Built in 1873 in Taormina, with spectacular views of Mount Etna and the bay of Naxos, the Grand Hotel Timeo has opened its doors again, now part of the Orient Express hotel group. The decor of its rooms and suites combine contemporary style with traditional Sicilian touches.

Travelers staying at the hotel can soak up the natural and cultural splendour of one of the least known of the Mediterranean’s islands. A place where it feels time stands still, and which has retained all the glamour of the past.

The Grand Hotel Timeo has a private beach and is surrounded by two hectares of parkland. Guests can also enjoy its Wellness centre, offering beauty treatments as well as aromatherapy based on traditional flower and fruit essences from the island.
