Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo opened in 1873 in Taormina, Sicily, set in gardens beside the ancient Greek Theatre and high above the Ionian Sea. The hotel offers classically styled rooms and suites, many with sea or Mount Etna views, a panoramic pool, a spa, and a literary bar and terrace restaurant known for their sunset views. It sits a short walk from Taormina's historic centre and shares a beach club with its sister property, Villa Sant'Andrea, on the bay below.
WHY WE LOVE IT:
The Timeo is the grande dame of Taormina, perched beside the ancient Greek Theatre with one of the most famous views in Sicily: Mount Etna smoking in the distance and the Ionian Sea far below. It's been hosting writers and aristocrats since 1873, and the literary bar and flower-filled terraces still have that old-world romance. Come for sunset on the terrace, the gardens, and the short walk into Taormina's pretty streets. My pick for classic Sicilian glamour with a view you won't forget.
