Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina serves an American buffet breakfast. The Michelin starred restaurant serves both Sicilian and Mediterranean cooking, and Literary Terrace & Bar provides drinks and snacks on its sea-view terrace.

Great views, beautiful rooms. The service was excellent. The gardens are amazing, pool so relaxing. And so close to shopping and the Greek theatre. We took the shuttle to the beach on 2 days and it was amazing.

My boyfriend and I stayed at NH Collection Taormina in May 2023. Our expectations have been exceeded in many ways. First of all the Reception helped us get a taxi from Taormina train station to the Hotel, welcomed us with a warm smile - sicilian style- . Cecilia has been very helpful and kind, I enjoyed her sweet and smooth service. On our check-in day, we were too tired to venture ourselves out for dinner, so we decided to dine at the Pool Restaurant. Being still low season, the Roof Top Restaurant was still closed. The service at the Pool Restaurant was impeccable. From Aperitivo with a breathtaking view over the Bay, to Dinner and post-dinner cocktail. Giuseppe at the Restaurant is the true Star. He entertained us with Historical tales about Taormina, always polite with a warm smile and truly made us feel extra special. The evening housekeeping politely knocked at our door to check if we might be in need of anything for the night, more towels and so on, she gifted us with a cute box with NH Collection Logo with italian chockolate. Such a sweet gesture! The hotel is downtown Taormina, you can easily walk pretty much anywhere. Sadly our stay was too short, but we will definitely be back, sure that we will always feel home at NH Collection Taormina.

Overlooking the Ionian Sea, La Plage Resort is set directly on its free private beach, within the Isola Bella Nature Reserve. It features rooms and bungalows with garden or sea views. The cable car to the historic centre of Taormina is a 10-minute walk away.

This is an outstanding hotel. From the moment we entered it was perfection. You come through a small tunnel and the front desk staff is waiting to greet you personally. You are offered a drink and the check in was a breeze. We stayed in room 206 which was a bungalow. It was perfectly clean and so comfortable. The room is gorgeous. The room staff came several times per day and there were always clean towels. At this resort you are guaranteed a lounge bed with a thick pillow no matter what time you arrive to the beach. The beach is pebble and they even have shoes for you. The beach lifeguard/staff were amazing. The beach bar is right there. There are quick lunch items that they will bring to your lounge chair or you can go to the lunch tables overlooking the sea. The mussels were outstanding and the Cesar salad with chicken amazing. The beach is directly next to Isola Bella. Could not be a better location. Breakfast is fantastic with so many choices and outstanding service. We also dined at Fusion for dinner with was beyond amazing. The serve and food was perfection. If you want the beach location, it’s just short drive up the hill by taxi or a quick walk to the lift. This hotel is a must stay! Plenty of parking and just amazing 5 star service. You cannot go wrong here. BRAVO to the staff at La Plage!

    We took the suite with terrace & the view to the sea was absolutely amazing. The location is perfect. The bed is large, firm and very comfortable. The suite & the terrace are specious. Above all that, exceptional, 5 stars level personal service by the hotel owner from before arrival to after check out. We are overly happy with our stay.
