"Great location in the heart of the historical district, next door to a beautiful city park and walking distance to everything. Views from two balconies were spectacular. Older hotel, lots of antique furnishings and large rooms. I would recommend."

"Gorgeous boutique property in a fabulous location to explore Taormina. The valet parking was super helpful. Lovely views of Mt Etna from the terrace. The bar was an oasis with great cocktails. Would definitely recommend."

Lovely little hotel! Great staff—special mention goes to Giuseppe in the bar. The hotel is in the perfect location for a Taormina stay: not right in the centre but close enough to get there with a five minute walk. The rooms are lovely (well, ours was)! Also the breakfasts are to die for; such a wide selection to cater for every taste. I don’t really have any negatives that I can think of.

This hotel is a class act. Beautifully appointed, every detail taken care of, lovely linen, furniture and decoration. Walking distance into Central Taormina and all its restaurants. Close to the biological gardens. Lovely helpful staff. Breakfast in the rooftop restaurant is easily the best hotel breakfast I have had since Chewton Glen in the UK! Highly recommended.

We stayed for one night and it’s the most perfect location if you don’t have a long time in Taormina. The check in was very efficient and they called us beforehand to make sure our driver knew directions - when we arrived there was someone waiting for us before the road to the hotel (as its pedestrian only) they took our luggage and it was a premium service. Antonio and Salvatore checked us in and Antonio gave us a wonderful tour of the building and he was so friendly Abdulla passionate about...

I didn’t want to leave! This is a beautiful hotel with what feels like botanical gardens, an amazing pool and right on the beach with Etna always visible. The staff are all super friendly from reception, to the pool bar to the wine bar, and can help to book taxis. The pool and main restaurant served great food and if you want a cheaper meal there is a local restaurant next door on the beach.
It is quite remote if you don’t have a car so ensure to book taxis early as they are pricey. We walked...

We stayed here for a week at the end of June and would go back tomorrow if I could!
The hotel is in a great location with some fantastic views. We had booked a superior room with a view for a little extra and wasn't at all disappointed. Waking up in the morning to a view of the Greek amphitheatre and the sea on each site was well worth it.

Fantastic location right in the heart of Taormina. Stunning views of the sea from the room, breakfast room, drinks balcony. Hotel building is beautiful and the infinity pool is the gem of the hotel. Pricey, but worth it! Staff were very friendly and helpful and the buffet breakfast was out of this world.

The Grand Hotel Timeo is a beautiful place to stay, the staff are charming and attentive, the service is excellent and the position in Taormina very well placed for excellent views across the bay and towards Etna.

We had a superb stay, so close to all the shops but in a quiet area. We had a lovely room facing the ocean. Restaurant food were delicious and with great view, love it!

Lovely, quirky hotel. Good breakfast and friendly staff. Location is ideal for the beach.
I would say the only negative was the shower, struggled to get a hot shower

Great hotel with stunning views over the Aeonian Sea. There was a 5 minute shuttle bus in to the beautiful town of Tairmina or a 10 minute walk which we preferred, especially in the day when the park was open. The front desk staff were excellent and helped plan our days and made recommendations and reservations for some really excellent restaurants in the town.
