's definitely worth staying at this hotel. I've been there last summer with my girlfriend and her family and it was awesome. Her dad got an upgrade to the presidential suite: WOW is the only word coming to my mind! We all got very nice rooms with big balcony. I could for sure get used... More

This is a truly magical hotel, right on the coast with the most breath taking views. The staff are incredibly friendly and the breakfasts are superb, not only is the food faultless but the views from the terrace incredible. The interior of the hotel is classic and timeless and everywhere is spotlessly clean, I even saw them polishing the glass... More

We stayed at the Timeo for 5 nights in October as part of our honeymoon. This is a beautiful and grand hotel set in immaculate grounds with a heated outdoor pool and very attentive service. We had upgraded to a 'side sea view' room which was a duplex room in the hotel's annex Villa Flora. Whilst this was beautiful I... More

Impeccable service and room condition. We were there this summer and had the room with a terrace which is actually kind of the rooftop so could see the whole taormina town and bay. Stunning view. Great amenities and excellent location. Food quality probably the best in Taormina. We had dinner twice at the hotel restaurant for its pasta and fish... More

After extensive research into where to go, we settled on Sicily. First of all, we wanted to stay in a modern resort, however, with us not being golfers, we realized we might be abit isolated! We heard from friends that the Grand Hotel Timeo was wonderful and so we took a chance and booked it with no further thought. What... More

I was warmly welcomed with a big smile when I left the car to enter the hotel. It was late in the evening. The check in process was very smooth. The staff made me feel truly special by speaking to me with easy Italian words at the very first moment they saw my Spanish passport. I entered my room and... More

We stayed at Grand Hotel Timeo during the last week of October which is at the end of the season. The hotel was full, the service impeccable. We stayed at the Villa Flora which is close to the main building and offers more privacy. The hotel property is wonderful, with beautiful gardens hosting a spa (including Finnish and Turkish saunas),... More

This is a really excellent hotel, fantastic service and beautiful views of Taormina and Mt Etna. I was staying for work so only had a single room. If I'm honest my room was not really up to the standard I would expect from an Orient-Express hotel and the shower certainly needed a refurb. I did get the chance to see... More

We stayed for three nights at the Grand Hotel Timeo and our experience was a perfect combination of old world charm in a beautiful setting. The hotel and grounds are extremely well maintained and the service is very good. The food at the restaurant was interesting and well prepared. The site of the hotel - overlooking the City of Taormina... More
