General Description
Grand Hotel Timeo is located in front of the Greek Theatre in Taormina, in a building dating back to 1873, surrounded by 25,000 sq. m. of parkland, amid mulberry, magnolia, olive, cypress, almond and palm trees and captivating and enchanting countryside.
This historic hotel has been honoured by illustrious guests such as William II of Hohenzollern, a Duke of Prussia and German Emperor, after whom the most prestigious suite is named.
From the wonderful “literary terrace” you can admire Volcano Etna and the sea below.
Check Availability
The Grand Hotel Timeo is composed of two buildings, Timeo’s old building and Villa Flora, a new, fully renovated part opened in 2001. Double rooms are available in both buildings.
All of the rooms are finely furnished and have a panoramic terrace or a balcony.
The elegant suites recall the ostentatious Sicilian baroque style: one of these is the Kaiser Suite, with a wonderful terrace of about 220 sq. m. housing a small Jacuzzi tub for 5 people, where you can relive the magnificence enjoyed by the Sicilian aristocracy at the beginning of the century.
Rooms available: Twin.

Restaurant and bar
With a panoramic backdrop, the restaurant called "Il Dito e la Luna" serves exclusive Sicilian and Mediterranean specialities.
The "Giardino di Bacco", an informal restaurant surrounded by parkland, close to the swimming pool and open from April to October, is just as panoramic.
The characteristic "La Zagara" bar, decorated with the skilful work of Sicilian plaster artists, recreates the magical and welcoming atmosphere of a winter garden, similar to those found in baroque-style royal residences of the early 19th-century. The halls, with large windows overlooking the terrace, are ideal for reading and in the evening soft piano music echoes through these intimate, elegant and scenic surroundings.
