Outstandingly good hotel! The rooms are excellent; the staff are very helpful. The hotel restaurants are very good, but you need to check in advance of your trip that you can get a table in the restaurants for dinner if you want one- they take wedding bookings which can fill the entire place. more

I stayed st San Domenico for business in June 2008 and was blown away by its beauty and elegance. Our room was located on the old monastery side, and had a spectacular view of the ocean. The staff were very helpful at all times, and the outstanding daily breakfast buffet was a decadent treat each morning. If you can scrape... more

Our family stayed at the Palazzo San Domenico in June 2008, the property is amazing with sweeping views of the Ionian sea. The garderns are covered with bougainvilla, lemons, and geraniums as you descend down to the quiet and relaxing pool. We were with our parents and our teenage children, although it may not be the best property for children,... more

We stayed here 3 days last summer as a base to explore this end of Sicily. What a beautiful place. Taormina is a perfect place to visit and spend a few days. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Taormina. The only 2 negatives - 1) the manager botched our tour guide one day causing us to spend... more

Stayed at the San Domenico for a week during the (extremely hot) summer of 2006 and found it to be a charming luxury hotel with terrific customer service. Yes, the structure looks "worn" - it is a several hundred-year-old monastery after all - but that only adds to the charm and uniqueness of the property. Rooms are big and comfortable,... more

We stayed for several nights in early April this year. We found a beautiful hotel which was located in the town of Taormina and close to everything. No need to taxi to dinner! The property is extremely well maintained. There are three courtyards within the walls of this former Domenican Monastery.The gardens outside and inside are beautiful.....probaby the most beautiful... more

Had a family wedding reception here a few years ago. The hotel is great-ish! The food was great, staff were great, and there's a real feeling of quality and 5-star-ness about the place. It's an ancient monastery, and my caused my Dad to try his hand at chanting Latin hymns while walking down the corridors, much to our embarrassment. I... more

Our first trip to this hotel last year had been terrific. Glad to say our second trip confirmed our first impressions. This is an excellent hotel in a wonderful place. The greeting is warm; the service is excellent in the bars and restaurants; the location is outstanding. Heartily recommend it. more

We had a lovely week here last May. This is a rather old fashioned elegant and refined hotel; it is quiet and rather sedate - not suitable for children or for families with lively teenagers as there would be nothing in the hotel to keep them occupied. Its charms are not those of a typical 5 star hotel, as frankly... more

We stayed three nights last week. The place is indeed beautiful and charming with fabulous views and public spaces. Better still was the staff who were uniformly gracious and welcoming. We were well looked after! more
