Unbelievable property, service and rooms. We spent 3 nights at Hotel Timeo and despite being in beautiful Taormina we didnt want to leave the property! Huge perk is the access (beach or otherwise) to their sister property on the water - Belmond Saint Andrea - they treat you as if your one of theirs. Hands down the best Hotel in Taormina ( even better then FS )

Breakast is served on a balcony overlooking a garden and Mountain View. Spectacular. Combination of amazing Italian buffet items and Ala carte menu items. Fantastic array of juices and fruit. Really great. Location is specular, practically built into the Antico Teatro and shopping district. Rooms and balconies vary even within room types since it is a restored hotel. Some are great and some are just decent.

It was such a fantastic time. I visited this hotel for my honeymoon. All the staff treated us kindly and introduced us to a nice room. I can't forget the ancient room and the wonderful view. Not only breakfast, but also the restaurant where I had lunch and the bar I used for dinner were all perfect. I won't forget the well-cared garden. It's such a wonderful place that I want to visit Sicily again later. Thank you to everyone at the hotel.

Beautiful

Beautiful property, staff, service. Everyone so friendly and welcoming. We only ate in the bar as the restaurant menus did not appeal - food and drink were good here but rather over-priced. Amazing views of the sea, coastline and mount Etna. Great to have a heated swimming pool, although it was closed until 10am so disappointed we couldn’t have a pre-breakfast swim. Very enjoyable stay overall. Thankyou to all the wonderful staff!

This property should be ranked 10 as far as we are concerned. The staff went over and beyond. We hated leaving them. The property was exceptional and all you would expect from a five star hotel. There is nothing we could have done to improve our stay. They even had little going away gifts forus. We loved it

If there was a rating higher than excellent my wife and I would select it for all categories!! The property location was second to none, and the envy of the thousands of tourists passing by the luxurious front gate and vine covered portico. The staff anticipated every need and request and attended immediately to any comment or request. Food was exceptional thanks no doubt to the Michelin rated chef. Appointments in the rooms were second to none. The staff, from the valet to the front desk, to the waiters, to housekeeping, and the managers all made us feel welcome and like family. They greet you with your name and recall any inquiries about seeing a sight, or stores you might visit. The history and pedigree of the Grand Timeo added to the ambience and special atmosphere of this unique treasure. Put it on your bucket list!!! Will be viewing all Belmond properties before booking any other hotel. Words cannot express our pleasure and satisfaction.
