Even during Taormina’s peak tourist season, the Timeo stands as a tranquil haven. Not only is it a short walk from the lively heart of the town, but it’s also right next to the ancient Greek amphitheatre. Moreover, it offers a stunning panoramic view of Europe’s most active volcano, ensuring guests are always close to nature’s magnificence.

Over its long history, the Timeo has hosted illustrious figures ranging from Oscar Wilde to Truman Capote. Today, it remains a beacon of attraction with its elegant old-world features such as polished parquet floors, precious antiques, and a rich collection of art. However, it’s the modern amenities and top-tier services that ensure guests experience both history and luxury.

With Belmond’s acquisition, the Timeo underwent a major transformation in service quality. Now, guests are not only welcomed warmly but also treated to impeccable service throughout their stay. Whether it’s a day by the heated pool, a spa treatment, or an adventurous trip to the Silvestro crater on Etna, every experience is tailored to perfection. Additionally, guests have complimentary access to beach facilities at its sister hotel, Sant’Andrea.

The Timeo, boasting 70 unique rooms and suites, caters to a myriad of tastes. The main villa’s rooms beautifully blend the old with the new, offering views of the sea and the volcano, private terraces, and luxury amenities like Ortygia-scented toiletries. Thus, every stay promises both comfort and awe-inspiring visuals.

At Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo Taormina, Executive Chef Roberto Toro’s culinary creations are a treat for the senses. Traditional Sicilian flavors get a modern twist, letting guests enjoy dishes like spaghetti with clams or seared tuna steak. Moreover, the terrace bar provides an ambient setting, and breakfasts here are grand, offering everything from detox menus to classic Sicilian dishes.

The Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo is not just for couples or solo travelers; it’s a haven for families, too. With the beach nearby, enticing both kids and adults and rooms like the duplex in Villa Flora that adapt to family needs, every member is assured a memorable and comfortable experience.
