This is a really nice hotel in a great location. The views from the terraces across the bay to Mt. Etna are spectacular. While it's a good 5 star, it's also not too stuffy and we found the staff very friendly which is absolutely essential for an enjoyable stay. We just stayed one night and had dinner also. It's all... more

This was our last hotel in Sicily and the only one that we enjoyed. (A word of warning, get good directions and do not rely on a GPS to get to the hotel. We traveled all over the city (includes backwards when we hit to narrow roads). The hotel is gorgeous, It looks out over Taormina, with beautful views. The... more

This hotel can’t be beaten for its location – in the heart of Taormina, next to the amphitheatre, close to shopping and restaurants but with breathtaking views over the town to the sea with Mount Etna smouldering (it was actually erupting when we were there) in the background. We had a room in the annex next door to the main... more

My husband and I just returned from Taormina and I would be remiss if I didn't write this comment. The Grand Hotel Timeo and Taormina will be a memory I cherish. The atmosphere, the location, the soft music, the moon, Mt. Etna, the service brought me to tears of joy and happiness. It was truely worth the four star rating.... more

The Timeo towers over the coast of Taormina and Naxos with an excellent view of Mount Etna – Which happened to be erupting during our stay. The terrace and restaurant of the hotel makes it out for everything – What a night ! The staff is professional and knows their trade. The sommelier knows his wines and is excellent in... more

The view from the terrace of the sea on one side and Mt. Etna on the other while having breakfast is delightful. We had a very nice corner room with terraces on both sides and large windows which let the beautiful Mediterranean light into the room. The hotel has been restored beautifully. The wifi worked well, the fitness room was... more

This is a classic, old, characterful spot with wonderful views of Etna and the Sea. Had planned to stay at sister hotel Vila St Andrea but was being refurbished so they transferred the booking. Personally could not fault anything - room was clean, staff were very helpful including concierge who kindly printed out by online boarding pass for me. Location... more

I don't know if there is enough space here to say what a wonderful time we had at Grand Hotel Timeo. The hotel is exquisite, the service is definitely that of a 5-star hotel. From the minute we made reservations, I could tell it would be a great experience. We had a superior room with an ocean view--yes the room... more

I have but one thing to say and sadly this is it: $50 dollars for two mojitos!! more
