Overview

Located in the centre of Taormina, the hotel has a prime position in front of the Greek Theatre, overlooking the bay of Taormina and Mount Etna.

As with many Orient-Express hotels, this heritage building is a landmark within its destination. Let Sicily come to you as you admire its gardens, savour sensational local cuisine and sit out on the Literary Terrace where generations of celebrated guests have gathered in the sun.

All 70 rooms and suites at Grand Hotel Timeo are stylishly decorated with Italian flair. Most have beautiful terraces or balconies. The suites evoke the opulent Italian Baroque style, while the Presidential Suite enjoys the added attraction of an expansive terrace with a summerhouse, a lounge, dining room and small hydro-massage swimming pool.

Guests can choose to stay in the Timeo Building or, for added privacy, in Villa Flora, a delightful annex just 50 metres from the Timeo Building.
